Confused Americans for Truth - The Crazy Obama Brother Rumors
In the Information Age, the smallest mistake can turn into an earth-shattering misunderstanding. Presumptive President-elect Barack Obama slipped up in his acceptance speech back in August, and then accidentally replayed the mistake during his infomercial the other day. As luck would have it, this very sound bite has been featured on every radio news broadcast I've heard in the past few days (and we listen to a lot of radio here).
The sound bite in question is one in which Obama says "I am my brother's keeper!" Conservatives have been ruthless about comparing Obama's statement against his actual generosity.
I've sworn I would continue to do my best to help Obama fight the smears against his character, and this one is no exception. Obama wasn't saying he wanted to go out and help people, he was saying the government is supposed to go out and help people. After all, isn't that exactly the job of a community organizer, to get the government to help the community?
So give the poor guy a break. He wanted to use a quote that everybody could recognize, and had to fudge the parameters a little. Honestly, if the voters can't figure out what this guy really stands for, in spite of what he says, then we're in real trouble.
Respectfully submitted,
Ferdinand T. Cat
