You know that candidate of “change”–you know, this fellow named Barack Obama who promises a new kind of politics, a new way of doing business in Washington, a new approach to business as usual?

Well, forget about that Obama. The real Obama turns out to be a liar. Yeah, so are most other politicians; but they don’t walk around saying how different they are.

Remember how Gary Hart was done in after he challenged reporters to prove he was having an affair; and then , they did!

Well, the New York Times today pretty much does the same thing with Obama.

553949021_c6c0a0bnuclear.jpgObama, whose ears apparently grow larger with each lie he tells, has boasted during the campaign how he stood up to the Exelon Corporation in his home state of Illinois when it was learned it failed to tell the public about radioactive leaks at one of the nuclear power plants it owns.

Obama claimed, according to records unearthed by the Times, that he introduced and helped get passed legislation to make it mandatory for even small leaks to be reported quickly to state and local authorities.

“…the only nuclear legislation that I’ve passed,” Obama told voters in Iowa,according to the Times.

The problem is, it happens not to be true!

In fact, according to the Times account, Obama eventually caved to special interest groups and Republicans in Congress and signed off on legislation much ,much weaker than what he says he got passed–legislation favored by Exelon and the nuclear industry.

Oh, and one more thing: Turns out that even THAT legislation didn’t actually pass and become law.

So, Obama, the candidate of “change” lied about two things: his support for legislation to help police the nuclear power plant industry and his ability to pass legislation–comments he obviously made to prove he was just as experienced as Hillary Clinton at such things.

If Obama has to make stuff up to get elected, one wonders what he will do once in the Oval Office?
Would he make up that some nation has weapons of mass destruction as a pretext to invade it?
Would he make up that the U.S. doesn’t actually torture people in secret CIA prisons in Eastern Europe ?
Would he make up that he supports legislation while signing statements saying he won’t actually enforce it?
Would he make up that the economy is doing well when statistics show it is not?

Well, why wouldn’t he? Bush did and got away with it.

But, of course, Obama is about change, about doing things differently, about going down a new road.

The YouTube generation in particular seems to be swallowing this whole.

Wake up! Read the speeches he gives instead of watching stupid three minute clips on the Internet.

Fact: Obama, by his own admission, was a regular cocaine user in college, which means the money he spent buying the drugs went to support vicious cartels that kill innocent men, women and children in Mexico and throughout South America.

Fact: Obama managed to not realize he had hundreds of dollars of unpaid parking tickets–an amount that would have gotten most people arrested–until he decided to run for President and then paid them off.

Fact: Obama has downplayed his relationship with a shifty Chicago real estate developer who helped get Obama and his wife a nice,new house at the same time he was contributing to Obama’s campaign for state-wide office.

Fact: Obama makes stuff up about his legislative record because he hardly has one–he either was not present for votes on important issues or, if present,opted not to cast a vote one way or the other.

Fact: And now, according to the New York Times story today, Obama even lies about his relationship with the nuclear power industry.

Again, that Obama, a politician, is a liar is, in and of itself, no big deal or even newsworthy. They all do it…Hillary included!

But, where Obama is different is his insistence that he is different and a candidate of true change.

Bullcrap!
