Obama Forgets Writing on Gun Questionnaire (2008 Flashback)
Apr 17, 2008
ABC News Teddy Davis and Talal Al-Khatib Report: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., maintained at Wednesdays ABC News debate in Philadelphia that his handwriting does not appear on a 1996 questionnaire stating support for a ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns. The Democratic presidential frontrunner made this claim even though a copy of the original document suggests otherwise.
"No, my writing wasnt on that particular questionnaire, Charlie. As I said, I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns," said Obama.
The Illinois Democrat made his remarks after ABC News Charlie Gibson told Obama: "In 1996, your campaign issued a questionnaire, and your writing was on the questionnaire that said you favored a ban on handguns."
The questionnaire, which was filled out for an organization called "Independent Voters of Illinois Independent Precinct Organizations," appears to have Obamas handwriting on the first page plus a typewritten answer to the gun question on the last page.
