Barack Obama was busted in overt lies, by The Daily Caller, twice in the same article.
First lie: "I got outspent when I ran [the] first time for Senate."
FACT:
The Federal Election Committee’s website shows that Obama’s campaign claimed $14,807,432 in donations by December 2004.
In contrast, his opponent, Alan Keyes, had only $2,545,325, according to the FEC.
That’s a six-fold advantage for Obama, not a deficit.
Second Lie: "The thing that I want everybody here to understand – each of you personally — is that back in 2008, everybody said we couldn’t do it because we were outspent."
FACT:
During the 2008 race, Obama raised $779 million. His GOP rival, Sen. John McCain, raised less than half as much, or $347 million.
In the Democratic primary, Obama raised $237 million, while his rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton, raised $229 million.
One might understand the panic Obama is feeling as the fundraising numbers for June are released where Mitt Romney, for the second month in a row, has brought in more than Obama in the month of June.
$35 million more than Obama.
Lying to the American people when it is so easy to prove those statements as lies, reeks of desperation on the part of Obama.
