Lies, damn lies and Statistics

Editor- Sitnews,
There is a political saying: "Lies, damn lies and statistics" One political party point its fingers at the other and vise verse. Any who are involved with politics, be it local, State or National have been and are guilty of finger pointing. There is no innocence's claimed or declared.
What is the point? Really none, just another day and another political disaster viewed by some or a roaring success as viewed by others.
Perhaps a moment of clarity from Presidents past to current for those who keep score. It is a given that there are other lying Presidential quotes other than these being brought to light.
Regards,
Al Johnson

LBJ:
We were attacked (in the Gulf of Tonkin)
Nixon:
I am not a crook
GHW Bush:
Read my lips - No new taxes
Clinton:
I did not have sex with that woman... Miss Lewinski
GW Bush:
Iraq has weapons of mass destruction
Obama:
I will have the most transparent administration in history.
The stimulus will fund shovel-ready jobs.
I am focused like a laser on creating jobs.
The IRS is not targeting anyone.
It was a spontaneous riot about a movie.
If I had a son.
I will put an end to the type of politics that "breeds division, conflict and cynicism".
You didn't build that!
I will restore trust in Government.
The Cambridge cops acted stupidly.
The public will have 5 days to look at every bill that lands on my desk
It's not my red line - it is the world's red line.
Whistle blowers will be protected in my administration.
We got back every dime we used to rescue the banks and auto companies, with interest.
I am not spying on American citizens.
ObamaCare will be good for America
You can keep your family doctor.
Premiums will be lowered by $2500.
If you like it, you can keep your current healthcare plan
It's just like shopping at Amazon
I knew nothing about "Fast and Furious" gunrunning to Mexican drug cartels
I knew nothing about IRS targeting conservative groups
I knew nothing about what happened in Benghazi
I have never my uncle from Kenya who is in the country illegally and that was arrested and told to leave the country over 20 years ago
And, I have never lived with that uncle. (He finally admitted today, (12-05-2013) that he DID know his uncle and that he DID live with him.
And one that history may clarify the truth of this sworn statement:
"I, Barrack Hussein Obama, pledge to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America."
