Another vicious right wing smear against a small child!
It's probably not very wise of me to do this, but since Ace and all those nice people have been defending Hillary against her "lies," I thought I should at least try to be fair, and take a crack at defending Obama against his "lies." Glenn Reynolds links this from Hot Air: "Barack Obama has promised a new kind of politics. Unfortunately, he has the same problems with calculating birth dates as Hillary does. In his speech commemorating the 42nd anniversary of the march on Selma, Alabama, he credited the march with his existence -- even though he was almost 4 years old at the time."OK wait a second! Obama was lying about stuff which happened when he was only four years old, right? Surely we cannot hold a four year old to the same standards as a first lady commando in Bosnia, can we? How could baby Obama have known when he was four years old whether or at what point people had marched in Selma? Here are the unfair details from Hot Air: The first march on Selma took place on March 7, 1965 (there were three of them). At the time, Barack Obama was three and a half years old. Now, Obama also mentions the Birmingham march as part of this speech -- but that took place in May 1963. Obama would have been 20 months old when Dr. King led that demonstration.See? There was no way for him to really know what happened when he was three and a half -- much less 20 months old. And as to what happened before he was born, if he wasn't born yet, then what difference does that make? It's like, how could a little four year old or a 20 month old keep his dates straight or know who or what to credit for his existence? To say nothing of an unborn baby! I'm telling you, this time, they've gone too far! Really, what kind of mean-spirited people would attack unborn babies over stuff that hasn't happened yet? posted by Eric on 03.26.08 at 06:28 PM |

Beg to differ with you about 3 1/2. I remember listening to the radio at that age and hearing the announcement of the State of Israel. It made an impression on me. How much more so Obama who had television to watch?
Some of us get into the news at a very early age.
