"I saw my father march with Martin Luther King"
and I watched them dodge sniper fire on the streets of Detroit. - Mitt Romney

Yes, her lie is just like his lie. It's just as bad, and just as grandiosely self-serving. And Like Mittens, she's getting hammered on this, and deservedly so.

Maybe she'll finally emulate him and do what's good for the party, and the country, because we can't have republicans in power at a time of economic spasms, and at a time of clusterfuck in Iraq(n?).

11. Is it as bad as claiming you were against the war from the start yet voting against troop withdrawal
:shrug:

Clinton made an exaggeration that only the most partisan opponent or the most ridiculous fool would call a lie. Obama's made dozens of such statements, from his name to his voting record on the war. Anyone who campaigns constantly for years is going to say some goofy shit. At the end of it all, we still have a local politician with no national experience whatsover running against one of the most highly qualified people to have ever run. They have nearly identical voting records and stands on the issues.

Obama should drop out and grow up a bit before running again, before his juvenile hubris drags down this party and this nation. Otherwise those Republicans you fear will grab the White House in four years and make Reagan look like a liberal for the next couple of decades.

21. Obama's Camelot Connection....exaggeration, oversimplification, or lies?
http://www.commongroundcommonsense.org/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t89877.html He is just another politician that stretches the truth.
