Michelle Obama Lied to Olympic Committee???

[theshadow3581]

Michelle Obama gave a tear-jerker of a speech during which she recounted that she sat on her father's lap while watching Carl Lewis' triumphs in the Olympics.

But Carl Lewis's first Olympics was in 1984 when Michelle Obama was 20 years old.

So either there was something weird going on between her and her father or she was flat-out lying.

[Vendome]

Was her dad dead in 1984 or is he a pervert?

[al baby]

So thats how it is in her family

[cripplecreek]

I’m guessing it was flat out lying since that’s what she and Hubby have always done.

[SolidWood]

Touche! The whole presentation was a smelly, disingenous lie-fest.

[al baby]

could be both

[FreeStateYank]

The Zero’s are congenital liars. Remember Michelle speaking of college loans...which are mysteriously absent on all tax returns going back to 2000?

[Boiling Pots]

I think her “taking the gloves off” statement didn’t sit too well with the IOC. Kind of reinforces the vulgar American stereotype.

[comps4spice]

I would go with the lying. Liberals ascribe to revolutionary truth—which means whatever the heck they want it to mean depending on the circumstances.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Regardless of what was on TV, the deeper issue here is WTF was she doing on her dads lap at age 20?

Let's talk about the seriesness of the charges....

[Mercat]

Sort of like Hillary being named after Edmund Hillary who was an unknown beekeeper when she was born.

[Jemian]

Does the sun shine?

Is water wet?

Do fish swim?

I think we know the answer.

[Sarajevo]

The ZER-0’s lie? Tell me it isn’t so!

[Voter#537]

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! ! ! ! ! !

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

She misremembered. She was on the lap of Sir Edmund Hillary.

[HospiceNurse]

The Dims are the party of lawyers, by lawyers, and for lawyers. Truth is a tool abandoned when it gets dull. They will say anything, do anything. Winning is all that matters.

[Dumpster Baby]

They were just sharing some Pander Pie.

[EternalVigilance]

Or Bubba’s “memories” of churches burning in AR, even though none did.

[Hardastarboard]

I heard her say that they flew into Copenhagen under fire, with the pilot twisting and dodging to avoid being shot down.

[Josa]

going blank and it’s driving me crazy. Which movie was that line from? “So that’s how it is in her family?”

[savedbygrace]

Aren’t there still questions about whether Lewis violated the IOC’s drug rules? Yet, MO said he had been perfect in the Games.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Touche! The whole presentation was a smelly, disingenous lie-fest.

Not even good lies. Next time you lie, use better lies, Michelle.

[missnry]

Ewwwwwwwwww.

[jennyjenny]

Did she talk about the time she was captured by Somali pirates?

[pnh102]

Considering that Hillary Clinton said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though he climbed Mt. Everest in 1953 and she was born in 1947... this sort of thing would not surprise me at all.

[SolidWood]

She was conquered by a Kenyan buccaneer.

[BlueStateBlues]

This is soooo racist. Why can’t a 20 year old black woman sit on her daddy’s lap, all comfort like, leaping up and down in excitement as Carl Lewis races for another gold, squirming in anticipation at Lewis’s prowess in the long jump. Daddy, Lewis is verrrrryyyyyy fast. So stop being racis’, hear?

[Dutch Boy]

Whenever a politician, especially a democrat politician tells a story of their youth that just happens to fit the current topic it is usually a lie. They must be called to task for it every time. We will no longer stand for this.

[SampleMan]

And notice that in her mind, it was a positive that she and her father only watched the black athletes.

[Vendome]

Oooohh!

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

Lewis violated the IOC’s drug rules?

Lewis: ‘Who cares I failed drug test?’
Duncan Mackay The Guardian, Thursday 24 April 2003

Carl Lewis has broken his silence on allegations that he was the beneficiary of a drugs cover-up, admitting he had tested positive for banned substances but claiming he was just one of “hundreds” of American athletes who were allowed to escape bans.

“There were hundreds of people getting off,” he said. “Everyone was treated the same.”

Lewis has now acknowledged that he failed three tests during the 1988 US Olympic trials, which under international rules at the time should have prevented him from competing in the Seoul games two months later.

The admission is a further embarrassment for the United States Olympic Committee, which had initially denied claims that 114 positive tests between 1988 and 2000 were covered up. It will add weight to calls by leading anti-doping officials and top athletes for an independent inquiry into the US’s record on drug issues. snip

[MrDem]

You people are being too hard on her. I’m sure the White House will issue a correction and say it was Jesse Owens, not Carl Lewis.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

How was she to know that Joe Wilson was on the IOC Site Selection Committee?

[Sherman Logan]

Or Bill being appalled by the massive (non-existent) burning of black churches when he was a child.

[Joe Boucher]

With her big ole shelf ass if she sat on her pappys lap she’d crush the poor guy.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You’d think that folks would not try to make up stories on the fly that can be debunked. It could have been some different Olympic star she watched while “sitting on her father’s lap.” You know, like FDR’s fireside chats on TV? (Oops, radio)

[uncbob]

Her speech writers are totally clueless and so is she

[Canedawg]

Was her dad dead in 1984 or is he a pervert?

He's a big fan of Polanski and Lecherman.

[NotSoModerate]

She lied for America, is the pass the msm will give her. Remember she sacrificed a lot to get the games in Chicago. ;)

[CriticalJ]

Maybe this lap thing has resulted in issues that are responsible for being so angry all of the time.

[Joe Boucher]

Oh my goodness HospiceNurse,
That is possibly the nastiest thing I’ve ever heard anyone say about the Democrat party, “The Dims are the party of lawyers, by lawyers, and for lawyers”.
Good job.

Also on a personal note, I had to release my grandparents over to Hospice their last two days each.
They were the most compassionate folks I’ve ever had to deal with.
In a most difficult time they were just wonderful.
Must be hard though.

[Ezekiel]

So either there was something weird going on between her and her father or she was flat-out lying.

Grandmother dies. Goes to Chicago. Makes perfect sense.

[edzo4]

or Al Gore saying is mom used to sing look for the union label when he went to sleep, although the song wasn’t written till he was 27 years old

[rwa265]

Maybe she was thinking of Jesse Owens.

[al baby]

Ferris Bueler the principle watching sloan kissing ferris who is dressed like her Daddy getting into the Ferrari GT Californian

[Ann Archy]

She’s a DEMOCRAT....they ALL LIE!!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

As old as she looks, I could believe it was 1936 when
she sat on her fathers lap and watched Jesse Owens in
color on their 30 inch TV.

ME BAD!

[jennyjenny]

Well, her dad had multiple sclerosis so IF it happened, it probably wasn’t quite like you describe.

[Batrachian]

Which movie was that line from? “So that’s how it is in her family?

Ferris Buehler's Day Off.

[al baby]

maybe it was Jim thorpe
