Q: Did Obama accuse veterans of "selfishness" and whining? Would he have forced them to "pay for their war injuries"?

A: This chain e-mail contains fabricated quotes and misrepresents a budget idea that the White House scrapped. The quotes were intended as satire.

FULL QUESTION

This e-mail is circulating. What is the truth about this one?

FULL ANSWER

We’ve received many copies and variations of this e-mail in the past few weeks.

Made-up Quotes

To start, the e-mail’s anonymous author offers no evidence to substantiate the disparaging remarks about veterans that he or she attributes to President Obama. White House spokesman Tommy Vietor told us that "these quotes are fabricated."

Our own research backs that up. We searched news databases and turned up no news organization that has ever quoted Obama this way. We conclude that these quotes are simply made-up, and perhaps intended as satire.

Update, Sept. 25: Long after we posted this article, we discovered that the quotes were indeed intended as satire. They are the product of conservative humorist John Semmens, who posted them originally March 21, 2009. They appeared in Semmens’ column, "Semi-News — A Satirical Look at Recent News," at the online publication The Arizona Conservative.

thanks for your correction Pepe my mistake I diden't check that stuff,my bad....I still don't trust the guy.
and no I don't think it was she could have been a little more polite in her post,when I'm wrong I'll gladley accept the truth and apoligize all you have to do is say so.

Well Godfather, your post was a post of stupidity and it appears she was calling it as she sees it and rightfully so.

She also posted the same thing that reflected the post previous to hers. So the only new information she added was the incendiary remarks. The post was nothing but a personal attack.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

Are you really that fucking stupid? Does that sound like something any President would ever say.

Fucking look this stuff up before you repeat it all over the place.

It took 15 seconds to Google that quote and here:

"This chain e-mail contains fabricated quotes and misrepresents a budget idea that the White House scrapped. The quotes were intended as satire."

The irony is that you have the nerve to call Obama a fool when you apparently will believe anything and everything that anyone types out to disparage him.

ez bitch...my bad I diden't check :? but hay fuck you anyway :twisted:

wow...how articulate.... :roll:

The language was the problem the fact that she was a female and may disagre with you matters none. This is a public forum and we should all respect each other. Calling out stupidity is one thing but calling a person a name such as that is out of order is totally disrespectful. We've all made mistakes on here and I know I've and I've been called out but I find no need to call someone else a bitch. That to me is a NO NO, I thought you knew better.

Sorry to everyone that I lost my temper.

I usually keep my cool around here, I'm not sure what the difference was this morning, but I regret posting that. It was a knee jerk reaction when I saw the quote. However, he posted a pretty terrible and disrespectful quote written by a conservative and then attributed it to Obama. So this is not a difference of opinion - it's a complete fabrication which he put in quotation marks. Add to that that this is not the first time he's posted these email forwards without any fact-checking and then tried to get away with a quick "my bad" afterwards.

If you want to be considered intelligent than you don't just forward any old piece of drivel that someone sends you. Just because someone puts it in an email or in quotation marks doesn't make it true. Question it, look it up first.

Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you hate Obama so much is that you believe these things you are forwarded? And maybe he's not the monster these emails like this make him out to be?

Godfather.

G under P............I know, but what's the difference here both were a crappy display of human kindness
as a matter of fact this whole forum reeks of it from time to time,name calling or personal attacks where is the line drawn ?.
I do apoligize for my out-burst to michell (NO NO noted G )

Sometimes we should ALL laugh at ourselves. I gather that No No comes from years ago when I used to teach pre-school. I can specifically recall saying that to a pre-schooler who used the N-word on the playground. Definately a No No.

It's all good....GF

I should post some of the stuff my father-in-law sends me. It's all about how Obama was born in Kenya, how he comes from a long line of socialists, and how he's part of some far-reaching conspiracy to bring American down. The best part is that after we started sending him the Snopes pages refuting what he sent, he started sending them with "I checked this on Snopes and it's true" attached, assuming we wouldn't then bother to check (we still checked, and they still weren't true).

The saddest example I have is when a friend of his, before the election, sent around the oft-forwarded email about how Obama was a Kenyan who was raised in a terrorist training school. I replied and went through line-by-line correcting all of the inaccuracies, and then told her she shouldn't forward hate-filled emails that had no basis in reality. She replied "Well, it's still something worth thinking about."

Some people you just can't talk to.

How exactly is an unsubstantiated rumor about her sexual preference relevant to whether or not she will do a good job on the Supreme Court?
