Complete misinformation and fabrication on the part of the source. Obama not fact checking every anecdote and story told to him about his family history by his family (hell, I'm not gonna go check to see if my dad has employment records of a specific popcorn shop and was working during the Detroit 12th Street Riots, one of many stories I've heard from him). The occasional misspeak, which each politician is given alot of leeway on. Hell, if we berated Bush for every misspeak he made ... well we'd probably have to hang him (and that's just the accidental ones).

And I'd have to say he needs to hire a better speach writer, that one I'll fault Obama for.

I also like that we're actually going so far as to say he's changing his position because of a half hearted hand raise he did while in a room full of others ... that one's my favorite nitpick bullshit.


Can't we like just make it constitutionally illegal to be a conservative or something and make the world a better place. They won't care they completely disregard the constitution as much as possible anyway.

lol

Gotta love it when a thread is not bashing Bush its lame and inconsequential.

Big difference.

You understand the definition of lie is an untruth intended to deceive and not an unintentional error in detail?

Well articulated lies? 57 states? 10,000 dead in tornado? Auschwitz instead of Buchenwald? Uncle instead of Grandfather? Weak.

Big Difference.

Either he does and he's trolling with this FUD or he doesn't and he's ignorant. Either way it's a :thumbsdown: post. I'm going to punch myself for bumping it. :p

As someone mentioned, he's a *cough* Harvard graduate. Ya think he would know the difference? Have you ever referred to you mother as your sister?

Yes, and I've called my dad my brother's name by accident, and neither that nor doing what Obama did makes it a lie. Forget that it's completely irrelevent whether it was his uncle or grandfather. Robor's right, enough attention has been given to the fudfest.

Actually, it was uncle instead of great uncle, his grandfather did also fight in WWII. The 10K dead, I'm guessing he didn't read that speach beforehand. And the 57 states, that's the most obvious one since the way he said it. I often say something, someone looks at me and repeats what I said, and I'm like "Did I say that? I meant..." When you get into what you're talking about and fuck something up, you often don't notice it. But apparantly Blackangst is a doctorate of linguistics who's never misspoke in his life.

And if he is he should be posting in Off Topic with the guys who also would push Jessica Alba out of bed, have 10 inch penises, and have bedded over 500 women all while making 7 figures a year. (fyi, that one was mocking the exaggerators in OT)

For even more Obama fun, be sure to visit http://obamawtf.blogspot.com/2...5/latest-post-523.html

Obama WTF is the original, and most comprehensive, authoritative site about the life, votes, and positions of Senator Obama and his political backers. As his campaign is based on words... not on a proven track-record... if his words are not supported by facts, there?s nothing left but an empty blue suit.

I just got an email that linked to the site. Haven't had a chance to read it all but it looks like there's so much stuff, there's sure to be something for everyone.

Out of the whole list the 57 states one is really the only interesting one--pretty funny screwup and this is from someone who will likely vote for Obama if given the option. But I don't get the whole Muslim thing. Honestly, who gives a fuck? There is no evidence he's EVER practiced anything other than Christianity, but even if he had, WHO CARES? Athiest, buddhist, hell, the president can be a Muslim as far as I'm concerned as long as they keep their religion in their private life why does it make any difference.

"I am soo waiting for his skeletons to come out one by one. With all the shady bullshit he pulled with Rezco shit man...he's as shady as a black shrouded thief at night. His recounts on earlier shit he's said he cant even remember lol media's a bitch...film captures everything. He's been caught in so many lies he probably thinks he was first on the scene to help JFK. "


I'm more alarmed by the destruction of the English language in that little blurb than I am about anything in the linked article to be honest with you.
