One of the comments that Barack Obama often makes on the campaign trail is that he will cut taxes for 95% of Americans.

Sounds great, but it’s not true. In reality, only 81% are included and many “tax cuts” are actually government checks for people who don’t pay income taxes, according to the New York Post.

The article also reveals some other Greatest Hits on the Obama campaign trail:

  • Obama claims he never voted to raise taxes on people making as little as $42,000.
    Truth: Obama voted on a nonbinding budget resolution to do so.

  • Obama claims all of his proposals are paid for.
    Truth: The Obama Plans would add $3.5 trillion to the national debt by 2018.

  • Obama claims he will reform the pork process.
    Truth: He has asked for just shy of $1 billion in pork for Illinois since entering the Senate.

I guess he lies with such ease, because the mainstream media doesn’t challenge him.

Empty promises, empty suit.
