Which was more of a whopper?

Which quote ranks higher than the others?

A. Read my lips, 'No new taxes.'
B. I didn't have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinski.
C. If you like your plan, you can keep it?

Personally, I think A was really misquoted as people confused the homonyms and the quote is really, "Read my lips, 'know new taxes'."

I didn't include the WMDs because that's more in the category of either being a mistake (which isn't a lie) or that they were all spirited out of the country before being found.

Well, let's go through 'em.
A. Read my lips - no new taxes. The Democrats controlling Congress FORCED those new taxes through and blamed them on the President. Where he screwed up was in not using his veto pen properly, so I guess you can qualify it.
B. I did not have sexual relations with that woman. Monica Lewinsky. We ALL knew that was an out-and-out lie when it was delivered, so it really kinda doesn't qualify. And frankly, it's a lie that wouldn't have mattered to anything if it hadn't been delivered while under oath before a grand jury.
C. If you like your plan, you can keep it. Half of us knew that was fiction when it was delivered, but it preyed on those who support this guy, (the weakest among us coincidentally,) and those people are STILL refusing to accept that as a lie even when the President himself has admitted it was a lie when it was delivered. So I give it the prize.

EDIT: Hey Elliot - more Democrats delivered your lie than Republicans, including Al Gore and John Kerry. You... know that, right?

EDIT 2: Dave - He was impeached. He just wasn't removed from office.

No new taxes came from Bush but came from a democratic congress
Read her lips was what Clinton said about a girl at the Whitehouse who's parents were big donors to the Clinton campaign. But it only effect the Clinton's credibility.
If you like your plan you can keep your plan was a big lie (Pinocchio winner) or an incompetent president who never read the bill. But even after the truth came out the President kept saying the same thing plus you can keep your doctor. So he had to deliberately lie about the Democratic Obamacare to ALL of the AMERICAN people on purpose.
So to me the biggest Whopper was our president lying about the Democratic Obamacare (AHC).

I am one of the few people that believe that Clinton was not lying. By Clinton's definition and mine, sexual relations requires penetration. What Clinton said was that he did not penetrate. All he did was a little hooking up like most high schoolers are doing today.

The other two weren't lies either, just bad predictions.

Bush 1 actually meant what he said but he said it before he took office and learned just how financially messed up the country actually was. By then he had no choice but to go back on his promise.

Clinton out and out knew he was lying when he spoke and I don't believe Obama was all that far off when he made his statement.

I think B should be changed to "I did NOT rape all those women!" And if we could get Queen Hillary the Great to stand next to Mr. War on Women while he says it, so much the better.

C, however, takes the cake in terms of the effect it is and will be having on the entire nation.
