Crush Liberalism

comPost notices Obama’s Kennedy/Selma lies…a year later!

It seems like it was just this time last year when I posted something on Obama’s shameless lies about (a) the Kennedys bringing his family to America and (b) Selma bringing his parents together (and his resulting Immaculate Conception).

Wait a minute.  It was this time last year!  And the leftist rag known as the Washington comPost is just now getting around to reporting on it?  Observes Capt. Ed:

This exposes Obama as a politician who plays fast and loose with his life story to transform himself into whatever his audience wants to see. For those who want to see a post-racial candidate, he downplays race as an issue. When in Chicago, he hangs out with radicals like Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and Bernadette Dohrn for authenticity. For Democrats wanting a return to JFK, he ties himself to the Kennedys in a false and strangely sexual manner. And for those who want a candidate with civil-rights movement credentials, he offers the same kind of connection to a famous march that obviously had nothing to do with his birth.

In other words, Barack Obama is a phony. Had the media that covered his speech in Selma in March 2007 thought to do the math, Democrats could have figured this out nine months before the first primary contests. Now they’re stuck with him — unless the superdelegates want to hand the nomination to the Tuzla Dash candidate instead. 

It can be argued that it’s the typical liberal media bias to which we’ve grown accustomed, but in this case (since they did report it, albeit a year late), I think it may just be grotesque laziness and incompetence…not that it’s any better.

Exit question: How can Hillary make any hay out of this, considering her recent “misstatements” about Tuzla?
