Of course that guy paid his tuition - it was a taxpayer subsidized low tuition. Obama paid his tuition, and it was also taxpayer subsidized As far as your claim that Obama has been on the publics dime since the day he was born - that's bunk.

Context matters and it substantially changes the thrust of those four words - but don't let accuracy get in the way of a good political rant.

Seems like Comet is posting any items he can find where idiots are buying the lie he and Romney are pushing. Wonder why?

It changes it very little and what little it does change it, makes it worse. Unless you have your head up Obama's ass.

Regardless, no one is going to memorize and repeat a whole paragraph over and over again.

Only ignorant people buy this nonsense. The entire speech had a context and the right takes one line out. They did it before when they took the line where Obama was talking about when McCain said if we talk about the economy we will lose. The took Obama saying what McCain had said cut off the part about McCain and claimed it was Obama's comments. They have to lie to gain converts and you can always count on stupid people,

Only ignorant people refuse to see the truth and understand english. No one is going to memorize and repeat an entire paragraph. The entire speech had context and the context makes the singular quote even worse, if it even changes the meaning at all.

There is no lie.

It changes it considerably, and it's not because my head's up Obama's ass. Politifact makes the same points.
