President Obama’s lawsuit claims it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state’s early voting period....Romney


‘Obamacare’ puts the federal government between you and your doctor'...Romney


"Obamacare adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt." ...Romney

Eliminating "Obamacare" ... "saves $95 billion a year." ...Romney

Says Barack Obama "never worked in the private sector" before he was elected president....Romney


"This is the slowest job recovery since Hoover."...Romney





"The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me." ...Obama


If the Supreme Court throws out the federal health care law, it "would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress." ...Obama



When President Franklin D. Roosevelt started Social Security, "it only affected widows and orphans," and when Medicare began, "it was a small program."...Obama


Health insurance companies are "making record profits, right now."...Obama



"Right now, an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change."...Obama



"Over the last four years, the deficit has gone up, but 90 percent of that is as a consequence of" President George W. Bush’s policies and the recession. ....Obama

President Obama’s lawsuit claims it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state’s early voting period....Romney

“This lawsuit seeks to treat all Ohio citizens equally under the law,” Yes a lie.


‘Obamacare’ puts the federal government between you and your doctor'...Romney

It is still Government mandated healthcare.


"Obamacare adds trillions to our deficits and to our national debt." ...Romney

The Supreme Court ruled it as a tax; therefore someone is going to have to pay for it.

Eliminating "Obamacare" ... "saves $95 billion a year." ...Romney

When the CBO looked at the first 10 years of repeal, from 2012 to 2021, it found that repeal added $210 billion to the deficit. So the deficit would actually be lower if the law is not repealed. Yes a lie.

Says Barack Obama "never worked in the private sector" before he was elected president....Romney

He worked in construction and an ice cream scooper so I guess this is a lie.

"This is the slowest job recovery since Hoover."...Romney

2nd worst recovery.



"The only time government employment has gone down during a recession has been under me." ...Obama

First year of Reagan it decreased.


If the Supreme Court throws out the federal health care law, it "would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress." ...Obama

Marbury V Madison. This is a lie.

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt started Social Security, "it only affected widows and orphans," and when Medicare began, "it was a small program."...Obama

This is a lie but social security did start off slowly.


Health insurance companies are "making record profits, right now."...Obama

Replace the word record with high and this is a fact.

"Right now, an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change."...Obama

This is just a dumb comment but he was making a point that very few employers face any penalties.


"Over the last four years, the deficit has gone up, but 90 percent of that is as a consequence of" President George W. Bush’s policies and the recession. ....Obama

This is true because he blames the wars, bailout, economic disaster on Bush.



Not really lies just taken out of context.
