Obama attacks Romney on oil tax break remarks he never made
Daily Caller ^ | 10/5/12 | Michael Bastasch

Posted on 10/05/2012 4:21:50 PM PDT by Nachum

President Barack Obama is back on the campaign trail, blasting the “fake” Mitt Romney for false claims he supposedly made during Wednesday night’s presidential debate.

“Last night, my opponent says he refuses to close the loophole that gives big oil companies $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies every year,” Obama said at a Denver campaign event on Thursday. “He ruled out closing the loophole that gives oil companies $4 billion in corporate welfare.”

Obama continued this line of attack at other campaign events as well.

“The guy who was playing Mitt Romney said he refuses to close a loophole that gives big oil companies $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies every single year,” Obama said in Wisconsin on Thursday.

And again at a Friday event in Virginia, Obama claimed Romney said that there is “no way” he’d close loopholes for oil companies.

“He said there’s no way that he’d close the loophole that gives big oil companies billions each year in corporate warfare,” Obama said on Friday.

funny how he never called out Romney not once when Romney called his lies out but now back out there with his sheep he starts to tell his usual lies.

I hope Romney gets this idiot on the next debate and calls his lies out again and states . “Mr President after the last debate you stated to your crowd which does not answer back or question you that I had told lies but you never called me out so again I ask you what lie did I say and why do you feel the need to name call and say this when you will not be caled out or I am not around to question you?’

It would be funny if he did. You know that when theOne gets excited, he has a hard time speaking a sentence unpunctuated with, wh-wh-wh, uh, ahh, I ya, etc. Then, when its Romney’s turn to reply, he could speak deliberately and extra slowly, as if speaking to a very young child. It would help accentuate theOne’s anger.

What I want to know is this: What has happened to the 20 BILLION dollars Obama and his “crew” extorted out of British Petroleum!

Should make Obama wear ear muffs. The gusts of windage coming through one side of his head and exiting the other side are clearly discombobulating him.

Romney said that when spending needs to be cut, this allowance for oil exploration would be “on the table.” And the amount was $2.5 billion, not $4 billion, so he’s lying about that. If it was so terrible, why didn’t Obama get rid of it in his four years at the helm?

“Romney should get a stock response together for these lies,”

Here it is:
“Mr. President, you are a liar. Now, prove me wrong.”

In the face-to-face context of the debates, I think a reprise of “There you go again!” would do nicely.

At the level of press releases, something along the lines of “President Obama has consistently shown that he believes his supporters’ inflated estimates of his oratorical ability, that partisan economic estimates are facts, and that policies that sound good in theory, but have never worked in practice will suddenly work when he tries them. It is hardly surprising that one who dwells in such a fantasy-land will claim that uncomfortable facts are ‘lies’.”

I'm reminded of the Seinfeld episode The Comeback [the "jerk store called" episode]. Obama's thinking up all these "great comebacks" now that he's out from under Romney's pressure.

Between this false attack, the made up $5 trillion dollar tax cut, the murder accusations, the paying no taxes accusations, and the felon accusation, it is clear they have little to run on. It is bottom of the barrel stuff. Very telling.

“Romney can not call obama a “liar” he needs to use another word.”

IT’s time to take the gloves off. Or, should I have said, time to take the mittens off. Yea, politicians got this BS ethics thing going, can’t call one another a “liar”. It’s all BS. Call the guy what he is and let the chips fall where they may.

Also reminds me of the movie Shallow Hal. The character (strangely enough played by the same guy that plays Constanza) says something like you only get 5 seconds for a comeback. Three days delay just loses a bit of the spontaneity.

Next debate remind not just obama but the world that in the middle of the "greatest crisis since the depression"...obama gave brazil TWO BILLION DOLLARS to drill for oil.

That should shut the s.o.b. up.

This ass doesn’t even know what IDC allowance is. It is a accounting function. Romney stated it perfectly, but the idiot in chief is not smart enough to figure it out. The IDC allowance has been around for over 100 years.
