It’s Monday. So you know what that means?
Yep, Sen. Barack Obama caught in yet another lie…
This time over a political survey that he denies ever having handled. Except — ooops — the survey has materialized, and it’s covered in Obama’s own handwriting.
From Capt. Ed at Hot Air:
So what were Obama’s positions in 1996, according to the questionnaire that bears his handwriting?
- Opposed to parental notification on abortions. He amended this to say that he might possibly support it for 12- or 13-year-olds, but no older.
- Flatly opposed the death penalty, a position he denied ever having.
- Supported bans on the sale, possession, and manufacture of guns, again a position he denied ever taking.
The original breaking story from Politico has more details:
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.
The Obamaniacs will find another way to excuse or spin this latest lie from the mouth of the anointed one — but for a guy running on “character” and “judgment”, he sure displays a dizzying lack of either.
Barack Obama’s Magic Pencil (Obama lies about survey)…
(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…
LOL. It’s a shame that the media can decide (some would say greatly influence) who is elected president. This guy is the media’s darling and they will not drop their ardent, but undeserved, support unless it’s discovered that Obama was a serial killer–not just a murderer, he’d have to be shown to be a serial killer for the media to think about jumping off this stupid bandwagon. Hmm, maybe his victims would have to have all been kids too.

Even More Lies From Obama…
As if we haven’t heard enough straight up lies…we get more dishonesty from the politician for change. He filled out a survey in his early political career taking very extreme liberal positions on everything from gun control to abortion. W…
I don’t know how old any of you people are who have commented so you may not have lived long enough to change you mind on a certain issue. But I think as time passes people mature and sometimes their views change. This interview or questionare happened in 1996, thats a good 12 years ago. Can any of you tell me honestly that your beliefs 12 years ago are the same as today? I feel we should definitely look at a person past but don’t go looking for minor missteps and statements to say they are liars. Essentially we need someone in the White House who can steer this country back to where the citizens of this great nation count for something.
[Editor --- Then why'd he lie about it?]
Came across this in my search for actual dirt on Obama.
Is this sort of stuff the best you can find? Not always happy with the guy, but come on.
This is nothing compared to even a quarter of the stuff out there on McCain.
