Doesn't matter that SP told the biggest lie, or that her biggest talent is spreading half-truths or outright lies. All politicans lie, and definitely all political commercials lie. Sarah Palin just does it with a prettier face and a folksier attitude. Really sad that she has a following who defend her so vigorously. People really do hear only what they want to hear.

Yup a lot of doozies, that one also gets on the list, but again a more obscure figure..

I would say this one too

To achieve health care reform, "I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies -- they'll get a seat at the table, they just won't be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies. And so, that approach, I think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process."
--Barack Obama

but it was said in 2008 not 2009

Oh, and that article by Michael Goldfarb where he fabricated a story about Pres. Obama threatening Ben Nelson with the closure of Offutt Air Base unless he voted for health reform — that comes to mind also.
