And the Obamatrons wonder why we question where he was born? He can't get the story of his life straight:
Obama's oration dealt to a large degree with how he came to understand what a U.S. senator is. "Now, even though my mother and grandparents took great pride that they had voted for him," said Barack Obama of Inouye, "I confess that I wasn't paying much attention to the United States Senate at the age of four or five or six. It wasn't until I was 11 years old that I recall even learning what a U.S. senator was, or it registering, at least. It was during my summer vacation with my family -- my first trip to what those of us in Hawaii call the Mainland."
The story of the trip set up the punch line. He told Inouye's mourners that "my mother that summer would turn on the TV every night during this vacation and watch the Watergate hearings," and he was forced to watch, too. Of course, the senator who "fascinated" him most was "this man of Japanese descent with one arm, speaking in this courtly baritone, full of dignity and grace."
This story would work only if Obama had toured the United States during the summer of the Watergate hearings, 1973, when he was eleven years old going on twelve, but in his memoir Dreams from My Father, he tells another story -- a much more specific one. Yes, he made the same trip, but he did so "during the summer after my father's visit to Hawaii, before my eleventh birthday." This would have been 1972, when Watergate was still a third-rate burglary that had gotten little media traction.
In Dreams, Obama mentioned a Kansas City stop along the way, and Madelyn's youngest brother in suburban KC would later provide photographic evidence of the same. He confirmed the year as 1972. This disparity did not stop Obama from relating in Dreams how in that elusive summer he "watched the Watergate hearings every night before going to bed." There was no mention of Senator Inouye. He was apparently trying to make some other point. Blog: Obama Has to Fib Even at a Funeral
His book, "Dreams From My Father" is filled with such inconsistencies, as chronicled by many who have documented them in blogs and articles around the Net over the years.

If you did care about the future of the US, you would not have voted for Obama. His reckless fiscal policy has sealed the death of the nation.
Fyi i have never voted for obama or a dem for that matter in my life!
I just think this line of this thread is a lost cause and hurts our side at this point. Kind of like watch what the left hand is doing so you dont notice what the right hand is doing... Grabbing your wallet.
HAHHAHAHA...Man, the just keeps rolling on. I've transposed many a memory from my early years and I'm not nearly as old as Obama. The ironic part of you wingnuts contrived outrage is that you all voted for Romney who denied a recent past THAT WAS ON TAPE!!! Romney's fibs would've had a real effect on people, Obama recalling whatnot from when he was 11-12 has no bearing on anything..But anyway, keep it up, we're all still just laughing at you all
Face it - extremely stupid and totally ignorant people voted for a lying, scumbag, worthless POS idiot to be president.
Yeah you are right, can't understand why those type of people voted for Romney.
