Obama’s “46 Lies” - Claim 20: Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill
As discussed in “Obama’s “46 Lies” - True or false?“, I want to look into many of Barack Obama’s supposed lies and figure out if they are in fact truly lies or just simply an attempt to throw dirt at him.
Now I will look at claim 20:
20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill - LIAR, you didn’t write it,introduce it, change it, or create it.
Once again, Obama did not lie. Please checkout Daily Kos for details - it’s way too detailed to corroborate here. Money quote:
It just so happens that Barack Obama played a big role in getting ethics reform done.
The summary says it all:
These votes are just one concrete example of how what Obama says is actually backed up by his record — he isn’t just running against the DC Establishment, he actually voted against DC insider club rules.
So now I have looked at two claims that Obama lied, and both claims turned out to be lies - it’s not a very impressive list so far.

[…] Obama’s campaign was about “change”. His opponents accused him of having only a vague idea of what he wants to change - but if you go to his website, you will find detailed policy proposals for pretty much every policy area. Furthermore, if you look at his short career in the senate, you will find a few very interesting pieces of legislation he sponsored, including one that he sponsored together with Republican Tom Coburn and a certain gentleman named John McCain: The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006. Bills like this give me hope that he truly can reach beyond the aisle and get Congress to work together on the issues many of us agree on (balancing the budget and revamping the education system would be my two priorities for Congress). I have also blogged on his involvement in the Ethics bill here. His track record does indeed support his claim to know what kind of change he is calling for. […]
