Obama caught....

   ....telling [1]outright lies. Obama gave a speech in Selma, Alabama,
   and spoke of his roots in the civil rights movement. His story,
   however, was far from truthful.

     Obama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to
     âmarch across a bridgeâ 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 didnât occur until March 7, 1965, at least
     five years after Obamaâs 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
     âsent a shout across oceans,â 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.
     Obamaâs speech is reminiscent of Al Gore's claim of having invented
     the Internet, Hillary Clintonâs 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.

   The more things change, the more they remain the same.
