The Obama Campaign admitted yesterday that Barack Obama did vote against a bill as an Illinois State Senator that would have required babies born alive after attempted abortions be given life-saving care. As recently as Saturday, Obama had indignantly denied (see video) that he had or would ever have voted against such a bill. He claimed the bill he voted against was not identical to Federal Legislation he said "everyone" would support. Turns out, his campaign now admits he did vote against "identical legislation" on the Illinois state level:
His campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state Senate, and a spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said the senator and other lawmakers had concerns that even as worded, the legislation could have undermined existing Illinois abortion law. Those concerns did not exist for the federal bill, because there is no federal abortion law.Indeed, Mr. Obama appeared to misstate his position in the CBN interview on Saturday when he said the federal version he supported "was not the bill that was presented at the state level."
In other words - Obama has been lying all these years about voting to keep infanticide in Illinois legal. He feigned indignation when asked about it two days ago, and now is having to admit he helped keep the heinous practice of allowing babies to die for lack of care just to protect the altar of Abortion on Demand. And this is the man who wants us to trust him to confront evil in our world.
Obama will say anything to be elected, even say that he was never a Muslim.
I think it passed Congress by over 90 votes.
...and Obama says he doesn't know when life begins?? POS!!!
That is the definition of a compulsive liar. It’s everyone else that is at fault and “attacking” them for exposing their lie.
Obama is a narcissist not just because of an arrogant nature, but by a true psychological disorder.
The Narcissistic Personality Disorder: An individual with narcissistic personality disorder exhibits extreme self-importance, inability to empathize with others and heightened sensitivity to criticism. Self-involvement and lack of empathy characterize this personality disorder.
People with narcissistic personality disorder are frequently perfectionists and need to be the center of attention, receiving affection and admiration, and controlling the situation. To get the attention he craves, he may try to create crises that return the focus to him.
Like patients with antisocial personality disorder, this person places entitlement issues at the fore. He feels that the world owes him, regardless of whether he makes a contribution.
Symptoms:
Overreacts to criticism, becoming angry or humiliated
Uses others to reach goals
Exaggerates own importance
Entertains unrealistic fantasies about achievements, power, beauty, intelligence or romance
Has unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment
Needs constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
Is easily jealous
One reason the state law didn’t conform exactly to the federal law is that Obama was chairman of the committee overseeing it, and refused to allow introduction of an amendment that would have made it conform. He was pro-pre birth abortion, period. If he doesn’t have the guts to admit that now, he’s a coward and not fit for the Office of President. It’s way above his pay grade.
I read about that interview. Horrifying information.
"Uh, That's not the bill I knew."
Here's a link to the bill itself. I believe you can follow internal links to find the votes.
Thanks. A while back someone posted a link that had a transcript of Obama’s floor speech against the bill.
Anyone have that?
“Sean Hannity interviewed the nurse who testified to Obama’s commitee. She reported the death of the babies which were left to die in the soil linen closet of the hospital, if they survived the abortions. These babies,with lungs that were not fully formed, would die of asphyxiation.”
Someone needs to grab this clip and make TV spot.

I would think the least of these would include the unborn.
I don’t. You might do a search of threads on Obama and go back a few pages...
It does not appear that CBN has picked this up yet.
There is no “swiftboating” IF IT IS THE TRUTH!.
Prayers for the unborn.
Actually, Swift Boating is usually defined as using truth against your opponent. Anyone, like Barry, who claimed to have been "Swift Boated" i.e. a victim of Swift Boating is simply whining that the truth (facts, record, reality, factual recollection, evidence) is not on their side.
This should help.
“allowing babies to die for lack of care just to protect the altar of Abortion on Demand”
To allow an infant to die of neglect just to protect Roe v Wade is total madness. What is next allowing kids born with a disability be allowed to die because it will save on health care expenditures.
He will lose many many Democrats and Independents over this one alone. This is not a question of choice this is murder plain and simple.
