Democrat Barack Obama slammed Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin for “lying” about being “mavericks” referring to himself as the true agent of change in the 2008 U.S. Presidential election.

I have to say, it does appear McCain is running with Obama’s shtick regarding creating change in Washington and Palin has taken Hillary’s glass ceiling platform, in a blitzkrieg attempt at winning the election.

Obama: McCain-Palin 'lying' about maverick claims

FARMINGTON HILLS, Michigan (AFP) – Barack Obama ripped into John McCain and Sarah Palin as never before Monday, accusing his Republican White House foes of "shameless" dishonesty with their claim to be "mavericks" ready to shake up Washington.

McCain and Palin were "lying about their records," the Obama campaign said after the Republican running mates advertised themselves in a television spot as the "original mavericks" who would stand up for hard-pressed voters.

Some of the White House race's most savage exchanges yet came as polls showed the contenders deadlocked or McCain pulling into a post-convention lead after he electrified the Republican base -- and appeared to confound the Obama campaign -- by adding Alaska Governor Palin to his ticket.
