Gone and forgotten
Barry really screwed the pooch this time, will he man up and admit it, or do his usual toe dance and pretend he did nothing wrong.

Sigh.
More and more, day by day, you prove yourself to be a partisan hack.
He didn't lie.

The lie that the court reversed a century of law and allowed foriegn corps to influence US elections.

Appendix 4: Brief History
The lie is all yours by denying the fact that the court reversed a century of law and allowed foriegn corps to influence US elections.
Why does the right feel the need to constantly lie?
222 U.S.C. § 611(b) provides:
"(b) The term "foreign principal" includes—
(1)
a government of a foreign country and a foreign political party;
(2)
a person outside of the United States, unless it is established that such person is an individual and a citizen of and domiciled within the United States, or that such person is not an individual and is organized under or created by the laws of the United States or of any State or other place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and has its principal place of business within the United States; and

a partnership, association, corporation, organization, or other combination of persons organized under the laws of or having its principal place of business in a foreign country."
Its unclear whether the courts opinion will lead to allowing foreign-based corporations to buy campaign ads and engage in other electioneering activities. There is still a law barring foreign corporations from spending money in connection with U.S. elections (see 2 U.S.C. 441e(b)(3)), and thats a matter likely to be litigated further. The courts most recent decision explicitly didnt deal with that question.Obama is very careful with his choice of words - Obama couched his claim as something "I believe," making it a statement of opinion and not of fact.
Wow...factcheck.org also believes it might be possible. So, where is the lie?From FactCheck.org
The Obama was very careful with his words, as usual. We all know what he meant and what he was implying, but he can hide behind the qualifier "I believe". Much as Clinton hid behind "what is the meaning of is" and " are we ever really alone" statements he made. The Obama is free to "believe" what ever he chooses....right?Its unclear whether the courts opinion will lead to allowing foreign-based corporations to buy campaign ads and engage in other electioneering activities.
