Campaign Admits Obama Lied About Abortion Vote, Media Asleep
Publius' Forum ^ | 08/18/08 | Warner Todd Huston

Question: Isn't it big news when a leading candidate for president of the U.S. admits that since 2003 he has been lying about a vote he once made? Even more to the point, isn't it big news when the candidate himself was on TV not long before that admission saying that everyone else is the liar? So, why is the media silent on the 180 degree about face that the Obama campaign has just made concerning Obama's BAIP vote?

As I reported on August 13, the media pretty much ignored the great work by Jill Stanek in uncovering the truth that contradicted nearly 6 years of claims that Obama made concerning his vote on the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act when he was in the Illinois State Senate. Obama claimed that the Federal "neutrality clause" wasn't in the Illinois bill and that if it were he would have voted for the bill instead of against it. Stanek proved that the exact same clause Obama said wasn't in the bill was actually placed in the bill by the very committee Obama chaired. Yet he still voted against it.

Since the August 13 report, Obama was a guest with CBN's David Brody File where he told the world that anyone who doubts his word on his Illinois BAIP vote is a "liar."

Here in part is what Obama told David Brody in Saturday's August 16 interview...

Well, since the media have been pretty much covering for him all this time (by not reporting it, or, when they had to, help BO in denying it), isn’t BO now throwing the media under the bus?

**Question: Isn’t it big news when a leading candidate for president of the U.S. admits that since 2003 he has been lying about a vote he once made? **

Can you imagine if McCain did this? The media would have it plastered everywhere — on every broadcast!

I was just granted an exclusive one on one interview with Barack Obama here at the Saddleback Civil Forum. CBN News was the only media outlet to go behind the scenes and conduct an interview. It happened literally two minutes after Obama walked off the stage...
Obama: And I hate to say that people are lying, but here’s a situation where folks are lying. - http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/429313.aspx

You can say that Obama, despite claiming to be a Christian, outright lied in Saddleback church.
