Obama steals Hillary lines to pander to voters. Why does Obama think that words will earn your votes and not action.
Even Friday, Obama borrowed pieces of Clinton’s stump speech during a stop at a glass factory near Scranton, employing the same rhetoric that helped Clinton win in Pennsylvania.
“I have to say to you: I’m not perfect, but the one thing people can’t deny is that for my entire public life, I’ve been fighting for folks like you, ordinary, middle-class families and working families, helping them getting ahead,” Obama said.
LOOK AT ALL THE OBAMA LIES:
We checked the accuracy of Obama’s speech accepting the Democratic nomination, and noted the following:
Obama said he could “pay for every dime” of his spending and tax cut proposals “by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens.” That’s wrong – his proposed tax increases on upper-income individuals are key components of paying for his program, as well. And his plan, like McCain’s, would leave the U.S. facing big budget deficits, according to independent experts.
He twisted McCain’s words about Afghanistan, saying, “When John McCain said we could just ‘muddle through’ in Afghanistan, I argued for more resources.” Actually, McCain said in 2003 we “may” muddle through, and he recently also called for more troops there.
He said McCain would fail to lower taxes for 100 million Americans while his own plan would cut taxes for 95 percent of “working” families. But an independent analysis puts the number who would see no benefit from McCain’s plan at 66 million and finds that Obama’s plan would benefit 81 percent of all households when retirees and those without children are figured in.
Obama asked why McCain would “define middle-class as someone making under five million dollars a year”? Actually, McCain meant that comment as a joke, getting a laugh and following up by saying, “But seriously …”
Obama noted that McCain’s health care plan would “tax people’s benefits” but didn’t say that it also would provide up to a $5,000 tax credit for families.
He said McCain, far from being a maverick who’s “broken with his party,” has voted to support Bush policies 90 percent of the time. True enough, but by the same measure Obama has voted with fellow Democrats in the Senate 97 percent of the time.
Obama said “average family income” went down $2,000 under Bush, which isn’t correct. An aide said he was really talking only about “working” families and not retired couples. And – math teachers, please note – he meant median (or midpoint) and not really the mean or average. Median family income actually has inched up slightly under Bush.

From what I’ve read and what you write, I think there are some lies that do not belong to Obama in your presentation. I imagine people are able to determine the realities from more reliable sources.
McCain says he is a maverick which is defined as an unbranded steer which wanders the range. I take it he means he doesn’t wear the GOP brand. No brand does NOT mean unowned. Mavericks belong to someone. The owners just want their ownership to be unknown.

Obama will only cut taxes after he raises them, and he will raise them more than he cuts them. He will take away the Bush tax cuts, and he will raise taxes on corporations, causing them to either close their doors or cut a lot of employees.
There is a reason, whenever he and Michelle speak at colleges, that he tells them to go into social service careers rather than corporate America. He hates capitalism, loves socialism, and is trying to destroy all of our corporations.

First off John McCain is only offering words also so what point are you trying to make? I see you say “we checked”. Who is we you and the mouse in your pocket. You say he plan to pay for new incentives is wrong,why because you say so, who are you a grade school drop out, and with a con you know that the truth is not used to often. And according to the government (you know the gov that you say does no wrong) the average family income went down over 2 thousand dollars.What a troll.

The fact check site distorts a few facts of its own. Just because they are current allies supplying us with oil doesn’t mean they always will be, In being supplied oil by them we are not energy independent. Fact check sucks. Those facts aren’t facts.
