Title: A Fundamental Problem With The Truth
Post by: Conan71 on May 18, 2012, 02:20:47 PM
So, a book publisher's biography of Barrack Obama says:

Quote

The simmering political row over President Obama's heritage was dramatically reignited today as a 1991 booklet boldly announced that the Democrat was 'born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.'

In the cover for a 1991 promotional booklet by Mr Obama's then-publisher Acton & Dystel, he is as 'the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, (who) was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.'

The information, which could be used as more ammunition against the incumbent, comes months before what will likely be a close campaign between Mr Obama and likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

The 36-page promotional booklet was exclusively obtained by Breitbart, and was sent out to colleagues within the publishing industry in the early 1990s.

He's been an African native when it was convenient?  I wonder what other whoppers he's told to get to where he's at and what he wants?

Would you have a problem if Romney padded his resume?

After 3 years we realize that President Obama is a mile wide on every issue and only an inch deep.  Reviving the birther controversy is probably exactly what Axelrod wants.  I heard Rove the other day make some commentary to the effect that President Obama and his advisors best strategy in this election will be to present a moving target so that he doesn't have to focus on his record.  They will jump from subject to subject, and revive every old controversy in an attempt to keep the debate shallow.

Quick, frequent, and controversial stances that blossom and fade in a few days so that everyone is kept off kilter. That way by the time the Romney camp responds the dialogue has already changed.

Not really...I have a problem with his constant change of position along with his inability to stay consistent with his lies stories and his past acts of leadership.

Etch a sketchers bother me more than the puffers.  ;)

Because promotional materials, especially those by publishers, are always accurate.

You guys got a lot of "Okie" in 'ya.
