No Rippin' Good Cookies for 'The Won'!
Posted on 09/10/2011 5:28:35 AM PDT by radioone
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.

Love the White House Insider interviews. Have you seen the latest? Ulsterman now has a “Wall Street Insider.”
MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history...."
PBS is just advancing the cause.
And she was RIGHT.
This is what pisses me off so much about the so-called "entertainment industry." Repeat a blatant lie enough and even the people who should know better begin to believe it.
This is great. After many, many comments from readers, PBS has put the full text of his speech back into their story.
Wow.
Obama to bankers and Wall Street:
“I’m the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”
The union pitchforks are already out and holding hostages.
It was not only PBS that omitted “Founder of the Republican Party” from the transcript.

Today PBS is claiming that they posted the advance copy of the speech that the White House put out, not the actual speech itself. Looks like Fox News did the same.
WI ping
Ripon, WI mentioned, as Obumbler gets it wrong again.

Perhaps he meant to say that Lincoln founded the Republican Party in those seven states than only he is aware of.
Thank you for responding and correcting that false idea that Sarah ever said that, when it was Tina Fey on SNL.
I am disappointed that anyone on FR thinks that was a valid Palin quote, when it was the MSM attacking her again.
I hope they have to call her President someday.
I will finally tune into liberal “news” shows if she becomes president, just to see them weep.
Whoa Ponygirl...whoa! Don’t take it personally. If I need correcting I can accept that, but don’t ram it down my throat. Easy girl.
Still, in fairness I wouldn’t call that a “major gaffe”. I always thought he did found the Republican Party. So he didn’t. Big deal.
I am sure it is being edited out of the videos too
Pretty much crap. Crap history. Crap writing. It's as if she confused Lincoln with Nancy Drew. How does this Loonie Left Bimbo get away with it?
If I had not read it, there would be absolutely no way for me to learn what the man actually said from the MSM. No sound bites, no stories, no nuthin’.
This speech was so bad, the MSM has decided that it never happened!
“Are we still paying for PBS? Isn’t congress going to stop funding?”
I’m beginning to wonder if we actually won the cold war, or were simply fooled into thinking that we did.
If I had not read it, there would be absolutely no way for me to learn what the man actually said from the MSM. No sound bites, no stories, no nuthin’.

I wonder if any record of it will exist in a year.
Obama: “a Republican president who mobilized government to build the transcontinental railroad”
Another history flub by Zero (or his Tell ‘Em Prompter).
Government did NOT build the transcontinental railroad.
