The Audacity of Lies

Savage politics has just caught Obama in such an audacious lie that it leaves me wondering if anyone at the Obama campaign has an intact brain cell.  What ARE they all on over there? Here’s the link to the piece: http://savagepolitics.com/?p=800 .    Here’s a frame of the ad.

Here’s the analysis.

“Is lying and blatant misdirection a ‘Kansas family-value’? By the looks of Obama’s first general election advertisement  it is almost a religion. Obama says in his ad that he “extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected” and cites Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.

The problem is: Obama didn’t show up to vote that day! The bill passed the senate 91 to 3… WITHOUT Obama’s vote.”

How on earth can you claim you did something that you didn’t do?  Especially, let me put this in caps, ESPECIALLY, when it has to do with the men and women who have been wounded in Dubya’s war.  How can you put their faces on your ad behind the bold print of a bald faced lie and get up in the morning and face yourself in the mirror? This man didn’t bother to vote for our wounded soldiers and now uses it as his badge of honor.

Cannonfire (source:  http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/) reports that DailyKampf is already in gross rationalization mode claiming that Obama supposedly wrote some of it so has a right to claim credit.  However, he did not even sponsor or cosponsor this bill.This bill was supported by a huge majority of the senate.   They came, they voted.  How could he NOT even show up for the vote but now claim he fully supported the bill per this sham of a TV ad?  Did he not vote for it because voting present is not an option in the U.S. Senate?  Did he hit the wrong button?  Was he out to lunch?  We know he wasn’t visiting the troops in Iraq or Afghanistan.  So WHERE THE FUCK WAS HE for the vote?

Somebody with a press pass on the Obama campaign bus needs to ask that question.  Can we at least bring the topic up with some phone calls to Lou Dobbs?  Anderson,  you were knee deep in unmentionable liquid down here for weeks?  Are you brave enough to confront the Grand Possum on this?

What does it take to get the DNC to wake up to what a serious mistake this man is?  Trotting out wounded soldiers to support a lie is even beyond the word audacity.  Somebody, please, find the alternate universe the Obamatrons have created for themselves and drag them back into reality.

UPDATE:  JULY 2, 2008:  Obama has removed this portion of his padded resume from the ad.
