Obama:

1) Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval

2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did

3) Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn't have any

4) Has close ties to Wall St., but pretends to support Occupy Wall St.

5) Broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay

6) Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush

7) Waged the biggest war against medical marijuana of any president, which was the opposite of what he had promised

8) Nominated a six-time tax cheater to head the government agency that enforces the tax laws

9) Gave tax dollars to AIG executives, then pretended to be outraged about it



12) Increased the national debt more in one term than Bush did in two



17) Ordered private company to fire 1,000 employees

In 2011, after Boeing had hired 1,000 new employees to work at its new factory in South Carolina, the Obama administration ordered Boeing to shut down the factory, because the factory was non-union.



18) Stole money from retired teachers and police officers

19) Supported release of convicted mass murderer

In 2010, Obama supported releasing Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi (who had been convicted of murdering 270 people) from prison.

20) Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals

In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun storeowners to illegally sell thousands of guns to criminals.

It's not a controversial claim Raz.

True.  It isn't any more controversial than the claim that, on Aug 14, 2011, he went to the bathroom without congressional approval.

If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period.

This one is turning out to be quite a whopper.

Yeah.  Not a devastating lie, like "mission accomplished," but more stupid on the face of it than "read my lips:  no new taxes."

I think Obama's gaffe is getting a lot of mileage mostly because we're in a down news cycle and because it's amplified by the Obamacare.gov fuckup.

The actual number of health plans that his original statement doesn't apply to is pretty small.

I thought I heard upwards of 15 million people affected.

The radio (NPR).  Actually I think that was just the number of people who bought their own policies prior to Obamacare.  Something like half to 75% of them may lose their policies.

On the one hand 8 million people is rounding error, on the other it's too big to sweep under the political rug.
