PBS alters transcript to hide Obama gaffe

Barack Obama has gone to Congress asking for more money to spend. The President, in a rambling and tedious exercise mixing blame with demands, made quite a few dubious statements in laying out the case for Congress to vote for the plan which as yet does not exist. Much like Obamacare, Congress must ultimately vote for the bill to know what is in it.

At one point Mr. Obama made a major gaffe; he identified Abraham Lincoln as the founder of the Republican Party.

Lincoln did not join the Republicans until 1856, over two years after the party was founded. The first Republican convention was held in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854.

Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.

Tass or PBS??? Government "news agencies" always do what they are told.

Mr. Obama made a major gaffe; he identified Abraham Lincoln as the founder of the Republican Party.

This is totally wrong and everyone on FR knows it....whomever wrote the speech made the mistake Zero was clueless as to this historic fact he only reads what they put in front of him.

PBS willingly LIES and leads a civil war
against Americans urging Obama to CRACK HEADS.

"PRESIDENT OBAMA: And this week, .... we're going to be doing is bringing some of them into the White House and --
JIM LEHRER: To crack heads?"

---

"To crack heads?" Lehrer asks.
"Oh, I don't know about cracking heads," Obama said, "facilitating a discussion that solves these problems." "

"PBS's Lehrer Badgers Obama from the Left: What About Banks' 'Huge Profits?'
By Matthew Balan | July 21, 2009 - 11:56
"PBS's Jim Lehrer ... urged the executive to "crack heads"
to get his health care plan passed, and inquired if "taxing the wealthy" was an option to fund it.
Lehrer later pressed Mr. Obama on the "huge profits" being made by "big Wall Street banks.""

Obama:
“They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”

Obama to His Followers:
“Get in Their Faces!”

Obama on ACORN Mobs:
“I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”

Obama to His Mercenary Army:
“Hit Back Twice As Hard”

Obama on the private sector:
“We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“

Obama to voters:
Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”

Obama to lib supporters:
“It’s time to Fight for it.”

Obama to Latino supporters:
“Punish your enemies.”

Obama to democrats:
“I’m itching for a fight.”

PBS is biased? WHO KNEW?

[ClearCase_guy]

For Republicans? -- They fact-check the hell out of anything we say.

For Democrats? -- The correct mis-statements and provide cover for anything that might prove to be embarrassing.

But I mean, it isn’t like he got Elvis’ birthday wrong...

Thanks radioone.

Major Gaffe would an excellent nickname for Zero, apart from the fact that he's never served in the military, and apparently washed out of the paramilitary during his "vacation" in Pakistan.

Residents of all 57 states recognize the unparalleled brilliance of the current occupant of the White House.

[Magnatron]

I’m becoming more and more convinced that Obama is not this “evil genius” everyone makes him out to be. I honestly think the guy is just a lazy idiot. Oh sure, he would LOVE to change the way our country operates, but I think he’s too lazy and too stupid to get everything done that he wants to.

...and looking at what he’s accomplished so far, thank God he’s only a lazy idiot.

[stevio]

Are we still paying for PBS? Isn’t congress going to stop funding?

[samtheman]

Evil or stupid? That’s the question.

Here’s the answer:

Evil and stupid.

[steelyourfaith]

Intervation puh-leeze ... isn't there anyone in Obama's posse with an appreciation for basic facts that can stop him from his addiction to chronic gaffes?

Waiting for the next lame stream media lackey to proclaim Obama a genius for this latest oratorical faux pas.

[Ted Grant]

Anyone (left or right) who considered Obama to be any kind of genius is remarkably gullible.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

[Beaten Valve]

He’s as clueless about history as he is about leadership...

[Jack Hydrazine]

Look at how the Leftist media jumped all over Palin in regards to being wrong about Paul Revere’s ride because of their own ignorance.

[cotton1706]

Well, he was one of the founders of the Republican party of Illinois, where Obama’s from.

[Pontiac]

Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.

Because they know he is a light weight. But he is their light weight.

[freeangel]

“Zero was clueless as to this historic fact he only reads what they put in front of him.”

Why would the president poser, who has no ties to this country other than his birth mother, have a grasp of any history of the US?

[Erik Latranyi]

I’m becoming more and more convinced that Obama is not this “evil genius” everyone makes him out to be. I honestly think the guy is just a lazy idiot.

I agree.

Look at his non-stop vacations....he has never held a real job that required his attention 40 hours a week (let alone the job of POTUS that is 24/7).

Look at his indifference to the economy and unemployment and high prices.....he cannot mentally connect how those will affect the outcome of the election.

Look at his statements.....blaming everyone and taking no responsibility himself.....this is a sign of a man who has NEVER had to take responsibility for ANYTHING. This is not a man who steps forward and volunteers to face the tough problems, this is a man who throws comments from the sidelines.

Look at his policies.....they are aimless, generic policies without a clear focus......money for teachers.....money for infrastructure.....money for hiring one-eyed, minority veterans from small towns with spitoons....every policy is just a "throw money over there" policy.

Finally, look at his leadership.....there is none. This man was elected with a wide margin of victory, had veto-proof majorities in Congress and could not lead his party to pass anything other than the stimulus. Healthcare was rammed through using procedures. The weakest leader would have gone up to Congress and beaten his party into following him.......this man was AWOL.

The best thing I tell liberals is this: You should be furious with Obama. You worked hard to elect him and you worked hard to give him massive majorities in Congress, yet he squandered all that by never leading his party. The President is the leader of the party and Obama did not step up, instead he went golfing. You could have had single-payer, nationalization of industries and everything else on your agenda in the first 100 days. Instead, you heard speeches and nothing happened except the clock ticked by.

Not one liberal disagrees with that. It totally demotivates them.
