Mitt Romney Lies In Florida

Watching CNN, I just saw Mitt Romney speaking to a crowd of people in Florida telling them that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have never held a job in the private sector. Naturally, this is another of Mitt Romney’s lies, just like when he proclaimed he was a lifelong hunter despite the fact that he only hunted small “varmints” twice, or when he said he “saw” his father march with Martin Luther King, even though he never watched his dad’s civil rights activism with his own eyes, or the time he claimed an NRA endorsement that he never won (last three examples from an editorial in the January 30, 2008 edition of The New Republic).

I decided to debunk this by going to Wikipedia. Big as life it says that after he received his B.A. from Columbia University in 1983 Obama worked at Business International Corporation and the New York Public Interests Research Group. Hillary Clinton became a faculty member at the Fayetteville School of Law in 1974. She joined the Rose Law firm in February of 1977 working pro bono in child advocacy.

On behalf of Obama and Clinton, up yours Romney.
