Obama, the financial crisis and a pattern
I don't think this helps Michelle's kids.
Thanks to Glenn Reynolds, who has more links about the crisis at that post.

Obama Flat-Out Lies About Inventing the Stimulus Package
Even his fellow Democrats, asked if it were true that Obama had taken the lead in crafting the stimulus bill, answered simply, "No."
Be sure to read it all as Ace reminds us of another lie from Obama.
And while were on the subject of lying, some discussion here that Obama greatly exaggerated his early career in one of this books. That link is one of many at The Anchoress post here, be sure to check them out.
Let's not forget the flap over an Obama campaign official telling Canada that Obama wasn't serious about unilaterally changing free trade agreements. According to initial reports, it was just campaign rhetoric was the reassuring excuse offered to Canadian officials. Which of course the Obama campaign denied as this lengthy article lays out.
There is also Obama lying about his relationship to William Ayers and the ridiculous expectation that we should believe that in twenty years he never heard such statements about America from "reverend" Jeremiah Wright.
Let's toss in Obama's claim that McCain would use racist attacks against him. He still tried to claim that in his interview with O'Reilly, and when challenged resorted to the equivalent of "we have no evidence just proves how well they can hide their work".
We now also have a report that Obama tried to undermine U.S. foreign policy while he was in Iraq.
In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal.
"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri.
The article on that includes the Obama campaign reply.
But Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri's article bore "as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial."
In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a "Strategic Framework Agreement" governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said.

Glenn Reynolds says it best with, "I'm not seeing a lot of daylight between what Taheri said and the Obama campaign's response here."
Let's not forget Obama's lies about his radical pro-abortion record.
That we seem to have a disturbing pattern with Senator Obama, would be an understatement.
Maybe Barack Obama just didn't have his teleprompter working when he made all these...uh..lies...uh...distortions...expressions of megalomania...uh...gaffes.
