One little problem with this little lie.

There’s full documentation on it, There’s a voting record on it, and there’s an AP article on it.

Transcript of the Lying Magic one:

Brody: I want to ask, I was back stage I didn’t see
the handshake, but I’m curious what that was like to be on stage with
John McCain and what was going through your mind when all of that was
going on.

Obama: Well, you know John and I serve in the
Senate together, so we see each other all the time. It was great to see
him. As he said, he’ll see me in a couple weeks. We’re going to be
debating each other throughout the fall.

Brody: Tell me a little bit about how you felt up
there on stage in terms of what may have been that, the hardest
question or at least the question that you may not have been looking
forward to address so much.

Obama: You know, I thought, Pastor Rick is a good
friend, he and I have known each other for some time, I’ve been to this
church before, and so I knew that he’d be fair and press me on issues
that are of particular concern to the Evangelical community, but I also
knew they weren’t issues that I hadn’t heard before and hadn’t wrestled
with myself. So, you know, one of the wonderful things about Rick is he
is somebody who, I think, has genuine good will towards everybody and
even when he disagrees with you, I think he’s going to give you a fair
hearing.

Brody: Let me ask you a little about some of these
ads that John McCain has been running not just on television, but on
the web. Let’s face it, let’s call a spade a spade, there has been some
Messianic references, there’s been some antichrist stuff going on, the
celebrity, they’re trying to pigeonhole you a certain way. Do you
believe this is being done on purpose?

Obama: Well of course it’s being done on purpose.
They’re not spending a whole bunch of money to make me out as a good
guy. They’re engaging in the kind of politics that I think we’ve become
accustomed to which is you try to tear your opponents down and you
engage in sort of slash and burn tactics. And very personal sort of
personal character attacks. And one of the challenges for us in this
campaign is how do you make sure those attacks are answered quickly and
forcefully, but also truthfully and that we don’t fall into that same
kind of tactic. And look, I think ultimately the American people are
going to understand by the time they go into the polling place in
November that this is not an election about me. This an election about
them – ordinary people, their lives, their hopes their dreams, the fact
that their incomes have gone down over the last eight years, the fact
that their jobs are less secure, that they have less retirement
security, that their kids can’t afford college, that jobs are being
shipped overseas that the tax code isn’t fair and that special
interests have come to dominate Washington. And as long as we’re
communicating an active plan to fix those problems then I think we’re
going to do well.

Brody: Real quick, the born alive infant protection
act. I gotta tell you that’s the one thing I get a lot of emails about
and it’s just not just from Evangelicals, it about Catholics,
Protestants, main — they’re trying to understand it because there was
some literature put out by the National Right to Life Committee. And
they’re basically saying they felt like you misrepresented your
position on that bill.

Obama: Let me clarify this right now.

Brody: Because it’s getting a lot of play.

Obama: Well and because they have not been telling
the truth. And I hate to say that people are lying, but here’s a
situation where folks are lying. I have said repeatedly that I would
have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that
everybody supported – which was to say –that you should provide
assistance to any infant that was born – even if it was as a
consequence of an induced abortion. That was not the bill that was
presented at the state level. What that bill also was doing was trying
to undermine Roe vs. Wade. By the way, we also had a bill, a law
already in place in Illinois that insured life saving treatment was
given to infants.

So for people to suggest that I and the Illinois medical society, so
Illinois doctors were somehow in favor of withholding life saving
support from an infant born alive is ridiculous. It defies commonsense
and it defies imagination and for people to keep on pushing this is
offensive and it’s an example of the kind of politics that we have to
get beyond. It’s one thing for people to disagree with me about the
issue of choice, it’s another thing for people to out and out
misrepresent my positions repeatedly, even after they know that they’re
wrong. And that’s what’s been happening.

Brody: I wanted to give you a chance to clear it up.

Obama: I appreciate it.

Brody: Thank you so much.

Sorry Barry, but thanks for playing… Might wanna brush up on your voting history a bit.

Update: Heh. Ed Morrissey lays the smack down on Obama. It’s a very good read.
