On Friday, Obama was talking to a crowd of Democrats in Erie, Pa., and he tossed some rocks at McCain that instantly got the crowd booing McCain's alleged comments. Obama said this about his opponent, "John McCain yesterday said that we are, that, that during George Bush's tenure, the economy actually made great progress,” Obama said. “That's his quote!”

These words make McCain sound totally out of touch, but now take a look at what McCain actually said about the economy:

Peter Cook (Bloomberg TV): Do you think that when Americans are asked, “Are you better off today than before George Bush took office over seven years ago,” what will their answer be?

McCain: Certainly at this time we are in very challenging times. We all recognize that. Families are sitting around the kitchen table this evening and figuring out whether they’re going to be able to keep their home or not. They’re figuring out why it is that someone in their family or their neighbor has lost their job. There’s no doubt that we are in enormous difficulties. I think if you look at the overall record and millions of jobs having been created, et cetera, et cetera, you could make an argument that there’s been great progress economically over that period of time. But that’s no comfort. That’s no comfort to families now that are facing these tremendous economic challenges.

What Obama claims is about as close to reality as Hillary's sniper fire comment, and I’m calling this one a big lie for political advantage. This is nothing new in political campaigns of course, but we caught Obama deliberately misrepresenting the truth to make McCain look foolish and for that low blow he should be held accountable!
