President Barack Obama gave a real Fidel Castro-esque stemwinder of a speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday evening, as he attempted to puff up himself and his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. But as is the norm with Obama, his speech was laced with lies. Here are the nine biggest lies that Obama told in his DNC speech.
1. Obama painted a rosier picture of the economy than it really is. “After the worst recession in 80 years, we’ve fought our way back,” Obama said. “We’ve seen deficits come down, 401(k)s recover, an auto industry set new records, unemployment reach eight-year lows, and our businesses create 15 million new jobs.”
