Above His Pay Grade To Tell The Truth

clipped from hotair.com

In this version, Obama finally acknowledges that the bill he shot down as committee chair had the neutrality clause, but now he voted against it because it would have had some deleterious effect on abortion law.  As the NRLC points out to Berman, that’s flat-out untrue.  The neutrality clause Obama now acknowledge existed in the law explicitly stated that the law had no intent on affecting abortions in which the fetus did not survive; that was the entire point of the neutrality clause.  Even without it, in the language of the original bill, the law clearlt stated that it only applied to infants born alive.

So Obama lied, and in typical fashion for liars, lashed out at the people who exposed the lie before finally acknowledging it.  He told David Brody in his CBN interview taped Saturday that he found it “offensive” that people pushed him on this issue, and 24 hours later the campaign folded on the point.
