Obama tries to change who he is to get elected

As all liberals have to do to get elected to national office, Obama is trying to say he cut welfare (which he didn't) and trying to say he "worked his way through college" I guess in an attempt to show he has the work ethic that doesn't need handouts...

Well, here is the truth..

Obama’s latest ad repeats an often-stated claim, saying he "worked his way through college and Harvard Law.” We know Obama took out loans to get himself through school. But the campaign provided information on just two jobs Obama had in those years, and they were both in the summer.

The ad also says he "passed a law to move people from welfare to work, slashed the rolls by 80 percent." Actually, the Illinois law was a required follow-up to the 1996 federal welfare reform law worked out by President Clinton and the Republican Congress. Welfare rolls did go down by nearly as much as the ad says, but Obama can't claim sole credit.
