The Obama Campaign Accused Romney Of Shipping Jobs Overseas While At Bain Capital. That has been DEBUNKED by Factcheck.org
President Obama Falsely Claimed Obamacare Was "Absolutely Not A Tax Increase"
The court ruled 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the majority, that the mandate is unconstitutional under the Constitution's commerce clause, but it can stay as part of Congress's power under a taxing clause. ...The Obama Campaign Has Claimed The Federal Program That Awarded Solyndra's Loan Guarantee Was Established Under President Bush.
- The Washington Post's Fact Checker: "The President Should Accept Responsibility, Not Shirk It" For Giving Solyndra Its Loan. "The administration is straining too hard to reverse that aphorism — ie, saying the failure of Solyndra has a thousand fathers. While the original law may have set up the loan guarantee program, Solyndra received its loan through an expansion of that program that the administration was quick to take credit for. ... We find it hard to believe that any reasonable person could interpret Obama's remarks this week as anything but a distinct effort to put the blame for Solyndra in some one else's pocket. The president should accept responsibility, not shirk it." (Glenn Kessler, "Obama's Solyndra Shuffle," The Washington Post, 3/23/12)
President Obama Claimed That, "For The First Time Since 1990, American Manufacturers Are Creating New Jobs."

The Obama Campaign Accused Romney Of Outsourcing Call Center Jobs To India As Governor. "A new ad from the Obama campaign takes aim at Mitt Romney's performance as governor of Massachusetts...

(Robert Farley, Lori Robertson, And Eugene Kiely, "Obama Twists Romney's Economic Record," FactCheck.org, 6/7/12)

(Robert Farley, Lori Robertson, And Eugene Kiely, "Obama Twists Romney's Economic Record," FactCheck.org, 6/7/12)
"The State Debt Grew By Less Than It Did In A Similar Time Period Before Romney Was Sworn In." "So, the increase under Romney isn't exactly startling news. If anything, it could be argued that the state debt grew by less than it did in a similar time period before Romney was sworn in. 'It's pretty much standard operating procedure that the amount of debt we issue grows at a reasonable rate from year to year,' for roads, bridges, prisons, etc., said Widmer, of the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.

I can't believe you researched these.

I mean, if "Obama said Romney would do this" is a lie, I can counter w/ 100 from Trump. The things he has said Dems would do - create a Depression, start WWIII, et al.
