Which is the biggest lie any President has told?

Answer 1

There have been so many lies. With such tragic consequences, and how do we measure them. So we will confine ourselves to the most pressing lies:

If you are an Iraqi mother who lost your children killed by American bombs ...
If you are an Iraqi who has been tortured or seen your children and your wife raped by American occupiers...
If you are a constitutional scholar...
If you are an American national guard person who lost your sight in an unnecessary war...
If you abhors your government lying to America...

GWB has satisfied the criteria (biggest lie) for a very diverse types of victims.

Answer 2

Abe Lincoln, for claiming that the Civil war was about ending slavery. The Civil war was much more about taking the right to decide from the states and consolidation power into the Federal Government. Ever since America lost the Civil war we have been abused by the Federal Government. I AM NOT FOR SLAVERY, i am glad it ended, but lets not lie to ourselves.

The 2nd worst lie would have to be that "taking our gold and silver backed money out of circulation and allowing a PRIVATE bank named the Federal Reserve to issue us Debt notes in its place" was a good idea or was in the best interest of our nation. John F Kennedy passed Executive order 11110 shortly before he died. He was trying to get rid of the Federal Reserve. Look up Executive order 11110!!

The most recent and 3rd lie would be Terrorism. We created it, we funded it, we bombed enough families and backed enough brutal dictatorships to make it appealing.

Answer 3

Any one who does not say "I am not a crook" By Richard Nixon has forgotten history and therefore like many is doomed to repeat it.

No President in History has come as close to over throwing our system of government as Nixon

To put either Bush or Clinton in the same boat is foolishness

Answer 4

I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man.

Abraham Lincoln in his speech to Charleston, Illinois, 1858

....he freed the slaves, yeah ok, and how about the civil war was about slavery in the first place.

Answer 5

I love that somebody put "I did not have sexual relations." Some Gorilla really thinks that the B.J story was the worst lie a president ever told... That's freaking wonderful. No wonder our country as fallen to where it is today.
I would have to say the worst lie told was "the push for Democracy in the Middle East" nonsense we where given when this hole shenanigan started. Or maybe it was the "Your either with us. Or your with the Terrorists." That was quit a doozy as well..

Answer 6

I won

George W Bush, November 8, 2000

Answer 7

I did not have sex with that WOMAN, MRS Lewinski!


BUSH & CLINTON did not lie about WMD

"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."

-Bill Clinton on "Larry King Live" 07/23/2003

Answer 8

Remember the Maine to hell with Spain, the start of the Spanish American War, McKinley

Major Combat Operations in Iraq are over, Bush 43

Answer 9

I don't think we will ever know the biggest lie. Somethings cannot be and sometimes should not be told. The most blatant in recent times was when Clinton sat there and looked this nation in straight in the eye and said "I did not have sex with that woman".

Answer 10

The biggest lie is when people die.
LBJ lied about Vietnam, Reagan about Iran-Contras, Clinton lied about Kosovo, Bush about Iraq.
