Hillary Clinton got caught in a lie when she said she had dodged sniper fire during a 1996 visit to Bosnia. Now her Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama has been caught in a “sniper fire” lie of his own.
During Thursday’s debate in Pennsylvania, Obama was asked why he doesn’t wear an American flag lapel pin, as do many other politicians as well as servicemen and law enforcement officials.
“I have never said that I don’t wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins,” he responded.
“That is the kind of manufactured issue that our politics has become obsessed with.”
But Obama did indeed declare that he does not wear flag pins, Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times noted.
During a campaign stop in Iowa last October, a reporter asked Obama why he wasn’t wearing a flag pin to express solidarity with 9/11 victims.
This is what Obama said back then: “You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of important to our national security. I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest.”

You know after all this if he wears it he doesn’t want to. I rather have him not wear the flag. It soils it.

LOL — good point!
The problem with lying is remembering your lies.
All the while he isn’t wearing the pin. He’s a real piece of ........... work.
That requires help from satan, which might be confusing to him.
Excellent.
It’s really tough to believe that the Democrats couldn’t find anyone better than Billary or Obama? We have over 300 million people here for pete’s sake and we couldn’t find better? A lieing,screaming, bobbing head witch and a half white, flag hating nut? Where’s George Patton when you need him? Does this country even make those guys any more?
...and it really doesn’t matter...’cause Bush and Cheney are satan.
Hypocrats don’t even hear what Obamalamadingdong (or Shrillary) says.
Jay Leno’s jaywalkers will vote for the hypocrat because of what they hear on Letterman.
Seriously.
And God help us if ObamaNATION OF ISLAM or Shrill are elected, once they wreck the entire word, not just the country, that too will ultimately be Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rummy’s fault.
The hypocrat party: champions of the mentally ill and possessed.
Someone posted prior that all of us, Dems and Pubs should just agree to a do over. We all made big mistakes and since it’s both sides, there should be not much argument.
Sorry I can’t give credit to the original poster but I can’t find the post in the search.
"Don't wear the pin!"
"Wear the pin!"
"Don't wear the pin!"
"Wear the pin!"
Y'all been hoodwinked. Bamboozled up in here.
Isn’t that the truth? Politics sure attracts the big chunks floating on the cesspool.
