Say it ain’t so, Mr. Obama…? Blatant dishonesty…at a funeral… to bash Republicans?

It’s no secret BlueCollar is not a fan of Barack Obama and his Big Government ideas, but we are in awe of America, and respectful of the elected office of President. So its a sorrowful thing when that office is dishonored and disrespected by its occupant.

Several blogs ago, BCP expressed dismay that a United States President would use that office, during a funeral, to maliciously attack an opposition political party.

Now comes a story that Mr. Obama wasn’t just being mean-spirited when he used that solemn occasion to bash Republicans, but had to make up the story to get his digs in.

Obama stated point-blank that his vivid memories of Hawaiian Senator Inouye were prompted by invoking the spectre of Watergate hearings, viewed as a child on a series of motel tv’s during family vacation travels on the mainland. But a Breitbart.com article points out that the Watergate hearings were in 1973, and it’s already been proven that the family vacation Mr. Obama referred to was a year earlier, in 1972.

So an inconsiderate act by a U.S. President – at a Senator’s funeral – not only disrespected and dishonored the recently deceased, but evidently required a completely fabricated untruth as its foundational structure…

Watergate was a black mark against Republicans, and Senator Inouye was a key player in the hearings. Obama could have stirred up that muck at any number of press conferences or Rose Garden mud-slinging events, but…

…during the funeral memorial…? …using debunked untruths to do it…?

Democrats must be so proud.
