Handwriting’s on the Wall … Err, the Questionnaire
By Alegre on April 17, 2008 at 10:24 AM in ABC News, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Second Amendment
I just love Fact Hub — it’s a great way to keep up with the campaign and they had fact checks up immediately, during the debate. Take a look at something they caught regarding a bit of a flub-up of Obama’s during the debate last night:
Sen. Obama’s Handwriting Appears On Questionnaire Supporting Total Handgun Ban
During the debate, Sen. Obama flatly denied his handwriting appeared on a questionnaire where he expressed his support for a total gun ban:
Gibson: But do you still favor the registration of guns? Do still you favor the licensing of guns? And in 1996, you – your campaign issued a questionnaire. And your writing was on the questionnaire that said you favored a ban on handguns.
Obama: No, my writing was not on that particular questionnaire, Charlie. As I’ve said, I have never favored an all-out ban on hand handguns
That’s not the case, you can see his handwriting on the very questionnaire here:
The entire questionnaire is available here.
More on this story, including the Obama campaign’s initial denial he ever saw the questionnaire, here.
Oops! He got another one wrong guys. I suppose now he’s going to issue another one of his “what I meant to say was…” memos or deliver one of his famous speeches to undo the damange caused by getting caught out in this blunder, eh?
As for the debate, a friend just sent me the following email about how what they thought of Obama’s answers to some of the questions:
Ha! He didn’t fill out the questionnaire …he was absent when Wright went wild …
it’s okay for him to hang out with Ayers because Clinton pardoned other people …
he only wears a flag pin when a veteran gives him one …
he’s for a windfall profits tax on oil companies but he voted for Cheney’s energy bill …
he doesn’t take money from federally registered lobbyists but he takes the money they bundle … etc.
