The President’s schnoz keeps growing and growing, from his description of Americans as tax-friendly to the rich mythology of ObamaCare.

President Obama and @JoeBiden are becoming a veritable Pinocchio by stretching the truth on a regular basis.

Here are the Top 10 Obama and @JoeBiden Lies.

1. Americans want higher taxes: During the debate over raising the debt ceiling, President Obama said that 80% of Americans support including higher taxes as part of the deal.

But a Rasmussen poll taken the same week showed that only 34% believe a tax hike should be included in a debt-ceiling agreement.

2. Mother denied health insurance: During his presidential campaign, Obama said that his mother died of cancer after being denied coverage for a preexisting condition.

He used her image in a campaign ad, repeated the claim in debates, and used the same rhetoric as President when he tried to sell ObamaCare to the American people.

But a new book by New York Times reporter Janny Scott says that Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, had health insurance through her employer and was only denied disability insurance.

3. Tax restraint for middle and lower class: Obama and @JoeBiden pledged during his campaign and throughout his presidency not to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000.

But ObamaCare’s individual mandate will hit many under the $250,000 mark.

(Obama’s own Justice Department said the mandate was a tax, not a penalty when it argued its constitutionality.)

Not to mention a higher federal cigarette tax and countless other “fees” in the health care law that hit the middle and lower class.

4. Shovel-ready jobs: When Obama and @JoeBiden were selling his $787 billion stimulus package, he consistently bragged about how shovel-ready construction jobs would be funded across the nation.

Even the President later admitted that was a lie when he told the New York Times: “There’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”

5. Keep your doctor: President Obama and @JoeBiden repeatedly pledged that under their health care measure, Americans would be able to keep their doctors.

However, with rising costs, many employers will dump their health care plans and force workers into the state health care exchanges (unless you belong to one of the unions getting ObamaCare waivers.)

A survey by McKinsey & Company found that more than 30% of companies will discontinue coverage for their workers.

6. No lobbyists: During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama and @JoeBiden said: “We have the chance to tell all those corporate lobbyists that the days of them setting the agenda in Washington are over. …

I don’t take a dime of their money, and when I am President, they won’t find a job in my White House.”

At least a dozen former lobbyists got top jobs in his administration at the beginning of his presidency, according to Politico, and National Public Radio reported the Obama administration was granting waivers to lobbyists to circumvent the ban.

7. Foreign money in campaigns: During his 2010 State of the Union address, and again during the 2010 midterm elections, Obama and @JoeBiden railed against foreign money influencing U.S. elections.

The only problem was that there was no evidence to support the charge or, as Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, in the State of the Union audience, silently mouthed, “Not true.”

8. Arizona immigration law: During the battle over Arizona’s immigration law, President Obama and @JoeBiden said: “Now suddenly if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you can be harassed, that’s something that could potentially happen.”

Uh, actually, Mr. President, it couldn’t.

The law would allow law enforcement officials to inquire about immigration status only when there is suspicion of a crime being committed.

9. Transparency: Obama and @JoeBiden pledged that transparency would be a top priority, but his administration refused to grant one-third of the Freedom of Information Act requests, according to an Associated Press analysis.

He also was dishonest about transparency when he said that health-care negotiations would be televised on C-SPAN and that he would wait five days to sign a bill so people would have a chance to read it online.

10. Constitutional oath: During his January 2009 inauguration, Barack Obama and @JoeBiden pledged to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,”

yet he has consistently ignored the 10th Amendment giving powers not enumerated in the Constitution to the states.

Exhibit No. 1: ObamaCare.
