Well, truth be told, he lied – but we’re into the New Politcs of Hope and Change, so we’ll gentle it down. From NRO’s The Corner:

Barack Obama released his first general election ad on Friday, which seems aimed above all to answer some early concerns about his biography and experience. It’s a well made ad, but it also offers an example of the kind of brazen padding of the resume that Obama will inevitably need to engage in, and which will carry serious risks for him.

About 46 seconds into the ad, we are told that Obama “passed laws” that “extended healthcare for wounded troops who’d been neglected,” and in the usual manner of these political commercials we are given a little citation at the bottom. The citation reads “Public Law 110-181 1/28/08”. That law is the only federal legislation cited in the ad — the other two items mentioned were from the Illinois legislature and referred to other issues raised in the ad.

Public Law 110-181 was the 2008 defense authorization bill. It passed the Senate by 91 to 3 in January, with six Senators not voting. Among those six absentees was Barack Obama. So he cites a bill he didn’t even vote for. Did he contribute to it in some way that might be reasonably referred to as extending healthcare for wounded troops who’d been neglected? It certainly doesn’t seem that way, as even Obama supporters at the Daily Kos discovered when they tried to answer some of the bloggers who pointed to Obama’s citation of the bill.

Obama was a “community organizer” (and I’ve got $20 for the first person who can tell me just what that accomplished), a mediocre State Senator, elected to the US Senate in a walkover because a dirty trick forced out the strongest GOPer, an undistinguished member of that body and now the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America, the most powerful office in the world. Essentially, he’s got nothing to justify his attempt, so he’s fallen to making stuff up about himself.

The Obama icon is being eaten away by the acid of truth – the only question is will the acid do its work before, or after, election day? One way or another, the fact that Obama is a presumptuous fraud will come out – but lets hope it doesn’t come out in the form of disasterous policies in the Executive branch.
