Obama the 'Second coming'?????

[Tigger Woods]

Yep, that's nasty. But as nasty as it is, it doesn't impair his ability to govern. And has he "lied" about it?

I don't believe anyone implied he lied about it. Obama has been very open about his drug use and nicotine addiction.

As opposed to President Bush, who although admitted to having a drinking problem until the age of 40, concealed his DUI conviction. Of course, he flatly refuses to discuss any possible drug use that occured before the age of 40, so who knows? In the face of swirling rumors, if the President never used illegal drugs, why wouldn't he simply answer "No. Never." and move on?

Yes, this election is all about GWB.

Okay, I didn't get past Snopes because if you actually READ the Snopes link most of the "lies" are debunked. Scroll down a bit.

That is what I don't get.

I didn't get pst snopes either,but it looks better for Obama thatn the "50 lies"

I think it is pertinent only to show double standard.

Precisely.

Fight the smear campaign.

How about talking about issues for a change?

Where's the one for McCain???

What double standard?

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

What double standard?

Man...you'll need to go back to page 2 or 3 and read all the way through. That's what you get for coming late to the party.

 

[yeartolate]

What double standard?

During the 2000 and to a lesser extent 2004 Bush's substance abuse was "not our business" .

This one's funny ( from http://my.barackobama.com/page/invite/notape ):

Lie:
On May 30th, Rush Limbaugh said he had heard a rumor that a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “Whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.

Which part is the lie? That Limbaugh said he heard a rumor? That Limbaugh actually did hear a rumor?

There's no assertion even claimed to be a lie! These people are scary.

Folks who repeatedly hear unsubstantiated stuff frequently think it is true. So a big shot like Limbaugh is highly influential.

That is true, but also nonresponsive.

 

[Mrs.Toad]

You said "Since when is changing your mind considered a lie?". I just provided another example of someone "changing their mind".

oooooooooooookkaaay.

I did! Told you to google Obama lies. But you discounted them because the were on the Internet! Even though many are referenced.

But I googled for you.

...and so on and so on

Maybe you can tell me some Obama Truths?

Okay, I didn't get past Snopes because if you actually READ the Snopes link most of the "lies" are debunked. Scroll down a bit.

Actually, I did google, and found the same evidence that freckles and boo did. I also found a lot of obvious overexaggerations, twisting of words, and overly literal interpretations, none of which come anywhere close to supporting your claim that he "is the biggest pathological liar to come in a loooooooooong time".

As for "Obama truths", as I mentioned more than once, I'm not one of his supporters, so I'm not going to try to prove him the better candidate. I am merely sick of hearing all this meaningless crap about him. I only appear to be defending Obama in this thread because he is the only candidate against which I'm hearing such hysteria. I'm not saying it's not happening to McCain, or that it didn't happen to Clinton, but I seem to keep running into only the anti-Obama hysteria.

Where's the one for McCain???

I don't know. Maybe you can tell us? Surely, there have to be lies being told about him as well. Wonder why he doesn't feel the need to refute them?

Actually it is. It's about getting him and anyone slightly resembling him out of Washington, D.C. as fast as possible. We want change and we want it now. Yes we can.

Anytime a runner incorporates religion with politics in his campaign, he will loose.

 

[yeartolate]

That is true, but also nonresponsive.

Rush technically did not lie.

Nice standard to stick to.

I hate it when either side does it.

Pisses me off. It is a way to get away with telling what you know probably is not true.

It is juvenile.

Bush yes, country, not so much.
