Posted at 11:52am on Apr. 17, 2008 The Daily Pinocchiobama Lie: Obama lies about the flag

By Erick

My God in Heaven, this guy is just blogger gold! Seriously folks, for all the talk that lefties have about Bush lying, what they actually usually mean is that Bush does what he says and they can't believe he'd actually do that!

Obama, on the other hand, is rapidly earning the label Pinocchiobama. Hat tip to Jim Gergahty for this one. I missed the torture exercise debate.

Last night, Obama said, "I have never said that I don't wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins."

As we chronicled the other day, in October 2007, Obama said:

Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq War, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest.

Oh, I get it. This is just lawyering out of it again (he's good at lawyering out since, as his wife said, she's a lawyer, he's a lawyer, and "everybody [they] know are lawyers.").

He said he wouldn't wear one on his "chest" not that he wouldn't wear one. No doubt he had a little flag lapel pin on his underwear.

Posted at 9:25am on Apr. 16, 2008 I've lost count of the Obama lies, but here is another one involving his ties to Nadhmi Auchi, friend of Saddam

By Erick

So, Michelle Obama tells a crowd "Barack's a lawyer, I'm a lawyer, everybody we know are lawyers."

Maybe *that* explains why he relies on so many half truths and half facts and denial, non-denails to skirt the issue of whether he is in fact lying. Here's a new one he is going to have a hard time getting out of.

Soren filled you in on Nadmi Auchi, an associate of Saddam Hussein's who helped Saddam in his rise to power. Obama attended a reception for Auchi at Tony Rezko's house. Auchi gave Rezko a bunch of money shortly before Rezko subsidized Obama's house purchase. Auchi later was convicted of fraud in France.

Naturally, Obama denied any association with Auchi and did not "remember" this whole party for Auchi. Yet again, we have an Obama lie.

Dem presidential contender Barack Obama's handlers may be telling the press Obama has NO "recollection" of a 2004 party at influence peddler Tony Rezko's Wilmette house, but a top Sneed source claims Obama not only gave Rezko's guest of honor, Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi, a big welcome . . . but he made a few toasts!

Some of you are still dwelling on the bit about Michelle Obama saying everyone they know are lawyers. Yeah, that whole "I'm just like you guys" thing is another we can add to the lie list with the Auchi one.

Man I hope this guy beats Hillary.

Pinocchiobama strikes again.
