Would the tax breaks go to those making under $150k? What about those making between 150 and 200 (or 250k)?

Is there a lie in here somewhere?

Has he changed is tune? Is there a lie in here?

Right now, because of previous agreements, some made by President Clinton, the goods and products that we send to Colombia, which is our largest agricultural importer of our products, is — there’s a billion dollars that we — our businesses have paid so far in order to get our goods in there.

By any meausre, Colombia is not our largest agricultural importer. Canada is, with over $13b per year, per the Department of Agriculture. Canada and Mexico are also ahead in North America, in addition to japan, the EU, China and even indonesia and russia.

The only way this could be considered true is if he meant “in the region”. Colombia IS the largest importer in South America.

Would keeping out this crucial piece of information make this a lie?

OBAMA: And 100 percent, John, of your ads — 100 percent of them have been negative.

MCCAIN: It’s not true.

OBAMA: It absolutely is true.

A quick search yielded this ad, which does not mention Obama, and focuses on McCain’s strengths. CNN and MarketWatch (part of the Wall Street Journal digital network) have also called the claim by Biden and by Obama false.

Perhaps Obama referred to a study by the Wisconsin Advertising Project mentioned on MarketWatch:

Sen. John McCain did go “100% negative” for at least one week during his current campaign for the presidency, a study finds….the Wisconsin Advertising Project says the GOP candidate aired only negative ads for the week of Sept. 28 to Oct. 4…Throughout the entire campaign from June 4 to Oct. 4, 47% of McCain’s ads have been negative, 26% were positive and 27% were a mix. For Obama, the mix has been 35% negative, 39% positive and 25% mixed.

It may be true for 1 week, but without that qualification to say 100% of McCain’s ads have been negative is a lie.

Sen. Obama voted against Justice Breyer and Justice Roberts on the grounds that they didn’t meet his ideological standards. That’s not the way we should judge these nominees. Elections have consequences. They should be judged on their qualifications. And so that’s what I will do.

Justice Stephen Breyer was confirmed to the Supreme Court in 1994, 7 years before Barack Obama was in the Senate. McCain’s lying when he says Obama voted against Breyer’s confirmation.

Thanks for the tips! We’ve marked this a lie and written it up properly!
