Obama Takes Credit for Other Senators' Work (above)

Obama Took Credit for Other Senators' Work, Media Largely Ignores it

At the same time, most media seem oddly unaware of a story in yesterday's Washington Post about Barack Obama's having falsely grabbed credit for other legislators' work -- not just in the Illinois legislature, but also while in the U.S. Senate.
In April 2006, according to the Washington Post, six senators ran into Obama while heading to a news conference to announce an immigration bill. Obama tagged along. When the microphone came his way, Obama said:
"'I want to cite Lindsey Graham, Sam Brownback, Mel Martinez, Ken Salazar, myself, Dick Durbin, Joe Lieberman . . . who've actually had to wake up early to try to hammer this stuff out,'" (The Post)
Senate staff members found it a "galling moment," because Obama had done little or no heavy lifting on that project.

Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times, who is an unabashed Obama-lover, is also an honest journalist. She too, way back in 2004, questioned Obama's use of fiction as fact, and stated, "It is impossible to know who is real and who is not." (Sun-Times, 2/20/07, see
CST-NWS-sweet20.article).
Indeed, Ms. Sweet, it is not impossible at all. "Obama" is not real. Mr. Obama is a fictional creation of a very talented and very intelligent bunkum artist, Barry (Barack) Obama. From end to end, from start to finish, Barack Obama is an imaginative self-invention.
I especially like the photo of Obama at this link:
Mr. Obama went on to explain Mr. Wright's anti-Zionist statements as being rooted in his anger over the Jewish state's support for South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid. As with his previous claim that his church gave the award to Mr. Farrakhan because of his work with ex-offenders, Mr. Obama appears to have made that up.
On June 13, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), while serving as an Illinois state senator in 1998, "did a political favor" for Chicago Democratic fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko by writing letters to state and local government officials in support of a Chicago housing project proposed by Rezko’s company, New Kenwood LLC. The Sun-Times asserted that the "letters appear to contradict a statement last December from Obama, who told the Chicago Tribunethat, in all the years he’s known Rezko, ‘I’ve never done any favors for him.’ ”
"...an investigation by The Mail on Sunday has revealed that, for all Mr Obama's reputation for straight talking and the compelling narrative of his recollections, they are largely myth.
"We have discovered that his father was not just a deeply flawed individual but an abusive bigamist and an egomaniac, whose life was ruined not by racism or corruption but his own weaknesses. And, devastatingly, the testimony has come from Mr Obama's own relatives and family friends...
Another example of Obama's poor judgment regarding Social Security....
"All of which makes it just incredible that Barack Obama would make obeisance to fashionable but misguided Social Security crisis-mongering a centerpiece of his campaign..."
In his memoir, Obama writes of one of the watershed moments of his racial awareness -- time and again in remarkable detail. It is a story about a Life magazine article that influenced him. The report was about a black man who tried to bleach his skin white. When Obama was told no such article could be found in Life, he says "it might have been Ebony.
He is 9 years old, living in Indonesia, where he and his mother moved with her new husband, Lolo Soetoro, a few years earlier. One day while visiting his mother, who was working at the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Obama passed time by looking through several issues of Life magazine. He came across an article that he later would describe as feeling like an "ambush attack."
The article included photos of a black man who had destroyed his skin with powerful chemical lighteners that promised to make him white. Instead, the chemicals had peeled off much of his skin, leaving him sad and scarred, Obama recalled.
"I imagine other black children, then and now, undergoing similar moments of revelation," Obama wrote of the magazine photos in "Dreams."
Yet no such photo exists, according to historians at the magazine. No such photos, no such article. When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, "It might have been an Ebony or it might have been ... who knows what it was?" (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)
In fact, it is surprising, based on interviews with more than two dozen people who knew Obama during his nearly four years in Indonesia, that it would take a photograph in a magazine to make him conscious of the fact that some people might treat him differently in part because of the color of his skin.
Obama, whose ears apparently grow larger with each lie he tells, has boasted during the campaign how he stood up to the Exelon Corporation in his home state of Illinois when it was learned it failed to tell the public about radioactive leaks at one of the nuclear power plants it owns.
Obama claimed, according to records unearthed by the Times, that he introduced and helped get passed legislation to make it mandatory for even small leaks to be reported quickly to state and local authorities.
“…the only nuclear legislation that I’ve passed,” Obama told voters in Iowa,according to the Times.
The problem is, it happens not to be true!
In fact, according to the Times account, Obama eventually caved to special interest groups and Republicans in Congress and signed off on legislation much ,much weaker than what he says he got passed–legislation favored by Exelon and the nuclear industry.
The Chicago Tribune writes:
"Several of his oft-recited stories may not have happened in the way he has recounted them. Some seem to make Obama look better in the retelling, others appear to exaggerate his outward struggles over issues of race, or simply skim over some of the most painful, private moments of his life."
In Barack's speech in Selma Alabama, he claimed that his parents were motivated to get married and have Barack "because some folks are willing to march across a bridge." The thing is, Barack was born four years before the incident at Selma occurred. Barack later said he was talking about the whole civil rights movement. Just because he mentioned Selma, while talking at Selma, apparently doesn't mean he meant Selma.
Barack also told people that his father came to America when Barack's grandfather heard John and Bobby Kennedy, who “sent a shout across oceans” for Africans to come to America and learn. Barack Sr. was then sent to America. There's a problem there also:
Barack also told people that his father came to America when Barack's grandfather heard John and Bobby Kennedy, who “sent a shout across oceans” for Africans to come to America and learn. Barack Sr. was then sent to America. There's a problem there also:
...having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his African grandfather heard words that “sent a shout across oceans,” inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
It would be easy to dismiss this as a simple mistake, if it were not for all the comparisons of Barack to John Kennedy.

*Barack Obama, Sr. attended the East-West Center, set up in 1960 by the U. S. Congress and President Eisenhower.
*Selma happened in 1965, when Barack Obama was four, and after the death of John F. Kennedy.
*The 16th Street Baptist Church bombing happened in 1963, when Barack Obama was two.
*Barack Obama, Jr. was born in August 1961.
So basically Barack Obama was born in 1961 because his father got to go to school in 1960, due to a program approved of by "President Kennedy", in response to Selma, which happened in 1965.
In other words, Barack Obama has lied about his personal history, has probably lied about his personal history numerous times, and he is a serial panderer.
I don't doubt that Obama faced tough times while going to the wealthiest schools in Indonesia and Hawaii, and while attending Columbia and Harvard Law School. After all, attending leftist ivy league schools is something that we all can relate to, right?
If Barack Obama would lie about the reason why his father came to America, and what caused his parents to meet, it must make you ask "How many Lies has he told so far?"
Barack Harvard Obama is a paper lion. Plain and simple. The idiot media of Joe Biden-esque figures annoited Barack Obama because they just fawned over his Harvard-bred oration.
Something that Obama won't discuss is how the Muslim world perceives him and what impact it might have on our country and world affairs. It doesn't matter that he is Christain. They say he is a Muslim..... Another example of how Obama does not use good judgment in considering this very obvious and true Muslim law.
Obama's father abandoned him and his mother when he was just a kid (he used Islam's Sharia Law and its tenets about divorce), yet he feels compelled to follow his father's roots while totally neglecting his white mother's heritage and religion. His mother was responsible for who he is today, yet not a peep about her.
16 months ago, the New York Times reported that:
In a recent interview, he [Obama] declined to criticize Senators Kerry and Edwards for voting to authorize the war, although he said he would not have done the same based on the information he had at the time. ”But, I’m not privy to Senate intelligence reports,” Mr. Obama said. ”What would I have done? I don’t know. What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made.”
When a journalist pointed out that such statements raised flags about Obama’s anti-war spin, Obama informed the public that he only did it once, to
avoid putting down John Kerry and John Edwards, two senators who had voted to authorize the war and were about to become their party’s presidential ticket. “The only time when I said I’m not sure what I would do if I were in the Senate was right before the Democratic convention, when we had two nominees that obviously I did not want to be criticizing right before they got up and received the nomination,” [CNN, October 02, 2007
Obama admitted to having lied, when asked whether his words at the time were honest :
“But you didn’t mean it?”
-So — well, no.
-So — well, no.
As if one lie wasn’t enough, he emphasized the singular nature of this dissimulation :
Obama told Candy Crowley that was the only time he ever said anything like that.
Could Obama have forgotten that only a year earlier, in reference to Hillary Clinton’s war vote, which he refused to judge, he stated quite emphatically
I think what people might point to is our different assessments of the war in Iraq, although I’m always careful to say that I was not in the Senate, so perhaps the reason I thought it was such a bad idea was that I didn’t have the benefit of U.S. intelligence. And, for those who did, it might have led to a different set of choices. So that might be something that sort of is obvious. But, again, we were in different circumstances at that time: I was running for the U.S. Senate, she had to take a vote, and casting votes is always a difficult test.
How would one run against Hillary Clinton, in that sense?
-Oh, I don’t know.
You never gave it any thought?
-I haven’t.
You sure?
-Positive.
Edit: More Obama Lies:
What concerns me is the lie or fib or misstatement -- call it what you want -- involved in Obama's assertion that more young black men are in prison than in college. It is a shocking statistic -- and it is wrong. But when The Post's lonesome but formidable truth squad, Michael Dobbs, brought this to the attention of the Obama campaign, he not only got the brushoff but the assertion was later repeated.
This is either an outright lie, or a complete misunderstanding of how the military works. Either way, Obama is not fit to be the CinC.

2001 Beyond the visits to his Muslim relatives in Africa, Obama has little to say about Islam and Muslims until the events of 9/11. After that date, Obama begins to become more public in his support of Muslims and their cause.
2001 Obama is protective of civil rights for Muslims in the U.S., saying, "In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging," he laments. "I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
2001 Obama sponsors Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the "Halal Food Act," providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law.

Islamization -- here's how it works and why Halal food plays a role.
2003 Obama calls the Iraq war "a botched and ill-advised U.S. military incursion into a Muslim country."

Well, there is a lot more but this is getting rather lengthy so I'll stop for now!
Check back for more to be added!!
I cannot tell a lie! But Mr. Obama wasn't that said by George Washington, our first president? Obama: Well, I borrowed it with his permission.
Obama: I did not hear the non-controversial, non-crackpot statements of Rev. Wright while sitting in the pews.
3 Days later in his pandering speech: Did I hear some of these controversial statements while in church? Yes....
Obama Rezko donated about $50K to my campaign.
Recently -- well maye it was more like $168K or more.
Hey, Did I tell you I chopped down a cherry tree the other day?
Errr, ahhh, maybe it was a fig!
