Barack Obama’s Magic Pencil (Obama lies about survey)

Posted by Neocon in 2008 Race, Foreign Policy, Obama

(via Hot Air) Politico exposes Barack Obama in another whopper. Is the media really ready to take the shine off their golden Messiah?

During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion– positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he’s projected during his presidential campaign.

The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group’s detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his 1996 bid for a state Senate seat.

Late last year, in response to a Politico story about Obama’s answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he “never saw or approved” the questionnaire.

They asserted the responses were filled out by a campaign aide who “unintentionally mischaracterize(d) his position.”

But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago non-profit group that issued it. And it found that Obama – the day after sitting for the interview – filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes adding to one answer.

Follow the link to Hot Air for all the juicy details. Needless to say, Obama continues to have trouble reconciling his new unification CHANGE campaign with his straight-down-the-line liberal record.

But why did Obama think that he could get away with it? Obviously he’s had the mainstream media licking his boots since he entered the race, but there’s more.

Neocon News has found out Obama’s office supply secret…

I sure hope that Dick Cheney is able to find and break the rest of Obama’s magic pencil stash, otherwise we could be in for a bumpy ride in November. I have great faith in our secret neoconservative overlord though, so rest easy friends. Surely, even now, the bulk of those rascally writing implements are on their way to a date with the fires of Mt. Doom, clutched to the pacemaker-powered chest of our Vice President.
