Obama lied - again

speechlesstx · May 27, 2008, 07:24 AM

Or is he just an idiot? He's once again sharing his rewritten Obamacentric version of history.

Quote:

Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

The Soviet army liberated Auschwitz on January 27, 1945.

Besides being a creative liar, Obama is a Gaffe Machine and he gets a pass. As Michelle Malkin notes Dan Quayle still can't live down his misspelling of "potatoe" - in fact, the article I read on Obama's 57 state tour couldn't help but remind us again. What may be most concerning though is he sees dead people:

Quote:

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.

I don't think I want a president with a sixth sense...

Come on Steve, McCain's old but he's not dead yet. He just looks like walking death.

The Democrats stayed on subject with an important issue that's relative to current events. BTW McCain implied that the Iraqi war will continue, as long as it takes, regardless. That's an example of his ideology that I don't agree with him upon.

Well said Bobby. There is a big difference in the relevance between ideas about the future and mistaken stories of the past.

Oh, and forgot to mention, she is a Republican too! What would he meet with her about I'm curious to know??

For clarification; when I said he wants to meet with Chavez I was speaking of Hugo Chavez ;jack-booted dictator of Venezuela .

and if McCain said there were 57 states the Dems would say he has

Since Obama's last visit in '06, maybe he thought that Dubya declared the "United States of Iraq" as part of the election base and divided their country up into seven more states??? Not even Obama's immune to having a Dan Quayle moment.

Obama has at least one Dan Quayle moment a day

It wont affect peoples lives. I dont actually believe McCain wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, but the old man said it so it could be taken that way. He was talking about the future so of course people will use it against him. Obama was referring to the past and even said 'legend has it'.

There is that difference but nevertheless if Obama's past has no bearing on the future why does he talk about it so much? He's using these 'legends' as validation, to gain credibility in areas he's lacking, and over and over again we're finding out they're obviously incorrect, mythological and/or morphing. After 5 years of "Bush lied" why should we turn to someone who himself can't seem to spit out the truth?

For the record i think it is all rubbish including McCain's so called gaffes. Along with Obama he seems like a respectable guy. I dont like some of his policies but as a man he seems honourable. This election has been a real eye opener for a foreigner. It has showed the despicable theatre that is american politics. If Obama's great uncle is a real election issue than i pity the whole process and the electorate.

That's what I like about you Skell, you're a fair guy. I would like to return to more honorable politics, but I'm not sure if honorable has ever been a useful word in describing politics - anywhere. Obama's uncle isn't an issue, but incidents such as this, the Wright controversy, etc. are useful in determining a man's character - and that is an issue. Sure Obama "misspoke" or "misremembered" this time, but trying to discern when he's telling the truth is getting more and more difficult...and when he is obviously candid, it's scary.

This is the double standard in the MSM. Race is the third rail but McCain's age is the punchline for jokes.

Last week McCain's health record was analyzed. Compared to Cheney, who has helped keep the cardiologists busy, McCain is incredibly healthy. I wonder why no one was asking for Obama's health record given that his past drug use
NORML.ORG US IL: Column: Frank Talk About Drug Use In Obama's 'Open Book'
puts him at higher risk for viral hepatitis [ b, c ] as well as hiv.

Has anybody in the MSM questioned Hillary about her most recent mamograms or pap smears. After all she may be at risk for stds via Bill.

As long as Obama doesn't have too many John McCain days, I'll be able to support him.
