Hillary isn't the only whopper teller

I heard Obama-Llama on the radio talking about the tax cuts that "only benefitted the wealthy". Since we have to check up on everything Hillary says, I suspicioned that maybe we need to check up on Barry as well - after all, they are both liberals.

Sooo, I googled the 1998 tax tables so I could compare pre-tax cut with the post-tax cut tax tables of today. Looking at " married filing jointly", because that's what most of us are, here is what I found;

Taxable Income 1998 Taxes 2007 Taxes
$5000 $754 $503
$10,000 $1504 $1003
$15,000 $2254 $1503
$20,000 $3004 $2221
$30,000 $4504 $3721
$40,000 $6004 $5221
$50,000 $8502 $6721
$99,000 $22,222 $17,604

The FACTS show that the tax cut that supposedly "only benefitted the wealthy" cut the taxes of the lowest brackets by 33%! How can you cut a group's tax rate by 1/3 but not give them any benefit from it? Making comments like this is where he gets his "integrity"? :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

Thanks for going to the trouble to check that out, Sandhusker. More of that divisive class envy bullsht from the Dems. They don't care that it's not true - as long as it works to get them votes.

"Erred"? He "erred"? :lol:

Sounds a lot like Hillary's LIES to me. Must be a course they have to take to be a Democrat - 'How to Lie About Meaningless Crap and Have the Liberal Sheep Believe It'.

If they'll lie about the little things that don't matter, wonder what else they'll lie about?

Aide says Obama erred on Kennedy tie

By Michael Dobbs
Washington Post / March 30, 2008

WASHINGTON -
Addressing civil rights activists in Selma, Ala., a year ago, Senator Barack Obama traced his "very existence" to the generosity of the Kennedy family, which he said paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and thus meet his Kansan mother.

The Camelot connection has become part of the mythology surrounding Obama's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. After Caroline Kennedy endorsed his candidacy in January, Newsweek commentator Jonathan Alter reported that she had been struck by the extraordinary way in which "history replays itself" and by how "two generations of two families - separated by distance, culture, and wealth - can intersect in strange and wonderful ways."

It is a touching story, but the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified. Contrary to Obama's claims in speeches in January at American University and in Selma last year, the Kennedy family didn't fund a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama's father.

According to historical records and interviews with participants, the Kennedys were first approached for support for the program nearly a year later, in July 1960. The family responded with a $100,000 donation, most of which went to pay for a second airlift in September 1960.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton acknowledged yesterday that the senator from Illinois had erred in crediting the Kennedy family with a role in his father's arrival in the United States. He said the Kennedy involvement in the Kenya student program apparently "started 48 years ago, not 49 years ago as Obama has mistakenly suggested in the past."

In his speech commemorating the 42d anniversary of the Selma civil rights march, Senator Obama linked his father's arrival in the United States with the turmoil of the civil rights movement.

Although the airlift occurred before John Kennedy became president, Obama said that "folks in the White House" around President Kennedy were looking for ways to counter charges of hypocrisy and "win hearts and minds all across the world" at a time when America was "battling communism."

"So the Kennedys decided 'we're going to do an airlift,' " Obama continued. " 'We're going to go to Africa and start bringing young Africans over to this country and give them scholarships to study so they can learn what a wonderful country America is.' " His father, he said, got one of the tickets.

A more accurate version of the story would begin not with the Kennedys but with a Kenyan nationalist leader named Tom Mboya, who traveled to the United States in 1959 and 1960 to persuade thousands of Americans to support his efforts to educate a new African elite. Mboya did not approach the Kennedys for financial support until Obama Sr. was already studying in Hawaii.

During his 1959 trip to the United States, Mboya, 29, raised enough money for scholarships for 81 young Kenyans, including Obama Sr., with the help of the African-American Students Foundation.

Stephen Plotkin, an archivist at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, said a search of the records did not turn up any evidence that the Kennedys supported the airlift.

Obama had greater role on liberal survey
By KENNETH P. VOGEL

During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion — positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he has projected during his presidential campaign.

The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group’s detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his 1996 bid for a state Senate seat.

Late last year, in response to a Politico story about Obama’s answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he “never saw or approved” the questionnaire.

They asserted the responses were filled out by a campaign aide who “unintentionally mischaracterize[d] his position.”

But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago nonprofit group that issued it. And it 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.
