"oops!!!"

I am really tired of hearing about Hillary's "oops" moment over the sniper fire landing as if she is the only candidate ever to embellish an event. Some have given it as much attention as the anti-american, racist, hate-filled words of Rev. Wright and that is ridiculous. So I thought you would all enjoy an Obama "oops" moment because believe me, there are many. He actually used this when on stage with the Kennedy clan during their big endorsement of his candidacy. Mmmm, lying (overstating or embellishing --whatever!!) right up there in front of his benefactors and the whole world about an important family connection to the Kennedys'. All we needed was the "duck and run" visual. This is from the Tayor Marsh website which I had to copy because my computer linking skills are not up to speed yet. Here it is.....

There Goes Camelot

Obama had to finally admit that when it comes to John F. Kenney and his father, OOPS applies.

Contrary to Obama's claims in speeches in January at American University and in Selma last year, the Kennedy family did not provide the funding for a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama's father. According to historical records and interviews with participants, the Kennedys were first approached for support for the program nearly a year later, in July 1960. The family responded with a $100,000 donation, most of which went to pay for a second airlift in September 1960. Obama spokesman Bill Burton acknowledged yesterday that the senator from Illinois had erred in crediting the Kennedy family with a role in his father's arrival in the United States. He said the Kennedy involvement in the Kenya student program apparently "started 48 years ago, not 49 years ago as Obama has mistakenly suggested in the past." ... .. Obama's Selma speech offers a very confused chronology of both the Kenya student program and the civil rights movement. Relating the story of how his parents met, Obama said: "There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Junior was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama." ... .. Obama Overstates Kennedys' Role in Helping His Father

Mistakes happen. So maybe the Obama team will cool it when thinking Clinton is the only one who ever makes a biographical mistake. I'm sure the media and the Obama blogs will jump right on this one.
