This one's good too: Let's Talk About Lies:
Romney can say something to the effect of "let's talk about lies" and explain that breaking a promise is a definition for lying. He can then rattle off five or six instances when Obama and his administration have broken promises to the American people.
Romney can say things like:
The president promised America that his $800-billion stimulus package wouldn't ship jobs overseas. Instead, ABC News reported that 80% of stimulus money spent on wind power went to foreign firms...including some in China.
The president promised America that if his stimulus package passed, unemployment would never be over 8%. Instead, since the president took office, we haven't seen the underside of 8% unemployment until several days ago when, after so many people have given up hope and stopped looking for work, the number dropped to 7.8%.
The president promised America that he would cut a $1.3-trillion deficit in half by his first term. Instead, he has added $1 trillion to the deficit every year he has been in office.
The president promised America that ObamaCare would reduce health care costs. Instead, ObamaCare has raised insurance premiums by $800 to $1,400, although some people have gotten a rebate from the insurance companies...of about $150.
The president promised that he wouldn't allow any tax increase of any kind on those making less than $250,000. Instead, ObamaCare is the largest tax increase in U.S. history. In fact, there are at least 20 new or higher taxes on American families and small businesses under ObamaCare. These taxes will destroy -- not create, but destroy -- jobs. That is yet another broken promise.
The president promised America that he would stop the influence of cronyism -- of "well-connected friends and high-priced lobbyists," as he put it. Instead, in his first three years in office, we saw more than $1.5 billion more in spending by lobbyists than in the previous three years.
The president promised America he would and will invest revenue (which means he will spend your tax dollars or borrow money from China) to grow green companies. Instead, 80% of the time, the green energy loans went to backers of the president. This is simply cronyism. And the companies he spends your money on don't even grow; they go bankrupt time and timeagain! He loses jobs as fast as he "creates" them. Two steps "Forward!" and three steps backward is not progress by any rational definition.
The president promised America to make the borders safe. Instead, the DOJ oversaw Operation Fast and Furious, where thousands of guns went untracked to drug cartels in Mexico, killing Americans as well as Mexicans.
The president promised America transparency. Instead, after months of congressional investigations being stonewalled by the DOJ and Attorney General Eric Holder, the president finally took action...and promptly covered it up. He invoked executive privilege to keep the documents away from the light of Congress. ...
