Obama Campaign: Is there anything that the McCain camp is not lying about?

[grantcart]

In response to the breaking news that Palin has never visited Iraq the Obama campaign came out with its harshest counterpunch of the campaign yet

Report: Palin Did Not Visit Iraq

Obama aides described the new revisions to Palin's account as part of a growing pattern of deception. "The McCain campaign said Governor Palin opposed the Bridge to Nowhere, but now we know she supported it. They said she didn't seek earmarks, but now we know she hired a lobbyist to get millions in pork for her town and her state. They said she visited Iraq, but today we learned that she only stopped at the border. Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn't lying about?" Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor asked in a statement e-mailed to reporters.

Here is the reference to the Iraq non visit

WASILLA, Alaska -- Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin are scrambling to explain details of her only trip outside North America -- which, according to a new report, did not include Iraq, as the McCain-Palin campaign had initially claimed.

Palin made an official visit to see Alaskan troops in Kuwait in July of 2007. There, she made a stop at a border crossing with Iraq, but did not actually visit the country, according to a new report in the Boston Globe.

Earlier, McCain aides had said that Palin visited Iraq, and expressed indignation at questions about her slim foreign travel.

The campaign also said she had been to Ireland; that turned out to have been a refueling stop.

In her ABC interview, Palin said she had also been to Canada and to Mexico, where her advisers said she went on vacation.

4. And not just by Obama. EVERY Democrat appearing on talking-head television

needs to repeat it over and over and over until it sinks in.

6. Whatever. You could See Iraq from there

Remember, thats all it takes. Just like Ireland- you can see it from the Airport. Come to think of it, she passed over a number of other countries, and could see half of them from her window seat. She has Massive foreign experience. Why do you have to be such a misogynist?

7. I'm thinking of putting my name in for Ambassador to Ireland. I had at least

30 pints of Guiness - all in Irish pubs. Plus I had at least a dozen Irish coffees - also all in Ireland (two of them were in gift shops).
