The Obama Campaign admitted yesterday that Barack Obama did vote against a bill as an Illinois State Senator that would have required babies born alive after attempted abortions be given life-saving care. As recently as Saturday, Obama had indignantly denied (see video) that he had or would ever have voted against such a bill. He claimed the bill he voted against was not identical to Federal Legislation he said "everyone" would support. Turns out, his campaign now admits he did vote against "identical legislation" on the Illinois state level:
His campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state Senate, and a spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said the senator and other lawmakers had concerns that even as worded, the legislation could have undermined existing Illinois abortion law. Those concerns did not exist for the federal bill, because there is no federal abortion law.Indeed, Mr. Obama appeared to misstate his position in the CBN interview on Saturday when he said the federal version he supported "was not the bill that was presented at the state level."
In other words - Obama has been lying all these years about voting to keep infanticide in Illinois legal. He feigned indignation when asked about it two days ago, and now is having to admit he helped keep the heinous practice of allowing babies to die for lack of care just to protect the altar of Abortion on Demand. And this is the man who wants us to trust him to confront evil in our world.
Barack Obama is a compulsive liar.
Man, poor guy is bombing out so much lately, have to start calling him oBOMBa.
The truth is out there. The Knights of Columbus and Priests For Life have been all over this.
almost makes Hillary and her sniper fire seem kinda tame - although the Obama campaign crucified her for that one during the primaries.
The worst part of it is that through his own lens, it’s everyone else who is lying ... just for exposing the truth! Would be nice to have a team of psychiatrists to study him to determine the myriad of diagnoses we’re dealing with here. :O)
Telling the truth about a leftist or about leftist policies is
HATE SPEECH.
“...mis-state his position...”
That’s “Politician” for: I lied my a$$ off!!”
Too bad the media won’t report his.
The infanticide issue ad the story form the case in Illinois need to be kept front and center in this campaign. Not just because it’s a winning political issue, but because support for these types of practices are the epitome of evil.
Does anyone have a good, succinct, sorced summary of Obama supporting infanticide?
I asked an Obama supporter whether she supported letting born babies die like Obama does/did, and she just refused to believe my assertion.
(Though she did say that that would be murder and infanticide by neglect. Perhaps an inkling of a conscience in a pro-abort.)
And the Obamanation had the audacity in the debate to quote the biblical verse about Christ’s statement that whatsoever you do to the least of His people you do to Him? Wow. Somehow I don’t think he understands or believes what that verse means.
If he doesn't than someone else has to.
I know my parish priest implores us every week that when November comes we must remember we are a people of life.
I have had private conversations with him and he is scared to death for our nation that Obama might win.
From what I have read in other articles at this fine web-site (and others), Mr. Obama not only “voted against” the bill, he used his position as chairman of a senate committee to KILL it at the committee level in the Illinois state senate, and prevent it from even coming to a full vote.
That’s a WHOLE LOT more than just “voting against it”. That was ACTIVE participation in destroying any chance the bill had of passing, which means he must have had very strongly held beliefs about the issue...
If I am not mistaken Obama was the only state senator to stand up on the senate floor and speak out against the bill

Obama and Hillary and most Dems fail miserably on this matter.
Obama will say anything to be elected, even say that he was never a Muslim.
I think it passed Congress by over 90 votes.
...and Obama says he doesn't know when life begins?? POS!!!
That is the definition of a compulsive liar. It’s everyone else that is at fault and “attacking” them for exposing their lie.
Obama is a narcissist not just because of an arrogant nature, but by a true psychological disorder.
The Narcissistic Personality Disorder: An individual with narcissistic personality disorder exhibits extreme self-importance, inability to empathize with others and heightened sensitivity to criticism. Self-involvement and lack of empathy characterize this personality disorder.
People with narcissistic personality disorder are frequently perfectionists and need to be the center of attention, receiving affection and admiration, and controlling the situation. To get the attention he craves, he may try to create crises that return the focus to him.
Like patients with antisocial personality disorder, this person places entitlement issues at the fore. He feels that the world owes him, regardless of whether he makes a contribution.
Symptoms:
Overreacts to criticism, becoming angry or humiliated
Uses others to reach goals
Exaggerates own importance
Entertains unrealistic fantasies about achievements, power, beauty, intelligence or romance
Has unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment
Needs constant attention and positive reinforcement from others
Is easily jealous
One reason the state law didn’t conform exactly to the federal law is that Obama was chairman of the committee overseeing it, and refused to allow introduction of an amendment that would have made it conform. He was pro-pre birth abortion, period. If he doesn’t have the guts to admit that now, he’s a coward and not fit for the Office of President. It’s way above his pay grade.
I read about that interview. Horrifying information.
"Uh, That's not the bill I knew."
Here's a link to the bill itself. I believe you can follow internal links to find the votes.
Thanks. A while back someone posted a link that had a transcript of Obama’s floor speech against the bill.
Anyone have that?
“Sean Hannity interviewed the nurse who testified to Obama’s commitee. She reported the death of the babies which were left to die in the soil linen closet of the hospital, if they survived the abortions. These babies,with lungs that were not fully formed, would die of asphyxiation.”
Someone needs to grab this clip and make TV spot.

I would think the least of these would include the unborn.
I don’t. You might do a search of threads on Obama and go back a few pages...
It does not appear that CBN has picked this up yet.
There is no “swiftboating” IF IT IS THE TRUTH!.
Prayers for the unborn.
Actually, Swift Boating is usually defined as using truth against your opponent. Anyone, like Barry, who claimed to have been "Swift Boated" i.e. a victim of Swift Boating is simply whining that the truth (facts, record, reality, factual recollection, evidence) is not on their side.
This should help.
“allowing babies to die for lack of care just to protect the altar of Abortion on Demand”
To allow an infant to die of neglect just to protect Roe v Wade is total madness. What is next allowing kids born with a disability be allowed to die because it will save on health care expenditures.
He will lose many many Democrats and Independents over this one alone. This is not a question of choice this is murder plain and simple.
Nice one!
Babies don’t count as the least of Christ’s brothers.
From his Saddleback answers:

Sen Obama: Do you consider adults who leave a baby to die after it has the audacity to try to live after these adults try to kill it not evil, even when you say parents who viciously abuse their children to be evil???? What is the different Barack??? Can you ethically split hairs on this???
Remember that the Obamination is a liberal's liberal. He says he doesn't know when life begins because he doesn't care about that. For liberals, when it comes to newborns, all they care about is when and how to end life.
bump!
Looks like the Obamessiah couldn’t even admit the truth without hedging! If slick Willie was the first black president, this guy is the first black Clinton.
Sounds like the definition of a liberal.
He’s got to be in an extremely small minority. The people I know who support abortion would not let a born baby die.
Like I said, if his supporters find this abhorrent, they’ll just deny it.
Kinda like witnessing to someone who has chosen to not believe in God - waste of time. No matter the evidence, they will find some objection or ignore the evidence.
It’s amazing how some people make up their mind whom to vote for despite any evidence that they may be unqualified or have extreme positions. After his flip flop on immediate pull out in Iraq, I’m surprised he has much following amongst the left.
