So Palin Lied Huh?




It was brought to my attention that in between littering his front lawn with Obama signs and and watching his vast collection of Michael Moore movies, Jim Kuhnhenn of the AP decided to write something that resembles an article about Sarah Palin.

The "article" written by Jim was about the "lies" that Gov. Palin told during her acceptance speech. He claims that "In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation."

Now lets cut through the Obama bumper stickers and get to some truths. The fact of the matter is that Alaska received only $500,000 in earmark spending in 2007 according to the Examiner. Hawaii, Barry's home state received almost triple that (1.4 million).

Jim claims that "Obama has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year."

Now for the real story, Obama's first Bill, introduced onJune 19 2006, was S.RES.291 which congradulated the Chicago White Sox on winning the World Series. His second was S.RES.529 which recognized July 13th as "Naional Summer Learning Day" and was passed on July 13th 2006. His third and final Bill was S.2125 and was to promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and was passed into law. These are the Bills that Obama sponsored while in the Senate.

SO basically what Jim is saying is a flat out lie. What probably happened was that Obama went up to a group of Republicans that were talking about stopping shipments of WMD's and he said "Yeah that sounds like a good idea." In Jim's little world, that turns into "Working to pass legislation."

Now, Jim...Anyone at the AP...can we start telling the truth about some things? Where is the story about Obama sniffing coke in college? Where is the story about Obama being "friends" with William Aires? Where is the story about Tony Rezko? Where is the story about Rev. Wright? Father Pflager?

Now for the kicker and the PROOF that the mainstream MSNBC, New York Times, and now the AP media is litterally PART of the Obama campaign...Are you ready?

From the AP just 34 minutes ago:

"Barack Obama made his first direct criticism of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on Saturday, saying she pretends to oppose spending earmarks when she actually has embraced them"

Obama said "She's a skillful politician. But, you know, when you've been taking all these earmarks when it's convenient, and then suddenly you're the champion anti-earmark person, that's not change. Come on! I mean, words mean something, you can't just make stuff up." (Barry...They only got $500,000 in Earmarks in 2007...your homestate got $1.4 Million)

He is actually USING JIMS ARTICLE. Come on now Barry, we now that you can't speak unless your reading, but an article from the AP? That's low!

Barack Obama's legislative record

In the U.S. Senate, Obama is a relative lightweight. According to govtrack.us, Sen. Obama has sponsored 136 bills since Jan 4, 2005, of which 122 haven't made it out of committee and only 2 were successfully enacted. Obama has co-sponsored 659 bills during the same time period. Co-sponsoring is no big deal. At the least it merely involves being willing to strongly support another Senator's bill, in return for which he or she puts your name on it as a co-sponsor.

Eually interesting, according to govtrack.us, is Obama's Senate attendance record. He has missed 301 (nearly a fourth) of 1282 votes since Jan 6, 2005.
