According the team of researchers at Obama WTF? , during the debate on Wednesday night, Senator Obama told his 28th verifiable lie, an all-time record for any candidate campaigning for President in the United States. Its worth noting that Senator Obama has not only told the most verifiable lies but he has also broken all previous records with 201 days to go in the campaign.
WAtch video below from Iowa, which shows candidate Obama state "I decided that I wont wear THAT pin on my chest, instead etc" .
errr...that pin, Senator, has a name...but I digress.
Last Wednesday night, candidate Obama stated, when given a softball question about his lack of patriotism intended to allow him to bring to an end the sincere and serious concerns about his love of country, "I never said I wouldn't wear a flag pin." Oh yes you did, Senator Obama, and above we have the video to prove it.
Here's the transcript of what Obama said in the debate before Pennsylvania
NASH MCCABE (Latrobe, Pennsylvania): (From videotape.) Senator Obama, I have a question, and I want to know if you believe in the American flag. I am not questioning your patriotism, but all our servicemen, policemen and EMS wear the flag. I want to know why you don't.
MR. GIBSON: Just to add to that, I noticed you put one on yesterday. But -- you've talked about this before, but it comes up again and again when we talk to voters. And as you may know, it is all over the Internet. And it's something of a theme that Senators Clinton and McCain's advisers agree could give you a major vulnerability if you're the candidate in November. How do you convince Democrats that this would not be a vulnerability?
SENATOR OBAMA: Well, look, I revere the American flag, and I would not be running for president if I did not revere this country. This is -- I would not be standing here if it wasn't for this country.
And I've said this -- again, there's no other country in which my story is even possible; somebody who was born to a teenage mom, raised by a single mother and grandparents from small towns in Kansas, you know, who was able to get an education and rise to the point where I can run for the highest office in the land. I could not help but love this country for all that it's given me.
And so what I've tried to do is to show my patriotism by how I treat veterans when I'm working in the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee; by making sure that I'm speaking forcefully about how we need to bring this war in Iraq to a close, because I think it is not serving our national security well and it's not serving our military families and our troops well; talking about how we need to restore a sense of economic fairness to this country because that's what this country has always been about, is providing upward mobility and ladders to opportunity for all Americans. That's what I love about this country. And so I will continue to fight for those issues.
And I am absolutely confident that during the general election that when I'm in a debate with John McCain, people are not going to be questioning my patriotism, they are going to be questioning how can you make people's lives a little bit better.
And let me just make one last point on this issue of the flag pin. As you noted, I wore one yesterday when a veteran handed it to me, who himself was disabled and works on behalf of disabled veterans. I have never said that I don't wear flag pins or refuse to wear flag pins.
Several other potential statements that could see Senator Obama increase the size of his All-Comers Presidential Campaign Lying Record are currently going through the stringent quality control tests. If they're not verifiable by video/print or common sense beyond a reasonable doubt, they are not considered verifiable...which is why many tips we've received are not included.
