Michelle Malkin » Jay Carney Gives President Obama a History Lesson: "In yesterday’s OOTD, I noted that the President went off script to deliver a lecture on the origins of the Republican Party, only like so many lectures delivered by Barack Obama, it consisted of misinformation. Don’t worry, though — the media is actually covering this gaffe. For instance, Tom Maguire finds Time Magazine having to correct the record on Lincoln:I don't call our "press" "Pravda" for nothing. But then comes the capstone that the press and our educational "institutions" are bent to flush down the memory hole:He gives a good speech, but he’s loose with the facts. He called Abraham Lincoln the “founder” of the Republican Party. Nope. Lincoln was not the founder of the party; he wasn’t even the first Republican nominee (John Fremont was, in 1856). Lincoln was, of course, the first Republican to be elected president.Great work by Time, huh? Only this piece wasn’t written this week. It was written in September 2008, and fact-checked Mike Huckabee, not Barack Obama. And guess who wrote this historical correction? Time Magazine’s Jay Carney … who now works at Barack Obama’s press secretary. They don’t talk to each other much in this White House, do they?"
If Credit Mobilier existed in the 21st century, who knows… they might have started a stimulus-backed solar panel company.Now you know you need to read the whole thing in case your education "accidentally" missed the context that made this a knock-out punch.
O, wait! Did I just engage in uncivilized rhetoric? O Duce will surely chastize me.
But not Trumka or Hoffa. Then the corrupt world-wide machine that got him elected might run out of cash...
