2. That's about what that other link I've seen here would look like.
People keep writing that Obama lies but they don't back it up with any examples.

3. When he said Hillary was likeable enough, he lied.
Sorry, but I do remember that whopper.

5. That's an opinion, not a lie
It would be a lie if he didn't mean it, but there is no way to verify this, so I can't count it.

33. Nonsense. It was a lie, and your attempt to categorize it as opinion only is lame.
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 06:32 PM by TexasObserver
I don't believe for a second he believed it when he said it.

She's about as likeable as a gila monster.

8. not lies, but he has certainly said a lot of things that set me off:
his praise of ray-gun, his comment about repukes being the party of ideas, the "excesses of the 60's", his arrogance in stating categorically that all hillary's supporters would come to him, but none of his would go to her, his comment about women making the decision to abort "prayerfully", and his support for abstinence education, just to name a few.

12. But so many Clinton supporters call Obama a liar
I'd like to see the proof of that accusation. Has he said things not everyone will like? Of course. What else is new? It's impossible to please everyone all of the time, and to believe that a candidate must represent everything you believe, is naive and foolish, IMHO. On the whole, while I disagree with him on many things, his positions are much more palatable than the two PROVEN LIARS who want the job as well.

14. hey, I didn't say anything about him lying. I am simply pointing out that a lot of what
he has SAID bothers me. surely you are capable of understanding the difference.

by the way, you have no idea who I support.

20. And I never suggested you said he was lying
I merely said that to expect a politician to represent your views 100% is naive, and foolish. And I don't pretend to know who you support - again, I don't see where you got that from, based upon my response...

9. Obama KNOWS some people who have lied
And therefore, according to the guilt-by-association rule, Obama has also lied.

28. Because Hillary told them to
You know, the people who just can't manage to get in front of a camera to criticize an illegal war - but get there at break-neck speed to trash a Dem.

He doesn't take money from oil PACs or lobbies. He can't control what every oil company employee does, and you know it. By this measure, Kerry was a liar too.

16. Any claim to an Obama lie is a lie
Because once you take away the spin, there is no lie. And that's no lie.

I think at one point he said he'd not taken money from Rezko, then mentioned it was a certain amount, then later $250K.

24. No, not exactly.
Obama never denied taking money from Rezko. There were donations from people tied to Rezko that he didn't initially give back and include in his first number. Since those donations didn't have Rezko's name on them, its not surprising that the mistake was made.

25. I'm sure if there were any truth to this
Clinton would have been spewing about it all along. The fact that she says nothing, given her penchant for jumping on anything - guilt by association, for example - that she believes will turn people against Obama, certainly suggests to me there may not be much truth in this at all...what do you think? If it were true, wouldn't Hillary be using it?

30. Compared to her own campaign finance scandals
Rezko is absolutely nothing. She doesn't want to go down that road.

23. "Hillary your likeable enough"
I think it was true when he said it but it has become a lie.


She was even telling her supporters to go door to door and tell people she is not a terrible person

26. That's Obama's opinion, not a lie
Unless he didn't mean it when he said it, and there is no way to verify this - well, I guess one could ask Obama if he meant it when he said it...

liars.

It's quite the spectacle.

35. Come on Clinton supporters - not one?
You call Obama a liar, but you offer no proof? What, are you just throwing stones in the playground? Or is there actual substance to the label? Or is there another label you wish you could throw around? Why do you call him a liar if you have NO evidence of lies?

I don't get it...

36. You can start here.
http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_Obama/ObamaLies.htm

It took three seconds on Google to find dozens of links to what are termed "lies" by Obama. Many of them, including the one above, look like kitchen sink/Clinton body count-types of wingnuttery, but even wingnuts occasionally get it right. By following the links provided, each reader will have to make up his or her own mind, but there is definitely a LOT of suspicion out there that Obama is sometimes (cough) less than truthful.

And if we used the same standards for truthfulness for Obama that the MSM and the blogosphere use for Hillary, there would be very little difference between the two, veracity-wise.

After all, everyone is a liar to someone who simply refuses to believe them.
