Obama Caught in Lapel Flag Lie

Hillary Clinton got caught in a lie when she said she had dodged sniper fire during a 1996 visit to Bosnia. Now her Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama has been caught in a “sniper fire” lie of his own.
During Thursday’s debate in Pennsylvania, Obama was asked why he doesn’t wear an American flag lapel pin, as do many other politicians as well as servicemen and law enforcement officials.
“I have never said that I don’t wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins,” he responded.
“That is the kind of manufactured issue that our politics has become obsessed with.”
But Obama did indeed declare that he does not wear flag pins, Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times noted.
During a campaign stop in Iowa last October, a reporter asked Obama why he wasn’t wearing a flag pin to express solidarity with 9/11 victims.
This is what Obama said back then: “You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. 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 important to our national security. I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.”

I still can't believe BB is a guy.

Obama needs to brush that dirt off his shoulder.
During the debate, Hilary wasn't wearing the flag lapel pin either.

He's anti-gun and anti-freedom of speech. He's also against the judicial process.
I'd say he's a piece of shit lib, but at least libs are honest.

Dude, come on. Liberals don't have the market on honesty cornered anymore more than conservatives do.
Both will twist the truth to suit their political perspective.
Hell, I'M guilty of that. ::)

Good. Make sure you attach one of your spam links to give the hard cross an extra sting. :)
