-Web of Lies! Obama contradictions starting to become commonplace.

Chalk up another lie for The One. During his speech on July 20th with the Apollo 11 crew, Obama made some questionable statements. Lies, actually. From the speech:

"The country continues to draw inspiration from what you've done. I should note, just personally, I grew up in Hawaii, as many of you know, and I still recall sitting on my grandfather's shoulders when those capsules would land in the middle of the Pacific and they'd get brought back and we'd go out and we'd pretend like they could see us as we were waving at folks coming home. And I remember waving American flags and my grandfather telling me that the Apollo mission was an example of how Americans can do anything they put their minds to."

Cute right? Aw. Too bad it isn't true.

Obama lived in Indonesia as a child, from 1967 to 1971, with his mother and stepfather – and not with his grandfather and grandmother, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, in Hawaii.

Despite several statements made by the president about his childhood years in Jakarta, Obama's own White House biography begins with his alleged birth in Hawaii Aug. 4, 1961, and makes no mention of Indonesia.

It was not until Obama turned 10 that he moved to Honolulu to live with his grandparents.

The White House declined to respond to WND's request for clarification concerning Obama's account of being in Hawaii during the event.

The Apollo 11 splashdown took place 1,440 nautical miles east of Wake Island and 210 nautical miles south of Johnston Atoll on July 24, 1969 – just before Obama's eighth birthday.

-Happy Islam Day, Hawaii!

From the AP:


Hawaii is planning to celebrate "Islam Day" over the objections of state lawmakers who associate extremist Muslims with terrorism.

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate today on a 22-3 vote.

"I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember," said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue -- same-sex civil unions.

Democrats countered that the diversity and positive contributions of the Islamic world should be honored.

Just what we need, 13 days after the anniversary of September 11th. Islam Day! Does it need to be said that the reason those extremists committed those heinous acts is because of the Islamic religion and the teachings of Mohammad?

Where is the Christian Day? The Jewish Day? Pagan Day? This makes no sense and is a slap in the face to the hundreds of thousands of people who have died at the hands of Muslims because of the teachings of Islam. What about separation of church and state that liberals hold so dear? The government is afraid to even say the word Christmas, but sponsoring a day in honor of the Islamic religion is acceptable?
