Some say Obama lies too: snopes.com: Obama's 50 Lies / Obama Not Exactly

That Snopes article debunks the claim that Obama lied as far as I see. If there are some not debunked lies in there please point to them.

Obama said that McCain cannot even google nor send email however the reason he doesn't use a computer is due to a war wound. He has staff that type and research for him. Is it a lie or did Obama just make a mistake?
|
There an
embarrising interview with McCain where he is asked whether he uses Windows or Mac he answers "neither".
1. The fact that McCain has a war wound doesn't in any way make the statement that he doesn't use a computer false.
2. The narrative of the story is right. He lives in a generation that doesn't get the internet and computers.
That's something that matters when it comes issues like software patents and other computer issues.
Electing a president is about getting the person who is most skilled in the job. If someone disability hinders them from doing a job that's a problem.
Lastly you can use a computer through voice recognition software.

1. Obama's not aware that Iran arms both, but it was a McCain mis-statement that McCain corrected immediately. Is that what he's going to do now? Gotcha! "He called his friend 'Joe' instead of 'John.' Are we going to elect a president that can't remember the names of his friends?"

Okay, the author admits that McCain made a
missatement. You can ask whether it fair to repeat a misstatement multiple times but that are the rules of the game.
Everything you say can be used against you.
Whether you think that McCain misstatement matter is a question of judgement but not one of fact.

2. The "endless war" thing is a lie. See here.
|
Then you call the statement that McCain supports a 100 year occupation of Iraq a lie.
Because of the techniquallity that while McCain supports having a base for 100 years in Iraq the word occupation implies that it's not wanted by the citizens and McCain wants to get it supported by Iraqi people.
I think that argument is false and even if it were true that a small techniquality.
The main claim and the narrative is that McCain wants to be in Iraq for the next 100 years and that's right.

3. Try to associate McCain and Bush.

What's a lie about wanting to associate McCain with Bush?
That a totally different thing than the kind of lies McCain tells.
