Barack Obama falsely claims new mandated fuel standard will save families $8000 per year - YouTube

And that stupid, smirky laugh makes me want to puke!
I'm amazed at the number of people that applauded that statement because in order for it to be true, one would have had to be spending $16,000 a year on gas..

And Obama has the nerve to say Romney is out of touch with the real americans..

Probably not - the pseudo-quotes and charts are pretty obviously rigged, so there's little use in using them to address reality. There are obvious switches - the rightmost charts have no relevance to anything, neither does the top left, and the bottom left is taking a phrase that's so vague as to be meaningless.

It's always fun to watch another numbers person manipulate a chart, though, which is clearly what's happening here.

Pseudo quotes? You're kidding right?

We've heard Obama and Biden (not to mention his operatives) say those very things repeatedly. Bill Clinton even said them at the DNC.

If you THINK investors.com "rigged' it's analysis, then that's what this thread is for......take the ones you feel they "rigged" and show us how you think they are wrong.

Good luck with that....you'll need it!

Why should this make someone want to vote for Romney, who isn't any better?

Obama falsely claims no GOP Senators voted for payroll tax cut - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com

On Monday, President Obama falsely claimed that no Republicans in the Senate voted for the payroll tax cut.
“Virtually every Senate Republican voted against the tax cut last week,” he told reporters.
There's only one huge problem.
The statement is completely false.
According to the Senate Roll Call, twenty Republicans voted for the measure to proceed, including Idaho's Mike Crapo and James Risch.
On the other hand, every Democrat but one voted against it, including Washington's Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. Only John Kerry (D-MA) did not vote. Not one single Democrat voted for cloture.
Nevertheless, Obama took to the podium to falsely declare just the opposite.





But the Dems just eat this stuff up and use it to argue their points claiming Reps clogging up the works in ongress- Ha!

Maybe next time he'll do better.


Barack Hussein Obama had both houses, his relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care, Americans are just starting to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community.

He had a golden opportunity to really ' DO SOMETHING ' like the economy, fuel
prices, securing the U.S. - Mexican border. His Character and his Policies have dictated his fate !

"Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Barack Hussein Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured,
but people don't have to prove they are citizens."

He also has to be accountable for his merry little band of incompetent secretaries and czars.

His renaming of the slaughter at Fort Hood is a clear indication of his mindset

Will Barack Hussein Obama ever accept responsibility for something... - anything?

And it's not Obama's fault that the GOP chose an incompetent candidate.

Obama or Romney. Either way, we lose.
