Army of Dog

Our Lord and Savior Senator Obama lied through his pearly whites about a questionnaire that he filled out in 1996.

During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion — positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he has projected during his presidential campaign.

The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group’s detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his 1996 bid for a state Senate seat.

Late last year, in response to a Politico story about Obama’s answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he “never saw or approved” the questionnaire.

They asserted the responses were filled out by a campaign aide who “unintentionally mischaracterize[d] his position.”

But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago nonprofit group that issued it. And it found that Obama — the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added to one answer.

Now we have him dead to rights! He is betrayed by his own hand! Blah, blah, blah, who gives a shit. Perhaps I’m cynical, but somehow I don’t see the legions of Obamaniacs suddenly becoming disillusioned because their sainted leader “misspoke” about whether or not he saw a questionnaire from ten years ago.

I could certainly be wrong, but it seems to me that half of Obama’s supporters would still vote for him if video surfaced showing him having a three-way with Al Sharpton and a goat. The other half get most of their news from The Daily Show and really like the idea that voting for the black guy makes them ahead of their time.
