Obama FAIL Blog

You remember the “Fight the Smears” website that was put together to help Ofail dupe the nation into electing him, right?  The one were “smears” from concerned citizens were “debunked” with “facts”.

One of those “smears” was the statement that Obama’s father is a Muslim.  Something that, if true, he should be proud to claim, since he’s such a multiculturalist.  But on Fight the Smears, they instead wrote:

“Barack” is the candidate’s Kenyan father’s name; Obama’s middle name, “Hussein,” is his grandfather’s name. Obama has described his father as atheist or agnostic.

But in a blog post from ABC News’s Jake Tapper, Tapper reports:

During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father – obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”

In the past, the MSM also followed the campaign’s lead and reported that his Kenyan grandmother was a Christian.

Now we find out that his “Christian” grandmother will be making a The Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca).  The Hajj is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world and called  “the fifth pillar of Islam” making it an obligation for every able-bodied Muslim to do in their life.  However, it’s not exactly something “Christians” bend over backwards to do…
She just might be the first Christian to attend the Hajj in years.

God I look good.  I bet they’ll believe whatever I tell them.

When naming a “cyber security czar” last week, Ofail played a bit fast and loose with the facts as he tried to dazzle with his sparkling oratory.  And by “facts”, we mean things he made up that have not a single shred of truth to them.

Ofail lectured:

And this is also a matter of public safety and national security. We count on computer networks to deliver our oil and gas, our power and our water. We rely on them for public transportation and air traffic control. Yet we know that cyber intruders have probed our electrical grid and that in other countries cyber attacks have plunged entire cities into darkness.

Scary stuff.  If only it were true.

Rob Rosenberger at Vmyths.com (a site that, like Snopes.com, clears up common misinformation with a focus on cyberspace) points out that this so-called hacker-induced blackout seems never to have happened.  Or if it did, you would think there might be some evidence somewhere to support it.

In Ofail’s weekly address lecture to the nation, we already mentioned that he seemed confused about the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

But there was another, more significant moment of “did he really just say that?!”  One that, once again, reveals the hypocrisy and arrogance of this man who thinks that just saying something makes it true, and inconvenient facts don’t matter.

The latest gaffe was with regards to the safety of our troops who are bravely fighting for our freedom in the War of Terror.  Ofail said “That is why I will send our servicemen and women into harm’s way only when it is necessary, and ensure that they have the training and equipment they need when they enter the theater of war.”

That sounds really nice.  Just fantastic, thank you.  Unfortunately, it’s a complete lie.

In the current Afghanistan surge (wonder where he got that “surge” idea, anyway) we are sending 20,000 American young men and women into harm’s way WITHOUT the proper equipment.  Just last week, the Secretary of Defense said “I heard this on several occasions today, that the equipment is coming in behind the troops and is not here and available for them when they arrive.”

It’s not just the body armor they are lacking.  Some of the Marines that Secretary Gates met with said they didn’t have critical communications equipment, while others were concerned about the lack of armor on their vehicles.  I seem to remember Secretary Rumsfeld had a similar issue, the MSM was in an uproar for weeks, with multiple calls for his resignation.  Now we have the same situation — and the president blatantly lying about it — and you could hear a pin drop.
