Breaking news: Obama campaign changes story, admits he misrepresented Born Alive vote
From the New York Sun, dated August 18:

Indeed, Mr. Obama appeared to misstate his position in the CBN interview on Saturday when he said the federal version he supported "was not the bill that was presented at the state level." His campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state Senate, and a spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said the senator and other lawmakers had concerns that even as worded, the legislation could have undermined existing Illinois abortion law. Those concerns did not exist for the federal bill, because there is no federal abortion law.

Bearing in mind the Obama campaign now admits he voted as state senator against the very same legislation passed overwhelmingly on the federal level to stop infanticide, read again what he told CBN's David Brody only last night:

Well and because they have not been telling the truth. And I hate to say that people are lying, but here's a situation where folks are lying. I have said repeatedly that I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported - which was to say - that you should provide assistance to any infant that was born - even if it was as a consequence of an induced abortion.

That was not the bill that was presented at the state level. What that bill also was doing was trying to undermine Roe vs. Wade. By the way, we also had a bill, a law already in place in IL that insured life saving treatment was given to infants. So for people to suggest that I and the IL Medical Society, so IL doctors were somehow in favor of withholding life saving support from an infant born alive is ridiculous. It defies common sense and it defies imagination and for people to keep on pushing this is offensive and it's an example of the kind of politics that we have to get beyond.

It's one thing for people to disagree with me about the issue of choice, it's another thing for people to out and out misrepresent my positions repeatedly, even after they know that they're wrong. And that's what's been happening.

Little did Obama know his own words would so quickly condemn him. He admitted what he did "defies common sense and it defies imagination." In fact, it was heinous.

While the Obama campaign tonight finally admitted Obama has misrepresented his Born Alive vote all these years, it had the audacity to offer a ludicrous excuse, an excuse Obama himself contradicted only 24 hours ago, as he has for years, that "I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported."

This is no shock.

Hard to keep all youre lies straight when you tell so many of them

[yeahYeah]

I cannot comment specifically on this...it's above my pay grade.

So...commenting on abortion is somehow above his pay grade...however the guy seems to think that commenting on the oil business...of which he has NEVER worked in or around and has zero experinece in...IS somehow within his pay grade!

Classic!

How can anyone but the most die hard leftist idealogues support this bozo?

I just hope that McCain is smart enough to use this against Obama. Polls indicate that even "pro-choicers" are appalled by his vote once they have heard the facts.

If McCain is too nice, maybe one of those evil 527s will do the job.

as much as the media tries to downplay the Christian vote and the unimportance of "a womans right", it's still very real. I will not vote for a pro-choice (abortion/murder) candidate period. the media is attempting to tell us that abortion is a non-issue so its ok to vote for obama.

[Brickboy240]

I am pro-choice and STILL found Obama's lack of being able to answer directly a huge problem.

Why is it that this guy cannot answer a direct and simple question with a simple answer? Hunting and pecking around for the textbook answer only makes one look phony or lacking in core beliefs....does it not?

Answer simple questions with simple answers and you will appear geniune and as you mean it....not a stumbling fool.

...and this guy was a lawyer? How did this type of acting pan out in the courtroom? Not very well...if I had to guess.

[wombat13]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Obama found himself inside a courtroom very often, if ever.

[yeahYeah]

rick warren said in an interview...that Obama's constitutional lawyer background was evident...WTH?!?!?!?!?!
