Another gaffe you'll only read about on conservative blogs. Strange times we live in when 95% of the mainstream media spends all its time covering for a friggin' retard.
From the transcript of the first presidential debate:
Obama: There's no doubt it will affect our budgets. There is no doubt about it. Not only -- Even if we get all $700 billion back, let's assume the markets recover, we' holding assets long enough that eventually taxpayers get it back and that happened during the Great Depression when Roosevelt purchased a whole bunch of homes, over time, home values went back up and in fact government made a profit. If we're lucky and do it right, that could potentially happen but in the short term there's an outlay and we may not see that money for a while.
Obama is talking about the present bailout that will return a profit - only problem is that FDR never did such a thing. And don't even get me started on the "we' holding" ghetto speak.

DID ABC MISREPRESENT AMOUNT OF SOLDIERS THAT SAY THEY ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA?
Interesting passage from Right Wing Dog:
Just in case you happened to see the ABC News pieceI don't doubt this account for one minute.
(if you watch ABC News) with interviews of 5 military folks in Iraq - 3
planned to vote for Obama and 2 for Hillary; no mention of any McCain
supporters. Well, here’s the ”Rest of the Story.”
This from Major General (ret) Buckman
My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment, to be escort/guard/ watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain’s recent trip to Iraq
Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI’s walking past. They kept count of the GI’s and you should remember these numbers. She asked 60 GI’s who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2 for Hillary.
Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they’d see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn.
Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn’t a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell’uva view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain’s trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI’s being asked by Raddatz how they were going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton .. No mention of the 54 for McCain.

BUSH DIDN'T LIE ABOUT IRAQ: AND THAT'S ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST
The Washington Post of all outlets is saying that Bush didn't lie about Iraq. Of course, there is a major political party attracting votes for lying about lying. So don't expect the mainstream media to take this angle.
Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, set out to provide the official foundation for what has become not only a thriving business but, more important, an article of faith among millions of Americans. And in releasing a committee report Thursday, he claimed to have accomplished his mission, though he did not use the L-word.Of course, this information means nothing to those it should mean the most. Those running for office on the "Bush lied" lie.
"In making the case for war, the administration repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent," he said.
But dive into Rockefeller's report, in search of where exactly President Bush lied about what his intelligence agencies were telling him about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, and you may be surprised by what you find.
On Iraq's nuclear weapons program? The president's statements "were generally substantiated by intelligence community estimates."
On biological weapons, production capability and those infamous mobile laboratories? The president's statements "were substantiated by intelligence information."
On chemical weapons, then? "Substantiated by intelligence information."
On weapons of mass destruction overall (a separate section of the intelligence committee report)? "Generally substantiated by intelligence information." Delivery vehicles such as ballistic missiles? "Generally substantiated by available intelligence." Unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to deliver WMDs? "Generally substantiated by intelligence information."
As you read through the report, you begin to think maybe you've mistakenly picked up the minority dissent. But, no, this is the Rockefeller indictment. So, you think, the smoking gun must appear in the section on Bush's claims about Saddam Hussein's alleged ties to terrorism.
But statements regarding Iraq's support for terrorist groups other than al-Qaeda "were substantiated by intelligence information." Statements that Iraq provided safe haven for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and other terrorists with ties to al-Qaeda "were substantiated by the intelligence assessments," and statements regarding Iraq's contacts with al-Qaeda "were substantiated by intelligence information." The report is left to complain about "implications" and statements that "left the impression" that those contacts led to substantive Iraqi cooperation.

OBAMA STRETCHES THE TRUTH AGAIN AT GRADUATION SPEECH
The lies, pardon me, "gaffes" are coming fast and furious...
In his commencement address at Wesleyan College this weekend, Barack Hussein Obama told the assembled graduates:Gaffelicious!
"But during my first two years of college, perhaps because the values my mother had taught me -hard work, honesty, empathy - had resurfaced after a long hibernation; or perhaps because of the example of wonderful teachers and lasting friends, I began to notice a world beyond myself. I became active in the movement to oppose the apartheid regime of South Africa. I began following the debates in this country about poverty and health care. So that by the time I graduated from college, I was possessed with a crazy idea - that I would work at a grassroots level to bring about change.
I wrote letters to every organization in the country I could think of. And one day, a small group of churches on the South Side of Chicago offered me a job to come work as a community organizer in neighborhoods that had been devastated by steel plant closings. My mother and grandparents wanted me to go to law school. My friends were applying to jobs on Wall Street. Meanwhile, this organization offered me $12,000 a year plus $2,000 for an old, beat-up car.
And I said yes."
But Obama did not go from college to the "grassroots," as his statement at Wesleyan would lead one to believe:
"Upon graduating from Columbia in 1983, he worked first at Business International Corporation and then at New York Public Interest Research Group, both in New York City. Obama didn't take the community organizing job and move to Chicago until 1985. After three years in that capacity, he enrolled in law school."

LIE OR GAFFE AND DOES THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA EVEN CARE?: OBAMA LIES ABOUT UNCLE LIBERATING AUSCHWITZ
Obama has rewritten history yet again...
Despite not having served in the military himself, Barack Obama used his Memorial Day remarks to speak about his family’s service. “My grandfather marched in Patton’s army, but I cannot know what it is to walk into battle like so many of you,” he told a small group of veterans here. “My grandmother worked on a bomber assembly line, but I cannot know what it is for a family to sacrifice like so many of yours have.”One small problem with Obama's account. Auschwitz is in Poland and was liberated by the Red Army (Russia) on Jan 27, 1945. The allies were hundrends of miles west of Auschwitz and in fact, had not even crossed the Rhine river. So, unless Obama's typical white uncle was fighting for Stalin, this account is highly doubtful.
Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz.
Now you would think that at least some of Obama's disciples would have noticed this "inconsistency", or gaffe, or lie. Whatever you want to call it. Those disciples, after all, are the enlightened ones. The chosen ones. The bee's knees and whatnot.
Wake up America! Obama wants to eat your babies!
