He lied more than 18 times about keeping your doctor and "shovel ready" jobs. Obama was the worst president ever and an even more worthless human being.

Let me guess, all of obama's lies were grouped by subject and counted as 1, and a President Trump "lie" is every instance when he gets a harmless, little factoid not PRECISELY correct when he's going from memory.
"We created 244,000 jobs in November." -- President Trump
The failing nyt rates this statement as mostly false. The US economy actually created 244,001 jobs.

Lmao.
They are just trolling America, getting paid off, or are complete delusional idiots at this point.
Those are the choices

The 53 states doesn't count as a lie as Indonesia has that many.

Off the top of my head, I can think of two lies Obama told repeatedly that were not included: the health insurance mandate is not a tax and that drones are "surgically precise."
I guess the NYT couldn't hear his lies over their own slurping sounds.

I might believe Obama only lied once over the last two years. He did absolutely nothing in 2015 or 2016. Not that it was a bad thing.
This article just goes to show that people hear what they want to hear. And seriously, Trump saying he was on the cover of Time "like 14 or 15 times" and calling it a lie because it was only 11? Doesn't appear the same level of scrutiny went into the Obama analysis.

Someone needs to tell the NYT that Obama lied about boots on the ground 16 times alone.

Good to know that no one seems to be denying the 103 made by the current lackey in 10 months.

Both numbers (Trump's 103 and the 18 by Obama) sound low.
I would assume someone who basically never lies as a political operative would lie more than 18 times in an 8 year term. Hell, that would still be great.
My guess is their methodology is very, very off.

I'm thinking they went by only only actual, confirmable lies.
The sad thing is that Trump has repeated some of those lies over and over.
At least Obama admitted he was wrong on a few of the lies he said.

The only lie I recall Obama admitting to was the "shovel ready jobs statement", and I recall him joking about it. It wasnt a real joking matter. He spent a trillion dollars on "jobs" and americans got no jobs.
