Face it, Clinton loyalists. She completely fabricated a story |
|
You can point to all sorts of exaggerations, half truths, creative omissions, and word plays that Obama has committed against "the truth". None of it even compares to what Ms. Clinton said. Note that I don't deny that Obama is capable of stretching things, as all politicians are.
But Clinton outright made up a story. A complete fabrication. She got caught telling a bald faced lie, with video evidence to back it up. There is no room for interpretation, no room for any benefit of the doubt.
Clinton's Bosnia story is the equivalent of putting "PhD, Quantum Physics" on your resume when all you have is a high school diploma. It doesn't even come close to any of Obama's exaggerations. Everybody lies on their resume, but only fraudulent criminals make things up out of whole cloth.
This is who you want for your president?

1. Yes all politicians lie, but this is different |
|
There was no need for this lie whatsoever. None at all.

7. The double standard continues |
|
Obama takes all that grief for something somebody he knows says.
If Obama had said what Hillary had said he would have been forced from the campaign immediately - ask Sen. Biden.

9. There are lies, and then there are whoppers that make one the butt of jokes |
|
And Snipergate is the latter.

10. Snipergate? Is that what it is now. Is it like the media and what they... |
|
call the "wright scandal"?

11. Hillary told less of a lie than Obama did when asked how much Rezko had given him. |
|
Obama had records and a staff, not to mention his personal memory, to guide his statements about what Rezko had given him. Hillary had nothing but her personal memory. Neither one of them told the whole truth the first time these subjects came up.
Which lie is bigger -- a false boast you were under fire when you weren't?
or, a deliberate misstatement of how much you, a politician, have been given by a crooked manipulator -- followed, as was Obama's, with yet another missatement that also underestimated the truth by hundreds of thousands of dollars -- followed, finally, by the truth -- when it became unavoidable -- which was that Rezko had given him 5 times more than Obama originally told us he did. By Obama standards, both candidates are liars.
By ethical standards, Obama is a worse one.
