Bummer. Obama Caught In a Major Lie In Very First Election Ad

"That's why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work... cut taxes for working families... extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected (Public Law 110-181). I approve of this message because I'll never forget those values."

Barack Obama
"The Country I Love"
First General Election Ad
Bummer-- Barack Obama says he'll never forget those "Kansas Values" from his grandparents but it looks like he already has.

Here is a frame from Obama's very first general election ad:

Obama says that he "extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected" and cited Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.

The problem is: Obama didn't show up to vote. Only 9 senators voted the bill down or did not show up to vote.
Obama was one of the 9.
The bill passed the senate 91 to 3... without Obama's vote.

Weekly Standard Blog mentioned this yesterday.

Obama Gaffes says this isn't the first time this has happened.

UPDATE: Power Line has more on The Uniter's dishonest ad.

    I heard Michelle Obama will be posting a rebuttal ad called, "I have never been proud of this country."

    The actions of a megalomaniac, is to be a habitual liar in order to take responsibility for something they did not do. Therefore, Obama will lie, lie and lie again... He is addicted to lying his entire life. From his fictional book accounts of conversations with friends, to his 20 years of sitting in a church of vile hatred. And pretending not to hear the racist hater Wright.

    An honest man, say a campaign manager like David Axelrod would've suggested Obama take care of his patholocial condition prior to running for Senate, but even more so before running as President.

    But wait... he lied about running for President too.

    All these lies are adding up. Call it the new William Ayers Revolutionary Math. Students today we will learn how many lies a Democrat Candidate can make before the public realizes it and stops trusting him. At the point of critical tangential overload, our new Marxist Candidate will begin pointing fingers at everyone but himself. This reflection and projection back onto the public will balance out our Marxist equationality. The variables included to balance our Marxist equationality include but are not limited to: You a racist!, You a racist! and can I hear you repeat it again class? You a racist!

    Watch class and learn... We are up to over 50 lies right now and counting.

    55 lies and counting

    From the article link above...

    Unhappy Obama-tron Media starts to think a little for themselves...

    "The decision to mislead reporters is a troubling one." We hope this does not presage(is a bad omen for) a relationship with the Obama campaign that is not based on a mutual respect for the truth," the bureau chiefs of NBC, CBS, Fox, ABC and CNN wrote in their letter.

    "Signing on behalf of NBC was Tim Russert, who died unexpectedly last week..."

    Maybe there is some hope, but I'm sure the false messiah will dance around on his plane for all the babettes who can giggle and all will be well in Obama-tron world yet again.

    bruce hall,

    I heard!

    LOL... Goracle admitted this in giving credit to Obama-messiah, that it wasn't him afterall, but his new idol, Obama.

    Obama also took credit for flight. The Wright Bros were simply white people full of greed. Obama is a time traveler as well.

    OT: Obama Liar = Corporate Liar

    Obama-Corrupto-Chango-Fako-Vision

    BG, you probably covered this...

    Corporations are evil except when they pay Obama $112,000/yr for doing nothing... well, except for when the Illinois State Senator wrote an officially signed letter letterhead asking for State Funds on behalf of the Corporation he worked for.

    LOL... what an idiot!

    No conflict here... MoveOn..., ummmm wait, sniff, sniff, I smell the feet of a happy dancer hypocrite...

    Found article down the wabbit hole at LATimes:

    Obama $8,000 per month Retainer = Corporate Greed

    "A few months after receiving his final payment from EKI, Obama sent a request on state Senate letterhead urging Illinois officials to provide a $50,000 tourism promotion grant to another Blackwell company, Killerspin."

    "Killerspin specializes in table tennis, running tournaments nationwide and selling its own line of equipment and apparel and DVD recordings of the competitions. With support from Obama, other state officials and an Obama aide who went to work part time for Killerspin, the company eventually obtained $320,000 in state grants between 2002 and 2004 to subsidize its tournaments."

    Obama went on the payroll of a greedy Corporation after his first failed attempt at Congressional run in 2000. He was given a "retainer" as a "lawyer" for Robert Blackwell Jr., to give him legal advice on how to...? What you ask? Heck if I know. I'm just an typical white greedy person according to Obama. But maybe, just maybe it was to screw the Illinois taxpayer over for corporate subsidies?

    So, let me get this right. Obama-false-messiah, gets all angry about lobbyist, oil companies, yada, yada, pointing his finger at racist white greed, but then uses his political power to fund a Corporation for table tennis tournaments?

    Table Tennis Company? Oil Companies and hundreds of thousands of people, millions in fact that contribute to the daily running of our nation are evil?

    But Table Tennis Companies deserve Obama's Funding from Illinois taxes?

    Self Righteous Hypocrite, Liar, Greedy Political Hack...

    Obama, A Vote for Me is a Vote for Table Tennis Diplomacy. We will cut off the oil companies and share a Table Tennis vision for all of America!

    LOL! Yo, yo, yo Doggy Dogg Spike, you man be a hypocrite and liar. If that is your version of a chocolate city, table tennis and cocaine, I'll vote NO in November to Obama-trons messiah.

    The moral to this story? Anytime a Candidate Campaigns relentlessly on the Cliche of Change? The only thing that has changed is the face and name!

    Gotcha! not until...

    I will be surprised by Obama when he actually proves something good about himself without fabrication.

    I will be surprised by the DNC when they actually endorse the Constitution and renounce Marx.

    I will be surprised by McCain when he takes on Mark Shields' scoff at Obama by taking a polygraph to prove his stance on immigration reform pro-citizen and con-illegal-alien.

    I will be pleasantly surprised by McCain when he takes on Fred Thompson's conservative platform for his own campaign to win a victory for America!

    I will be surprised by the RNC when they actually endorse the Constitution instead of the RINO platform.

    And of course he's now stuck in perhaps the hugest lie of his career with his remarks of approval for the House of Rep. FISA/telcom immunity bill -- we shall see if he joins to filibuster the Senate version, but the way Obama says it, it looks like he will not, just that he's promising to fix it somewhow when he becomes President (all of which just makes the whole matter worse rather than better -- because supporting the FISA bill is supporting letting the legislative branch act like the judiciary and violate the Constitution; while promising to fix it in the executive, via signing statements or whatever, is allowing the executive to act like the legislative, also in violation of the Constitution; it's all a big mess).

    Obama's base is seriously pissed as it just proves Obama's a fraud when it comes to "change", just the same old politician. If Obama doesn't want his supporters to stay home from the polls or go third candidate, he's going to have to reverse his reversal on FISA.

    How could he move welfare workers to jobs? Welfare reform was before he was elected to the senate and when did he ever cut any taxes? The man's a liar through and through.

    Obama authored parts of the law and submitted amendments that did exactly what his campaign is claiming.

    He didn't vote for it, but it wasn't necessary, since it obviously passed by a predictably huge margin.

    Good try though.

    disgraceful.. 3 of the 6 who did not vote were running for CIC of the US Military at the time.. and albeit McCain (or Clinton) didn't run an add claiming the same.. the truth is, the entire Congress is a major disgrace in & of itself, the Dems even more so, Obama being the worst of the lot having made such false claims on top of everything else he's lied about.. :-:

    "Obama authored parts of the law and submitted amendments that did exactly what his campaign is claiming."

    Sorry but Obama was not a sponsor or a cosponsor of H.R. 4986 which became Public Law 110-181.
    Some of his provisions made it into law but not in the original bills.
    So he didn't sponsor it. He didn't vote for it. So for him to take credit for it is dubious at best.
    The only two other laws he cites is in regards to Illinois legislation, not federal.
    But let's face it. He doesn't have that much federal experience and much of this year has been spent on the campaign trail, not in his Senate seat.

  17. I have a harder challenge for you Oblabla researchers:

    Count the public statements he's made which are verifiably true.

    If any.

    Padding Obama

    excerpt:

    [Even under the most generous reading imaginable could any of that count as passing legislation that extended health care for wounded troops? The Chicago Tribune noted the problem on its blog last week but defended Obama by pointing out that John McCain didn’t vote for the bill either. That would be an interesting piece of information if John McCain had cited this bill as among his chief legislative accomplishments.

    The Obama team’s desire to pad the resume is understandable — it’s awfully slim after all. But this kind of dishonesty will catch up with them…or at least it should.]

    yeah right.. like the Obama-nations Marxist Support Machine would print or air any of that info.. oh no, they just HOPE they don't get caught, and even if & when they do get caught, they still wouldn't CHANGE a blatant lie for the honest truth, gah!!
