The Fine Line Between Pandering and Lying[ Hinderaker at Powerline catches a major lie by Obama ]
John Hinderaker catches Senator Obama INVENTING A COMMITTEE POSITION HE NEVER HAD, while engaging in his usual doublespeak about Jerusalem remaining “undivided.”
Excerpt:
“In Sderot today, Obama didn’t say anything about Jerusalem being the Palestinian capital, but he essentially repeated, not his original call for a Jerusalem that ‘must’ be ‘undivided,’ but his mushier fall-back position. In doing so, he not only failed to acknowledge, but specifically denied, that this was a change from his AIPAC call for a Jerusalem that ‘must remain undivided.’
Obama continued:
‘Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don’t have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon.’
But Obama is not a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Obama just made that up so he could count the committee’s action as one of ‘my deeds.’”
