The Issue: The Post’s poll of famous liars in history after Lance Armstrong’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.

After the shock of seeing the bigger tax bite in our January paychecks, how did President Obama not make the list of worst liars (“You Voted! Biggest Liar in History Is . . .” Jan. 16)?
He said that there would be no tax increases on the middle class. Eugene R. Dunn

The Post forgot Bill and Hillary Clinton!
Who could forget his finger-wagging in denying his Monica Lewinsky affair?
Or their lack of knowledge as to how they turned $1,000 into $100,000 playing the cattle-futures market.
How about their handling of Vince Foster’s documents after investigators stopped their probe?
This is classic stuff from people who went to Yale and were licensed attorneys. Mark Schauer

In the vote for the worst liar in history, I would say this is a rather incomplete list.
How about the current occupant of the White House?Otis Glazebrook

I was shocked to see that the poll asking “Who’s the biggest liar in history?” did not include President Clinton.
He famously looked every American in the eye on television and declared: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.”
In a related story, Clinton was just named Father of the Year by the National Father’s Day Council.
Pierre Corneille said, rightly, “A liar is always lavish of oaths.”

Clinton lied not only to his wife, but to an entire nation.
