Obama Admits That He Lied To Get Elected [VIDEO] In a recent trip to Texas, Barack Obama gave a speech that was certainly unforgettable. And no, he wasnt announcing his retirement. Instead, Obama stood in front of a crowd of people and told them that he feels it is time to be honest now that he can run for president. That statement implies something we already knew but is shocking nonetheless: the president admitted to lying during his campaign. Obama went on to claim that he was not a partisan man. His favorite president was the first republic president, Lincoln. The statements are contradictory to the fact that the president in fact vowed to get revenge on non-supporters during his first term as presidency. Since that time, the president has made many unforgiveable moves, but now it appears that he has reached a state of pure defiance. Hes started creating his own laws and making unilateral decisions, and he seems to be done pretending to cooperate. Watch the video below and tell us what you think:
