'Lie of the Year' winner Barack Obama gives another speech on disinformation

Former President Barack Obama has emerged recently to warn America about disinformation. We learned earlier this month that he’s still angry that right-wing “misinformation” kept his baby Obamacare from reaching its full potential.

We noted then that Obama had won PolitiFact’s “Lie of the Year” award for his claim that if you liked your doctor, you could keep your doctor. But this editor’s personal favorite bit of Obama misinformation is the times he claimed he learned of something on the news, just like you did. Like the time he said he learned about Hillary Clinton’s homebrew email server the same time everyone else did, from news reports. This is odd, seeing as he’d been emailing back and forth with her at her private address, [email protected], using his pseudonym.

Anyway, here’s Obama at Stanford warning us all about disinformation:

Obama: “People like Putin, and Steve Bannon for that matter, understand it’s not necessary for people to believe disinformation… You just have to flood a country’s public square with enough raw sewage.” pic.twitter.com/5XGXgfEQtA

My doctor said the same thing before I couldn't see him after Obamacare

He would know

We've all sorely disappointed Mr. Lie Of The Year.

Obama:

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"

"Jobs saved or created"

Bill Ayers is "a guy who lives in my neighborhood"

"Jerusalem … must remain undivided"

Oh, and Benghazi was caused by a YouTube video.

Just some of the lies that defined Obama's presidency. https://t.co/pAqCWLlsiG

As when Susan Rice told us all that the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous event that was the result of a protest over a YouTube video?

When Susan Rice went on all five Sunday morning news programs to say it was a protest over a YouTube video … which the WikiLeaks John Podesta email hack proved was a story cooked up the night of the attack. In fact, they were going with another video at first before deciding to blame the one they arrested the director of in the middle of the night.

You mean like the whole “Trump Russia collusion” thing? Or is this more about the “Hunter laptop is Russian disinformation” disinformation?

Projection…brazen projection.

Speaking of raw sewage, how’s his Spotify contract?

— Ron Bassilian (@Ron4California) April 21, 2022

And his Netflix contract.

Pretty poor form for Obama to namecheck Steve Bannon in the same category as Putin.
Especially coming from a President who dropped the most bombs in American history.

Steve Bannon? What year does he think this is?
