In reversal, Obama says he lived with uncle
Boston Globe

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Short version: The White House claimed Obama never met his illegal alien uncle that he lived with for three weeks.

So either the White House was lying and got caught by Obama's uncle's candor or their press office is so incompetent that they can't be trusted to get the truth.    Take your pick.

Who gives a sh**t?

I'm so tired of Republican idiots who think this is all just a game of war where GOTCHA is the ultimate victory.

Try again, Cinyc.

This goes directly to the administrations' credibility, which has taken a beating after Obama's "if you like your plan you can keep your plan" lie.  Ignore it at your own peril.

LOL, a Republican talking about credibility?  Someone post in the comedy goldmine ASAP!

Get out of the FoxNews Teabaggerfest for a moment.  You'll find we ignore this stuff at our own convenience... not our own peril.

The political atmosphere of 1994 was a long time ago.  Things have changed.  You haven't.  But things have.

But its not like its important at all. Its just more lies.

It may be entirely possible for Barack Obama to have lived with his uncle and for the White House to have had no record or documentation of Barack having met Omar before the latter testified in court about the matter. It would be a clever bit of deception, but both of these statements may certainly have been true when they were, respectively, made:

1. "The White House has no record of Barack Obama having met his uncle".
2. "I (Barack Obama) have met my uncle".

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

So the White House Press Office flubbed something that happened over thirty years ago?

Treason, I say.

The article I quoted is from the Boston Globe, not Fox News.  And please stop the needless personal attacks.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Maybe Obama really was palling around with terrorists!

[Zioneer]

Oh no, there was a miscommunication or embarrassed sweeping under the rug of an event that happened 30 years ago! Woe to the Obama administration!

Seriously though, literally no one cares but you.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I could care less. As if Obama lying is anything new....

Personal attack?  It was a pertinent observation of your political ideology.  In short, you are 1994 redux.

Or was it because I accused you of being n the fox news teabaggersphere?
I don't care if the article came from Daily Kos... the only people who care about this are people like you.

It's a completely stupid story that's a non-issue, but it does highlight the fact that Obama's Administration has been terrible at PR.  He's a great speaker; his administration's PR skills... not so much.

[DrScholl]

Get over it, the man is President. Not McCain. Not Romney. Not Bush. Not Palin. OBAMA IS PRESIDENT, GET THE HELL OVER IT.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Onyango sure does. Letting a future president come to stay with you has got to be a plus when it comes to avoiding deportation.  But the White House press office did not care about it enough 2 years ago to ask the President about it. I wonder what records if any they checked back then.

Will the conspiracy theorists be disappointed when they learn that the uncle was living in Massachusetts at the time?

[bedstuy]

This is another Presidenting-while-black/foreign charge.

Obama isn't descended from Miles Standish.  Get over it.

It's only fair since you guys did it for 8 years w/Bush. Now when Obama does the same exact things you do a complete 180. Some consistency there isn't it?

I'm just treating the people full of nonsense exactly like what they are, immature.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

We've known Obama's press office is a mess and Carney is a joke but this isn't a big whup.

Obama's uncle is not the issue, and the Tea Party hated Obama long before he beat Romney, so the election mention was rather pointless as well. Obama lied. He lied over a simple, minor thing, but he lied. It's not like he lied over Iraqi WMDs, or tapes in the Oval Office, like some in my own party have, but he still lied. Thats the story here, and everyone should be zoning in on that instead of calling him a Kenyan Marxist or screaming "WE WON, WHO CARES."

If Double Down is correct, his administration is rather tumultuous. It also is plagued by leakers.

I see this forum accurately reflects Washington DC's idea of political civility.

Oh no, not at all.  There are plenty of people on this site with differing views and the point is to call BS when you see BS.

Cinyc's race baiting and hand waving here deserves nothing more than to be ridiculed and ultimately ignored.

Otherwise Cinyc does make good contributions to the forum... occasionally.

He was trolling with this thread.  Then he got butthurt because I "attacked" him.

I'd say this:  If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

And welcome to Atlas, BradyNH  You'll find we snarl and hiss now and then... but we're really a tight knit community at the end of the day (I suppose that is a lot like Washington DC)
