Obama and the truth separate

Let's count the ways. Call it flip-flopping, call it re-adjusting, call it lying, you make the call....

  • Said in the primaries in 2007 and early 2008 that he would LEAD the fillibuster charge against wiretapping. He ended up voting for this bill.
  • He consisently said the surge didn't work, even military wise. Finally, in May, he gave a crack that conditions have improved in small part because of the surge. But still said it was a mistake. Then, in July, said the same thing- that he wouldn't have supported the surge. Now, for the first time, he's saying “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.” Umm, he's NEVER said this. We'll see when O'Reilly asks him, but he's still not said he made a mistake when he said after Bush announced plans for the surge. He said "I don't know anybody who thinks that an extra 30,000 troops would do any good."
  • Obama consistently said that McCain wants war in Iraq for 100 years. Besides being a lie, there’s nothing wrong with this statement. McCain actually said as long as nobody is dying and they are safe, we should keep an unlimited presence there. Just like Japan, Germany, France, etc. after wars. Obama STILL has not cleared his lie as inaccurate.
  • After all of Jeremiah Wright's racist, American hate filled comments, Obama said he had NEVER heard him say anything controversial..... The very next day in Philadelphia, he said "have I ever heard him say anything controversial, yes. But I can no more disown him than I can the black community"...... Five weeks later he disowned him after more comments. Now anyone who believes Obama didn't know anything about HIS pastor and close confidant are delusional, plain and simple.
  • "The failure of the Iraqi state would be a disaster," he said at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, according to an audiotape of the session. In late winter, 2008, on the campaign trail, Obama says he wants to bring the troops home yesterday -- you decide -- was he lying then or is he lying now?
  • During ALL of the primaries, Obama said he'd accept Public Financing. But, he went back on his word and is now lying. His excuses were so weak, even liberals have to laugh. He said he's doing this because of all of the 527 groups will be attacking him. Well, apparently Obama doesn't think he has any 527 groups supporting him. Laughable.
