Shock of the Century: Politicians Lie

Obama Forgets That He Is Holier-Than-Thou

In the biggest shocker of this presidential election, Obama has resorted to something no one thought him capable of: lying. College students nation-wide, when asked for comment, met the report with a blank look followed by a spluttering denial that had no substance or merit and was promptly ignored.

McCain's campaign had been previously denounced by the Obama camp and in the press for making outright lies about Obama recommending sex education for kindergartners. Obama himself acknowledged the dirty play, but as his campaign is upheld by the ideal of "a different kind of politics," his supporters like to deny he would ever respond to these attacks like a typical politician. However, anyone with half a brain is not surprised that Obama's campaign launched ads that posited McCain was against stem cell research and implied he only wanted tax breaks for oil companies, despite McCain being an advocate for federal funding for stem cell research and supporting tax breaks that would benefit all energy companies, including those that support wind and solar energy.

In short, Obama is acting like a politician. Commence the nation being shocked to its core.
