On the foodstamps/welfare and credit card debt.
from the anointed ones own mouth
Democratic National Convention Speech
http://www.demconvention.com/barack-obama/
In the face of that young student who sleeps just three hours before working the night shift,
I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree; who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships.
At group of 300 in Perry (Indiana I believe)
In the candidate's rendering, that phrase "almost normal" refers to the family living a middle-class life until recently, albeit one rich with all the potential that comes when both husband and wife boast degrees from Harvard Law School. As Obama told the 300 Democrats in Perry (population: 7,500), "Five years ago we had just finished paying off our student loans ...
we hadn't been able to set up a college fund for our kids, we had some credit-card [debt] outstanding, we were living in a condo too small for our two kids, I was going grocery shopping, and she was going to Target. She still goes to Target."
so theres your answer
if we can believe Obama.
Lots of contradicting stories as to when food stamps started in Hawaii--also Michele said they paid off student loans- after receiving book royalties paid out in 2005 and 2006--however O listed ?zero? under liabilities in 2004 and in all subsequent U.S. Senate financial disclosure forms.
so whch one was lying? I suspect Obama as he did to Illinois bar when he stated he had never went by another name--when in fact you and I know he has.
So which one is lying?
