Barack Obama Lies About Registering for Selective Service - GoFuckYourself.com

During his 7 September 2008 interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Obama said the following:

"I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there.

"And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue."

Obama did graduate from high school in Hawaii in 1979, but he could not have registered for Selective Service then. Nobody could. In 1975, President Gerald Ford terminated the Military Selective Service Act. It was not reinstated until July 1980. That is one year after Obama graduated from high school. In July 1980, Obama was no longer living in Hawaii. He was living in Los Angeles.

Why are people always in shock when a Politician lies?

Liar = Politician so live with it, but not all Liars are Politicians, but all Politicians are Liars!

Everybody who graduated highschool in 1979 signed up in 1980.

He said he was "growing up in Hawaii" as a lead in to the statement that anyone growing up on Oahu like he did would know a lot of military people.

You misinterpret this as saying he was in Hawaii when he signed up, but it doesn't
even matter where he was.

LOL they're all liars.

One lies to the right wing to get votes, the other to the left.

In the end, there's no difference.
