6. He misplaced his "comfy shoes."
During a 2007 campaign speech in Spartanburg, South Carolina, then-Senator Obama told supporters he would fight for collective bargaining rights if he was elected president.

“And understand this: If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I’m in the White House, I’ll put on a put on a comfortable pair of shoes myself. I’ll walk on that picket line with you as president of the United States.”


Then after the fact the argument was, "He can't get involved in the Unions/States fight. It's a State issue." There's always an excuse. He just flat-out lied.
