The war of words is getting to new heights in the 2012 election. We know all politicians lie to get elected, but which presidential candidate is worse: Mitt Romney or Barack Obama?
FOXNEWS.COM reports:
FOXNEWS.COM reports:
The battle between President Obama and Mitt Romney reached new levels of rancor Thursday, with each campaign accusing the other of lying over Romney's tenure at private-equity firm Bain Capital.

He got FOUR for the Bain issue alone.
Why would anyone care more abuot Romney's personal money than the money being spent and borrowed by US, the taxpaying American citizen?
These issues should fizzle out, Romney's tax returns have been filed.
Our politicians and the POTUS have been spending TRILLIONS of dollars a year plus, money we dont have.
Obama spent 4 times more than Mitt Romney's personal wealth in his last election and will spend another BILLION this year.
Individual Contributions $878,897,235
PAC Contributions $1,329,353
Candidate self-financing $12,606
Other $176,795,967
Your suggestion of creative bookkeeping is not even funny.
Like I said, your concern over Romney's millions is a wate of America's time, when we have a POTUS spending our trillions and borrowing more in our name.
The difference is that no one cared about John Kerry's, the Kennedy's or anyone else personal wealth, unless of course, the campaign strategy is to knock down ROmney because he wealthy instead of discussing the real issues, Obama's economic record and the detrimental effects is has on our nation.
Total Receipts: $1,057,035,160
Total Spent: $931,537,419
Look up Romney's campaign finance numbers instead of speculating or "being relatively sure". You'll see he hasn't come close to Obama's spending. How much was the Obama's 2008 1/2 hour commercial? $433 million. Look up all the details, breakdowns, charts, endorsements from the official legal forms are available for every politician, every race. Voting records, Pacs, top industries, bundlers, unions, etc.
Big Deal? Romney's always had money, his father and his before worked for what is theirs. He donated his inheritance to an educational foundation charity and medical research and he created his own money too, of which he donated millions for the needy. He knows health care reform (the good and bad along with the unexpected repercussions and financial underestimates), his wife has MS, he understands disabled trust me, the elevator is necessary or they'd have to move.
When was the last time you put your house up for collateral on a business plan?
Have you ever not taken a salary for six months to ensure your employees get paid and the business survives? He empl...

Have you ever not taken a salary for six months to ensure your employees get paid and the business survives? He employed people from all skill sets and abilities, "classes" is so divisive.
Are you kidding me about the NASCAR friends? Really?
Obama's friends are OK with you right?
*Tony Rezco (arms dealer, slumlord who got money to build and repair, but didn't, helped Rep. Obama buy his home and adjoining property)
*Bernadine Dohrn and Bill Ayers (fugitives, domestic terrorists bombers /murders)
*Rev Wright, pastor, mentor, insiration religious ADVISOR (black liberation theology-look it up)
*Van Jones, Communist- bundler and recipient of tax dollars for radicalizing and perpetuating a sense of race/class revolution
*Frank Marshall Davis- Communist, a man on a watch list fbi, cia, et al.
*Jessee Jackson Jr. and Rod Blogoveich, buying Senate seats
Yes, Obama's fundraising is slow but it will pick up when he puts out another edict like his recent EO's or his recent refusal to enforce our laws while endangering our security. He'll pander to get the gullible or buy votes with more borrowed money.
Obama has demeaned our veterans, voted against funding them while in harm's way, and has classified all veterans care reports across the nation after two seperate devastating PA and VA newspaper investigations came to light in Aug/Sept 2009 by EO.
I have rich successful friends and do not envy them, I'm not jealous of their good fortune. I also have friends who are struggling to keep the lights on and when I can I help them.
Big governemnt is drowning us, every possible tax I pay has been increased in the last 3.5 years! Every one, except the paltry SS Med funding (payroll tax) which means less money in my SS account. You too.
I can't beliebe how much they complain about Romney's private money while Obama is spending our tax dollars like a kid in a candy shop.
Romney's millions are miniscule to those who support Obama and their many Obama contributions which are in the millions.
Where is the evidence of this?
Obama has several PAC's. One Obama super PAC is named The Bridge, ironically they are the ones who set up the campaign stumps in front of two bridges, both bridge projects were outsourced to foreign companies hiring their foreign workers within the US. Yes, Chinese firms working in America with imported Chinese employees, instead of Americans.
Infrastructure jobs, Obama has discussed this in his 2008 campaign, now again in his 2012 campaign. It comes as no sursprise that Charlie Rangel and Robert Reich want to come up with a new formula on WHO to hire, "no highly skilled or white construction workers."
Not everyone has been given a sound education in budgets, saving and spending for wants vs needs and far to many people do not plan on LIFE happening, like a job loss, death, or divorce, etc.
I give because that's what I was raised to do, help those less fortunate than myself. Of course, there is a limited amount of help, it's more than financial. The people I help are kids whose family sucks and I teach them the things they need like the value of education, respect, trust, honor, etc
The payback is that they don't become another statistic, but go on to college, getting a good job, and learning a great thing like being a parent and cooking family dinner.
The Illinois State Archives told Judicial Watch that they never received any request from Senator Obama to archive any records in his possession.
In 2007, Obama told Tim Russert that his records were “not kept.”
Here is the transcript of Meet The Press 11/11/2007 interview:
MR. RUSSERT: You talked about Senator Clinton having records released from the Clinton Library regarding her experience as first lady, and yet when you were asked about, “What about eight years in the state senate of Illinois,” you said, “I don’t know.” Where, where are the—where are your records?
SEN. OBAMA: Tim, we did not keep those records. I...
MR. RUSSERT: Are they gone?
SEN. OBAMA: Well, let’s be clear. In the state senate, every single piece of information, every document related to state government was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is available and has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb by news outlets in Illinois. The, the stuff that I did not keep has to do with, for example, my schedule. I didn’t have a schedule. I was a state senator. I wasn’t intending to have the Barack Obama State Senate Library. I didn’t have 50 or 500 people ...

MR. RUSSERT: But your meetings with lobbyists and so forth, there’s no record of that?
SEN. OBAMA: I did not have a scheduler, but, as I said, every document related to my interactions with government is available right now. And, as I said, news outlets have already looked at them.
MR. RUSSERT: Is your schedule available anywhere? Are—the records exist?
SEN. OBAMA: I—Tim, I kept my own schedule. I didn’t have a scheduler.
MR. RUSSERT: Senator Durbin, your colleague, publishes his schedule each day. Would you do that?
SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, these days I have a public presidential schedule that I think everybody has access to.
MR. RUSSERT: Tony Rezko, who is he?
SEN. OBAMA: He is a developer in Illinois. He was a friend of mine for, for over 10 years. He was, he was a supporter of Democrats and Republicans back in Illinois. He was indicted recently for issues completely unrelated to me, but obviously it’s a source of concern because he’s not only a friend but also a supporter of my campaign.
MR. RUSSERT: It appears that he raised or contributed about $168,000 for you over the course of your
