rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks
VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real
estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your
property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it
that you can’t afford, saving you $625,000.
54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko (first $66K,
then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it’s
$250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you,
Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.
56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your
wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge.
You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK -
that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also
connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people
in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before
Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over
by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during
your Mea Culpa BS speech you said “Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is
the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked
into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate
Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments
perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William
Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at
Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel.
PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren’t there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for
you.
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008] You and your campaign buddy Penny
SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103
from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from
Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup,
$4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama
received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they
had was a dream, eh?
64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - LIAR -
[03/31/2008] It was found that Obama — the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the
questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had
greater role on liberal survey
65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first to play the race card. According to
Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev.
Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic primary campaign. Obama and his
surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order
to label Obama the “black” candidate. Read more here
66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]

67) “I don’t think my church is actually particularly controversial,” Obama said at a community meeting in
Nelsonville, Ohio, earlier this month. - LIAR - But yesterday, he told a different story. “Did I ever hear him make
remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes,” he said in his speech yesterday in
Philadelphia.
68) Look at my education record in Illinois - LIAR - In reality, Obama never really championed the local councils. He
supported them behind the scenes and only eventually came out publicly on their behalf. When he did weigh in, he
came down on the wrong side of the debate—against protecting principals from unwarranted dismissals and in favor
of keeping councils independent, no matter what. In the end, the resolution of the conflict between the two sides didn’
t alleviate anyone’s concerns. Instead, it prolonged a turf battle that seems to have dragged down academic progress
in the years since. Read more here http://www.slate.com/id/2188010?wpisrc=newsletter

69) “I stopped smoking. I stopped smoking. I haven’t had a cigarette since I quit - LIAR - But in his own words, here
is what Obama said. Except….last night on MSNBC’s Hardball, Obama admitted that his attempt to wean himself from
the vile tobacco weed had not been entirely successful. I fell off the wagon a couple times during the course of it, and
then was able to get back on,” he said. “But it is a struggle like everything else.”

70) I did not campaign in Florida, (so Florida vote shouldn’t count) - LIAR -According to Boston Globe, HeraldTribune
and other sites, Obama airs “ads” on Cable stations in Florida. Even with the Florida cable ads, Obama still lost.

71) Obama distort (aka “Lie”) about McCain saying, “McCain (he) is willing to send our troops too another war of
100 years in Iraq”. Obama also denied what he said on the video - LIAR - The video proves him absolutely untruthful
(”a liar”).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-cXV4Z2Hrg
72) Obama on Guns - when Obama ran for the Illinois state senate the political group, Independent Voters of Illinois
(IVI), asked him if he supported a “ban [on] the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns” and he responded
“yes.” - LIAR- But in what will probably be the most improbable change, the Politico reported on Saturday that Barack
Obama was making a big play for gun votes in Pennsylvania. In 1998, another questionnaire administered by IL State
Legislative National Political Awareness Test didn’t ask about banning all handguns, but it did find that Obama wanted
to “ban the sale or transfer of all forms of semi-automatic weapons.” Source: Fox News and Politico.com
73) Here is what Obama now said he meant about comment he made about Small town PA - “So I said, ‘Well, you
know, when you’re bitter you turn to what you can count on,’ ” he continued. “So people they vote about guns, or they
take comfort from their faith and their family and their community. And they get mad about illegal immigrants who are
coming over to this country or they get frustrated about, you know, how things are changing. That’s a natural
response.” - LIAR - See what Obama really meant in red. It does not take high school student to understand what
Obama meant - “You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs
have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and
the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna
regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to
people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
74) “I did not recall meeting Nadhmi Auchi at any time or on any occasion” - LIAR - But a government witness said on
Monday, during Antoin Rezko’s corruption trial, that he recalled seeing Sen. Barack Obama at a party that Rezko held
in 2004 to honor Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born tycoon. Two other guests at the party declared the Obamas were
present at the event, which took place one week before Obama won his U.S. Senate seat.

75) “I did not take money from oil companies” -LIAR- It is against the law to take money from oil companies. None of
your opponents take money from oil companies either.
76) “I am the only candidate who isn’t taking a dime from Washington lobbyist” - LIAR- The record shows quite the
opposite. According to USA Today, Obama’s campaign fundraising team includes 38 members of law firms that were
paid $138 million last year to lobby the federal government, records show. Those lawyers, including 10 former
federal lobbyists, have pledged to raise at least $3.5 million for the Illinois senator’s presidential race. Employees of
their firms have given Obama’s campaign $2.26 million, a USA TODAY analysis of campaign finance data shows.

THE FACTS:
True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give
money to politicians. Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect voluntary donations from
employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama doesn’t take money from PACs. He also doesn’t take money
from lobbyists.
But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies and two of his fundraisers are oil
company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obama’s presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas
industry employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the
likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the center’s totals.
Two of Obama’s fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission
Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co. Source: Associated
