Barack Obama has an annoying tendency to plug holes in his memory by telling blatant lies. For instance, while delivering a commencement speech at an economics school in Moscow, Russia yesterday, Barack couldn’t recall exactly where he met his wife Michelle — so he just made something up like he always does when he’s at a loss for words.
Barack told the students that he met his future wife in class at Harvard:
“I don’t know if anybody else will meet their future wife or husband in class like I did, but I’m sure that you’re all going to have wonderful careers,” he said.
The only problem is, the former Michelle Robinson graduated a year ahead of Barack.
But the truth is that the couple met not “in class” but at a law firm in Chicago, Sidley Austin, in 1989. Obama was a summer associate (essentially a legal intern) there and Robinson was an attorney completing her first year at the firm. Both attended Harvard Law School, but Michelle graduated in the spring of 1988, while Barack Obama did not arrive at the Cambridge, Mass., campus until that fall.
The left wing media immediately scrambled to Obama’s defense by making convenient excuses for him
It was unclear what prompted Obama’s confusion or lapse of memory, though he does have the excuse of jet lag. It was about 4 a.m. in Washington as he spoke.
Jet lag? One would think this was Obama’s first overseas trip where he had to speak before a large audience.
Maybe Obama forgets important details in his personal history because of all that weed he smoked in college? Didn’t Obama “forget” how many years he was married Michelle too?
