38 Obama Falsehoods the Media Ignores

1.)”Selma Got Me Born” – NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.
(Google’Obama 
Selma‘ for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder – NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter – NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governmentsKenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom – NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga’s
follower. You interrupted your 
New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that….and for more. Obama’s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians’ homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian – NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from 
Kenya, his father’s family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even
states he’s Arab, not African Negro). From….and for more….go to….. (http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml? Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-)_

7.) I Never Practiced Islam – NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at
school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office. 
4-3-08 Article ‘Obama was ‘quite religious in islam”
(http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=60559)

8.) My School In Indonesia Was Christian – NOT EXACTLY, you were
registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check his own book).
February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.’ This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says ‘Obama’s narrative is being
altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.’

9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs – NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

12.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion - NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify – your classmates said you were just fine.

13.)An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office – NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

14.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My Outlook On Life – NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

15.) I Won’t Run On A National Ticket In ‘08 – NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

16.) Voting ‘Present’ is Common In Illinois Senate – NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 NO VOTES.

17.) Oops, I Misquoted - NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misquote.

18.) I Was A Professor Of Law - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ONLEAVE.

19.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer - NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

20.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill – NOT EXACTLY, you didnít write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.

21.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass – NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

22.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill – NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

23.) I Have Released My State Records - NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

24.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - NOT EXACTLY, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

25.) My Economics Bill Will Help America - NOT EXACTLY, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your own bill.

26.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois – NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

27.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year – NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

28.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA – NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

29.) I Am Tough On Terrorism - NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel.

30.) I Want All Votes To Count – NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

31.) I Want Americans To Decide - NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

32.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate – NOT EXACTLY, you passed 26, most of which you didn’t write yourself.

33.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics – NOT EXACTLY, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

34.) I Don’t Take PAC Money - NOT EXACTLY, you take loads of it.

35.) I don’t Have Lobbyists – NOT EXACTLY, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.

36.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad – NOT EXACTLY, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.

37.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq war decision - NOT EXACTLY, you weren’t in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time.

38.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care - NOT EXACTLY, your plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who don’t have to buy it

    as a media person, i get a kick out of these kind of assertions–”the media ignores.” i’m going to assume you are not with obama every time he speaks. i’m going to assume his campaign doesn’t keep you supplied with copies of his statements. i’m going to assume you got all of the statements from the same news media you said ignored the statements. admit it. what you really want is for everyone to keep hammering away at the statements so you can get your rocks off.

    @ straightrecord what exactly is your point ? Would you leave a similar comment on a blog showcasing McCain’s flight training and service record,his divorces and philandering,his voting record or district shopping ?
    The truth is the points in this post are important. I’m going to assume you’ll be voting Obama no matter what.

    hmmm…I hadn’t even heard of half of these claims. Many of them seem pretty nit-picky and irrelevant IMO.

    alfie: the title of this blog talks about supposedly 38 obama “facts the media ignores.” as my answer applies equally about mccain and any other candidate. you people keep saying “the media ignores” when the only reason you know something is the media told you. this is thus a silly assertion and was the purpose of my response. but i’ll address the rest of your non sequitur response. on mccain: again, all the “facts” you present you had to get from the media, which i guess you would still say “the media ignores.” but i assert further that none of this means crap when choosing a president. you are trying to make mountains out of moleholes when you should be focusing on the issues and how each candidate would perform as president on issues that really have an impact on your life, your family’s, your neighbors and the rest of the country. voters need to grow up and becomed informed.

    I am also counting your list; it looks so similar to a grocery list; well thought and well researched; you must be really over-anxious and worried right.(smile)

    @straightrecord…I never said the media ignored anything although any number of those in the 4th estate do indeed portion,gloss over and delete things.I’ll be fair and say that applies to right and left media.

    non sequitur:A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it.

    I don’t see where that applied but good for you continuing to bring snark to a thread.

    but i assert further that none of this means crap when choosing a president.

    I’d put to you (and Chen) that looking into the character of a candidate is essential to choosing a President.I’d further stip that it is at least equal to the issues since the “election issues” are all based on promises and intent.
    I agree with you totally that voters should seek to be informed and looking at the full character and record of Obama and McCain is important and appropriate.

    The Typical Fear of an American Jew, who’s afraid this next president won’t be a puppet for Israel. Well, my freind, Israel can’t stay on top for ever?!

    To: theinnercircle

    I am offended by the strong antisemitic timbre of your post. I am hoping that I am mistaken and that because this is wtitten and not oral the mistake lies in not a continued dialog.

    One only has to do research on their own to know the truth and not be led like a dog on a leash. I have three questions for you:

    1) When was the first exodos into what is now Isreal?
    2) Who is the first famous American to tour Palestine and when?
    3) What was the cause of the 2nd Intifada?

    These are not hard questions and the answers can be found almost anywhere, especially in a library.

    As for Obama: He’s is not trust worthy and if you will not take the time to check out facts for yourself, then do not look anywhere but in a mirror if he is elected and his true nature is revealed.

    I have a question. Are any of these direct quotes? Because I googled a bunch of these and came up with no legitimate sites. Also, can you back up when he said these things exactly? As well as where you found proof to contradict him? I’m all for criticizing Obama, and some of them seem legit, but I think you just made up a bunch of these. Unless you can produce evidence.

    russ:
    most bloggers simply pass along hate e-mail and other stuff with lies and unsubstantiated statements. check them out at http://www.factcheck.org or http://www.snopes.com or legitimate newspapers that have a truth squad. these sites reveal the lies of both sides, particularly the claims in the idiotic campaign ads.
