Honesty Ratings Obama vs. Romney

FALSE statement made by Obama:

The president’s proposed budget "will help reduce the deficit by $400 billion over the next decade to the lowest level since Dwight Eisenhower was president."

Besides, what's a $400 Billion cut over 10 years when Obama proposed a deficit of $1.5 Trillion just for 2013 alone?!

FALSE statement made by Obama:

Twelve judges have thrown out legal challenges to the health care law because they rejected "the notion that the health care law was unconstitutional."

So far, all Obama has proven is that he doesn't know how to count, doesn't know how many states make up the United States, and doesn't realize yet that the word "deficit" means debit, not credit.

Not to mention that Obama has absolutely no idea what the word "constitutional" means.

FALSE statement made by Obama:

"The vast majority of the money I got was from small donors all across the country.''

Besides the fact that Politifact says this statement was false because he had big donors donating to his campaign, Obama's 2008 campaign is still being investigated for receiving foreign donations as well as other fraudulent donations.

Yes, Obama lied too

The one thing that totally disqualifies Romney though (and therefore the GOP because they agree with him) is that he believes that "corporations are people (my friend)". That one statement alone proves he's a bought sock puppet, and he's not even hiding it.

And you don't think Obama is bought and paid for by people with more power than him? LOL!

Of course he's bought too. But compared to Romney, who made his entire career as a sellout breaking up companies and firing people, he's much better. And he's not changing his opinions like the wind as Romney does. With Romney you have the impression he would always sell out to the highest bidder...it's not as if he has any ethics or morals given his job history.

Good to see several posts from you citing Politifact!

Great. Now you are starting to understand Politifact and what actual fact checking is. It is not a poll of opinions, not a vehicle for idealogical rhetoric...it is reconsiling facts with statements.

Now that you get Politifact...maybe you understand the OP?

Of a total of 36 statements for Romney, 13 were "pants on fire"...no bit of truth at all to the statement and 23 were true.

Of a total of 91 statements rated from president Obama, 5 were "pants on fire" and 86 were "true"

----------------------------------------------

That gives Romney a 63% truth rating. 37% of his statements are "Pants on fire"

That gives Obama a 95% truth rating and 5% "Pants on fire".
