He spent the first 3 years of his campaign telling us how we should elect him because he is "different" than the rest. I saw this early on and it intrigued me. Back in March or so I was actually leaning towards Obama because he really did seem different. But, then once he came under fire his true colors have shown. He is now going around calling every person a liar regardless of the facts.

1. He called a Palin a liar for saying she opposed the Bridge to Nowhere.

The Truth- She was for it until when it came to her desk, she decided that is not what people wanted and sent the money to more pressing needs. Again calling her an outright liar was so uncalled for.

2. He called McCain a liar for the Pig Lipstick thing.

The Truth- "From McCain" Obama is very careful about the words he chooses, and he knew what he was saying. Palin joke had been already well inudated. Obama was at least playing off of her joke in a mocking way. If he did not, he dumber than we think he is (douptful- he is really bright). Again calling people a liar is completely irresponsible.

3. Palin did ask for earmarks as Governer.

The Truth- She accepted them as Governer for research and infastructure and such. As mayor she asked for them, but she never ever said she did not get them, and said nothing about her mayorship. However, I believe they should have been more direct because the political spin is misleading. But they did not outright LIE as Obama claims.

4. McCain Campaign Add Acuses Obama of supporting Sex-Ed for Kinderergarden. Obama says they are lying through their teeth.

The Truth- Obama is lying through his teeth about NOT supporting it. I have seen the bill which he pushed through the Illinios State senate which specifically calls for Sex-ed for Kindergarden. Also, I heard a clip of him saying sex-ed for kindergarden was "the right thing to do". Talking about the pot calling the kettle black.

Obama is tarnishing his Image as the "Different" politician every time he opens his mouth. He is now calling McCain sleazy, and dishonest. I have gone from liking him as a person to almost detesting him. From the comparisons to Jesus (comunity organizer) to crying like a 8 year old to his momma when people are picking on him.  He makes me sick.

3. See link #1 above, scroll down a little bit further, Here's a particularly damning paragraph

The bridge reversal is not the only matter throwing doubt on Palin’s credentials as a government waste reformer. Watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense has reported that the small town of Wasilla, Alaska, which had not previously received significant federal funds, hauled in almost $27 million in earmarks while Palin was mayor. (McCain has explicitly criticized several of the Wasilla earmarks in recent years.) To help obtain these earmarks, Palin had hired Steven Silver, the former chief of staff for recently indicted Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, as Wasilla’s lobbyist.

And Palin continued to solicit federal funds as governor. A request form on Stevens’ Web site shows that she requested $160.5 million in earmarks for the state in 2008, and almost $198 million for 2009.

There all of your accusations are answered with a quick visit to a website, topic is now moot. Go there before you decide to make more of these asinine topics. And don't try to say factcheck.org is part of the liberal media, they have an abundance of articles on Obama as well.

You think it's crazy that I don't believe what you say, I think it's crazy when people tell me that the earth is flat. But sometimes there are little things called facts on one side of the equation.
