Barack Obama: another snakeoil salesman
Paul Hollrah “Say What, Barrack?”:
Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to “march across a bridge” in Selma, Alabama, his mother, a white woman from Kansas, and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barrack Obama, Jr. was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn’t occur until March 7, 1965, at least five years after Obama’s parents met.
Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby, decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr., to America.
The problem with that scenario is that, 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.
Obama’s speech is reminiscent of Al Gore’s claim of having invented the Internet, Hillary Clinton’s claim of having been named after the first man to climb Mt. Everest… even though she was born five years and seven months before Sir Edmund climbed the mountain, and John Kerry’s imaginary trip to Cambodia.
Read the whole thing.
Hat Tip to Larry Sinclair.

Why doesn’t the media call Obama on these things? I was in Montgomery, AL when those things were going on and it was in 1965! This guy’s whole life is based on lies! And, yet, we stand to get him for the President because people ‘want a change’. And, they may just get it - it just won’t be the change they are expecting.

Lying: It’s how Democrats do, well, everything.

Why tell the truth when a lie to a democrat is perfectly acceptable if it comes from a democrat. As a fact the only hero’s they have lied about their heroic acts. The real lies and acceptance of lies started with JFK and have never let up.

Obama has the hypnotic charm to seduce the girls into removing their clothes down to their panties…and then some. But take away the mic and the echo, and he sounds just like the rest of the B.S. artists.

One would think that someone who blogs apparently on a daily and passionate basis ought to know how to spell– “appropros” instead of the correct spelling, apropos–quite ironically appropriate.

Anybody who has an ounce of sense knows that nobody is perfect.
Except you, of course.
You know you’re really bugging people when they start picking on the spelling.
I’m sorry, you missed the spelling bee - but this isn’t it.
By the way, I don’t know what the heck you’re talking about…since none of the commenters brought up that word on this post but you; and as far as I can tell, the post doesn’t include it, either.
Can anybody say….irrelevant?

I don’t know why anyone is emailing ME about spelling or misspelling, but f–k Obama anyway.
