Also - Obama said he would “confront” evil.

That wasn’t even one of the choices!

Obama is only a two year senator, correct? Then how could he have voted on the Iraq War years before that?

He said back then that he doesn’t know how he would have voted because he wasn’t in the Senate and didn’t have access to the same reports - now he claims he firmly opposed it from the start. Both cannot be true.

Oh I’m sure it is just fine with the MSM that Obama said his most gut-wrenching moment was his decision to vote against the Iraq War....when he never did get to “vote” because he was not in the US Senate at the time but a member of the State Senate of ILL. Everyone knows Obama has trouble remembering where he was and of course did not keep records when he was a state senator.....like in 1999 or in 2002.

Here’s the “QUESTIONS THAT AS I SPOKE TO EXPERTS KEPT ON COMING UP”
lie from the transcript;

http://www.rickwarrennews.com/transcript/civil_forum_transcript-01.txt

1 AT THE TIME THAT WE DID NOT HAVE STRONG EVIDENCE OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT AS I SPOKE TO EXPERTS KEPT ON COMING UP,

**
**
Me Again,
Where did those question come up, Senator Obama? Trinity?

Example: Joe Bidens observations;

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/17/1204594.aspx

On Aug. 1, 2007, when Obama unveiled his counterterrorism agenda, the Biden camp fired off a snarky email congratulating him for his “Johnny-come-lately position” on Afghanistan, noting that during two Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan and other subjects, Obama didn’t ask questions about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or Afghanistan.

That’s just it, Obama never was engaged in the issue, yet he claims questions ‘kept coming up’, and the Biden earlier posted comment shows Obama questions weren’t ‘coming up’ in the Senate at that time.

Comments about Obama being ‘intellectual’ and ‘thoughtful’ are void of reality. Obama embellished, lied.

What is Compulsive Lying?

By Derek Wood, RN, BC, MS

There are a number of reasons that people lie. The first is fear. This is the most common reason that people may lie, and they are taking shelter from a perceived punishment. It may be because they know they have done something wrong a single time, in which case it is not compulsive lying.

But if they are always in fear of being punished, it may become a habit, which is a second reason for lying. In this case, it may become compulsive lying, which is lying by reflex. Even when confronted by the truth, they insist the lie is the truth in this case.

A third case is learning to lie through modeling. When a people see others lie, especially when they get away with it, they may become more prone to lying.

Finally, people lie because they feel if they tell the truth they won’t get what they want. Thus, out of the main reasons for lying, only lying by habit can truly be called “compulsive lying.”

Increased lying has been seen with a number of psychiatric diagnoses such as ADHD and Bipolar Disorder. With ADHD people will often say “I don’t know why I did that”, and when confronted about why they lied, their answer will be the same.

ADHD children also display impulsivity, and they may lie implusively. Bipolar Disorder can be associated with low serotonin levels, which has been implicated in impulsivity, which, as indicated before, makes a person more prone to lie.

Don’t get too excited over the 500 tons of yellowcake - Iraq admitted to having it years before the war - it acquired in in the late 1980s- and the IAEA put it under seal when they began inspections after the Gulf War.

While a lot of people pointed to it and said “aHA!” it was not a “See, I told you so” find.

Of more import was Iraq’s reconstruction of old facilities, construction of new facilities, inquiries into purchasing additional unsealed uranium, purchase of tubing for centrifuges, mobile labs, preservation of pathogen strains, retention of documents, blueprints and prototypes for centrifuges, the activities of its scientists in Libya, the fact that its long range missile development program was well ahead of what our intel suspected, its drones and spraying devices, and so on.

He also claims to have workd with McCain on the McCain Feingold CFR. He wasn’t in the Senate then either.

The man’s gut wrenching decision is something that had no impact on Obama, his family, the nation, or anyone at all.

"You do everything you can to get that decision right," Obama said. "All those questions surrounding the war have been very difficult for me."

Tonight with Rick Warren, Obawon-calliope said this:
Obama said the most gut-wrenching decision of his life was to vote against the Iraq War. McCain said it was when he declined an offer to leave a prison camp in Vietnam.
Obama didn't vote against the Iraq War. He wasn't even in the Senate! Am I missing something here? Did he somehow qualify this to make it true? Or was it simply made up?

Even if it didn't happen, we can be certain it is seared into his memory.
