As our two major presidential candidates sprint to the finish line, President Obama has decided to attack Mitt Romney on the basis that Romney will not keep his promises and will say anything to get elected.
This is an audacious claim from a president who has left in his wake a very long string of broken promises. As for saying anything to get elected, Obama proved his own willingness to prevaricate at the end of the second presidential debate when he told the American people three obvious lies: One, he believes in the free enterprise system; two, he believes in self-reliance; three, he thinks people should be rewarded for their hard work.
Obama's past rhetoric and his present policies expose the hollowness of these so-called beliefs.

Name a policy, any policy, on which Romney has maintained a consistent position over the years?
Sorry, Steve. The President has been telling the truth about Romney. Romney DOES break promises if they get in his way, and he DOES say anything he thins it will take to get votes, even if it's 180 degress opposite from what he's said More..
