Obama Caught In a Major Lie In Very First Election Ad
« on: June 22, 2008, 08:30:16 AM »
Great catch!!!  From Gateway Pundit (link at the bottom).....

"That's why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work... cut taxes for working families... extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected (Public Law 110-181). I approve of this message because I'll never forget those values."

    Barack Obama
    "The Country I Love"
    First General Election Ad

Bummer-- Barack Obama says he'll never forget those "Kansas Values" from his grandparents but it looks like he already has.

Here is a frame from Obama's very first general election ad:


Obama says that he "extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected" and cited Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.

The problem is: Obama didn't show up to vote. Only 9 senators voted the bill down or did not show up to vote.
Obama was one of the 9.
The bill passed the senate 91 to 3... without Obama's vote.

Decent records and the internet are the bane of fibbers and shavers of the truth.

Of course, someone, somewhere is fact-checking this. 

But, facts don't matter to many folks, nowadays.  A case in point are the numerous quotes by Dems saying bellicose things about Iraq, pre-2003.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Unbelievers!  The Obama can make Change and bring Hope with his mind.  He does not need to vote, merely blink his eyes!

Repent, Unbelievers!

It has been interesting to watch this campaign. During the last, there was some degree of impact from internet and bloggers, but I feel like this time, they are really available for those who want truth. It's a sort of transparency that politicians have never had to deal with before, and they can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that the memory hole is getting harder to use...

While this is true, one would have hoped that even the media would have noticed this.  As a linked aside, did anyone see this in the same blog?

IIRC, Bill Clinton complained about about "being held hostage" by the Lexis/Nexus database . . .

Why would the media want to say anything bad about Obama?  The way the media talks about him, you'd think that he has already won the presidential election!

Yes, they already dumped the oil on his head a long time ago.

Blogs are great IMO.  They are normally one sided and partisan, but they drag out a lot of details and history into the light that the media tends to either ignore or simply can't get to.  You just have to remember to separate fact from opinion.

Of course some one checks. Otherwise the sheeple would believe every syllable of dreck these mooks uttered. A lot still do because facts inconvenience them.

Interesting how I haven't seen this revelation on any of the TV stations . . . even one of the talking head shows on Fox only played the first part of the ad, and chopped off the lie. Hmmm . . . wonder why . . .

Murdoch has reported that he's fascinated by Obama.

From their morning show content, I actually am wondering if they'd gotten new marching orders, now, regardless of what it'd do to their ratings. Tongue
