Lots of heat (and some light) on Obama's spending

Crossroads GPS

Obama's programs have helped relatively few

Says Obama broke his promise to help homeowners facing foreclosure.

Chris Christie

Pure nonsense

Says Democratic legislators this year "don't want to cut your taxes under any circumstances."

American Future Fund

It's more like Romney's Wall Street in 2012

"Obama’s flush with cash, returning to Wall Street for even more money. … Wall Street sure supports President Obama."

Promise: Create a Homeowner Obligation Made Explicit (HOME) score for mortgage comparisons

Update: New standards included in Dodd-Frank

Barack Obama

UPDATE: Based on outdated GOP plan

Says under Mitt Romney, "Medicare could end as we know it, leaving Julia with nothing but a voucher to buy insurance, which means $6,350 extra per year for a similar plan."

Shelley Adler

Vote to cut funding, not end program

Says Jon Runyan voted to "end programs to aid homeless veterans."

Facebook posts

Surprise! Viral post is basically right

Says Mitt Romney is wrong to claim that spending under Obama has "accelerated at a pace without precedent in recent history," because it's actually risen "slower than at any time in nearly 60 years."

Gilberto Hinojosa

Less than half, actually

Says "large majority" of Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim and not U.S.-born.

Brendan Doherty

Deadly spending

"Over the past five years the federal government has paid out $601 million in retirement and disability benefits to deceased former federal employees."

Mitt Romney

"Debt" vs. debt

National debt plus unfunded liabilities adds up to $520,000 per American household.

This claim is DOA

Says President Obama "promised" people could keep their health plans, but "millions could lose their health care coverage and be forced into a government pool."

U.S. Chamber of Commerce

This one again?

"Obamacare could cause 20 million people to lose their current coverage."

Mitt Romney

Spending increased by about 5 percent a year on his watch

When Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, "we didn’t just slow the rate of growth of our government, we actually cut it."

Cory Booker

Numbers back this statement

Says New Jersey’s prison system is "61 percent African-American even though our state is just 13 percent black."

Jim Renacci

Slowing growth not the same as gutting

Betty Sutton "gutted Medicare by $500 billion" with her vote for the president's health care bill.

Mitt Romney

Supported "stimulus," not "the stimulus"

On President Barack Obama’s stimulus

Mitt Romney

His view has been nuanced and consistent

On the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)

Mitt Romney

In his current rhetoric, no sign of earlier support for restrictions

On gun policy

U.S. Chamber of Commerce

What about those other judges?

"A Florida judge ruled parts of Obamacare unconstitutional."

Crossroads GPS

Taxes on tanning and smoking

President Obama "promised" families making less than $250,000 a year would not see taxes go up, but "Obamacare raises 18 different taxes."
