Obviously job report was taken as a good thing but its 7.8% which is still pretty awful.

Im not even a Republican Id take Clinton again ANY day. Obama has failed policies end of story

its not 7.8. it will get revised up. as it has for like 40 straight months or whatever it is.

its a continuing tred during the obama administration. release job report, that isnt as bad as it could be. Media talks about how good the economy is doing, how great their lord and savior Obama is doing, getting tingles up their leg. Then a month later, unemployement numbers are revised up. by that time the media doesnt care, doesnt report, and people dont find out.

this happens every time. literaly every time.

 

 

also after reading the first few, and noticing they werent lies, i stopped reading. this list is ridiculous. did you get it from media matters. the list is lies.

There are a few straight-out lies in there, and several exaggerations that should be called out.  For example, 26) “I think about half of [the green firms Obama invested in], of the ones have been invested in have gone out of business. A number of them happened to be owned by people who were contributors to your campaigns,” is a complete lie, and I have no doubt it's an intended lie.

The thing is, the candidates know they can lie on debates because only a small percentage of viewers will see the fact checks the next day.

The problem with lists like in the OP is that partisan organizations pad the "lies" with things that are only lies if you believe highly partisan sources.  That kind of tactic really does them no service and allows others to dismiss the entire list.  Conservative sites will be doing the same elsewhere, have no doubt, and I'm sure we'll see a thread of Obama "lies" pop up soon.  In my opinion, it's much smarter to distribute a list of undeniable lies with trustworthy sourcing.

 

Question on bolded from a non US citizen:

Why do people have to wait for the next day to check facts based off of some site or something? Shouldnt the majority of US citizens know the facts simply by living through the facts??? Or am i missing something here? Its not like they were talking about overly complicated issues or detailed implementation plans...

They should not be able to flat out lie so easily and fool an entire nation. And then ONLY get caught the next day through some fact checking thing!
