How can I tell the difference between Obama lying and doing a flip flop?

Obama lies and says he voted against the war, but he wasn't in office when it started so couldn't have voted for or against it. He says he is against Nuclear Power, but tonight in his speech he says we need look for safe ways to utilize nuclear power. That's a flip flop.

Not really. Those are both alleged political failures. At least Obama's unrealistic visions are of an America less plagued by inequality. Maintaining ignorance and standing firm on questionable ideology does allow McCain to be a bit more consistent. Lying is actually a tactic that neither party will fail to utilize. The only difference is that Obama's are at least promises that would help the American middle class. From John McCain and his pathetic party. they are little more than direct personal attacks empowered and playing off the fears of right wing America. You know the fear that someone who looks different and has a funny name could be just as American as you are.

He hasn't been turn-flopping like you need us to trust. give up spreading pretend advice and do a touch study. operating example, Obama's uncle did unencumber a concentration camp. Your massive declare that Obama lied b/c Russia took over Auschwitz is a uncomplicated mistake on which camp his uncle liberated. each difficulty you've extra up has a reliable answer, yet you at the instantaneous are not searching. operating example, Obama plans on lowering taxes for ninety 5% of people. He actually needs to reinforce taxes again to the position they were contained in the ninety's for the better 3% of people (who pay far too little). Obama hasn't turn-flopped on Iraq, now to not indicate 20 subject matters. McCain's meant gas plan could have 0 result on how a lot you pay or are going to pay for gas. a minimum of Obama needs to cope with the surely subject matters with gas and not in any respect pretending to fix a symptom of the mission.

ask yourself this question would you rather 4 more years of bush or a change .i'll also ad that all politicians lie to some degree but .when you vote for a president .you're voting for someone who'll get this country straighten out/ will end this high unemployment rate/get theese high gas prices down .baraack will do this /but mccain won't because he sees nothing wrong with this country.i say vote for baraack.

He says, "I never said that".

See a flip flop is changing your mind, Obama just flat out lies and says, "I never said that".

Can't wait till everyone thinks they are gonna get these awesome tax breaks from Obama...."I never said that"......

What about Universial Health Care....."I never said that"!.......

aaaah the freshness of it all.

Let’s return, once again, to McCain’s flourishing flip-flop list.

* McCain criticized TV preacher Jerry Falwell as “an agent of intolerance” in 2002, but has since decided to cozy up to the man who said Americans “deserved” the 9/11 attacks. (Indeed, McCain has now hired Falwell’s debate coach.)

* McCain used to oppose Bush’s tax cuts for the very wealthy, but he reversed course in February.

* In 2000, McCain accused Texas businessmen Sam and Charles Wyly of being corrupt, spending “dirty money” to help finance Bush’s presidential campaign. McCain not only filed a complaint against the Wylys for allegedly violating campaign finance law, he also lashed out at them publicly. In April, McCain reached out to the Wylys for support.

* McCain supported a major campaign-finance reform measure that bore his name. In June, he abandoned his own legislation.

* McCain used to think that Grover Norquist was a crook and a corrupt shill for dictators. Then McCain got serious about running for president and began to reconcile with Norquist.

* McCain took a firm line in opposition to torture, and then caved to White House demands.

* McCain gave up on his signature policy issue, campaign-finance reform, and won’t back the same provision he sponsored just a couple of years ago.

* McCain was against presidential candidates campaigning at Bob Jones University before he was for it.

* McCain was anti-ethanol. Now he’s pro-ethanol.

* McCain was both for and against state promotion of the Confederate flag.

* And now he’s both for and against overturning Roe v. Wade.

Now is the time to begin characterizing McCain — accurately — as a man with no principle beliefs. Dems should not only criticize McCain’s constantly evolving opinions on nearly everything, they should openly mock him for it now, so that the storyline becomes second nature (like the GOP did with “serial exaggerator” Al Gore).

He isn't flip floping, flip floping would indicate that he changes his votes, ideas, and opinions often. He has been consistant with all his ideals since before he even was in politics. And he puts his ideas into action, so I sincerely doubt that he is lying.

This seems like the set-up to a joke XD

He is a politician

They are trained in telling their potential voters what they want to hear.

They all do it.

Is there a difference?
