Hillary is now so desperate she will say and do anything for a vote. I would not be surprised if she in her Clinton slick way try to come up with a story that would link Obama through a third party for the deaths of John & Robert Kennedy and Ted's brain cancer. Hillary has become a cancer to the democratic party. She will never admit defeat which is obvious, and if anyone believes that she will work to unify the democratic party after Obama is the democratic canidate. I would strongly recommend that you do one of two things. 1) cut back on your meds, 2) take more meds. Because your state of mind is very dangerous.

He was wrong about that — his handwriting appears on a small part of the document — but he has continued to maintain that a campaign aide filled out the bulk of it, including the multipart question asking if he supported state legislation to ban assault weapons; ban manufacture, sale and possession of handguns; and require waiting periods and background checks before gun purchases. He answered "Yes" on all counts.
Obama says the answers misrepresent his position. "I have never favored an all-out ban on handguns," he said at the Philadelphia debate.
We can't say for sure if he did or not. We haven't been able to find any evidence that he acted on it if he did. In the Illinois Senate, he voted for gun control, including limiting handgun purchases to one a month, but no attempts at a ban that we are aware of. And he didn't advocate a handgun ban when he was running for U.S. Senate. Still, the reason for the answer on the questionnaire remains unclear.
Constitutional Question
Bullet point #2: Did Obama tell Idaho voters he was for the Second Amendment at an appearance earlier this year (12 years after the questionnaire we described above, we might note)? Not in so many words, but essentially yes. According to the Associated Press article cited by the mailer itself, this is what Obama said to the crowd jammed into Boise State University's basketball arena back in February:
Obama (Feb. 2): And then there are people who say, `Well, he doesn't believe in the Second Amendment,' even though I come from a state — we've got a lot of hunters in downstate Illinois. And I have no intention of taking away folks' guns.
According to the Obama campaign website, he does believe that the Second Amendment creates an individual (rather than only a collective, or governmental) right to bear arms. He also believes that right is subject to governmental regulation. In an interview last month with the Chicago Sun-Times, Obama said:
Obama (April 25): My view continues to be that the constitution, I believe, does provide a right to bear arms; but that local communities, and state governments, as well as the federal government, have a right to common-sense regulations and firearm ownership [rules.] The truth is, obviously, the ban here in Chicago, the ban in D.C. is not keeping the guns out of our cities, and so I'm interested in just figuring out what works and I'm confident we can come up with laws that work and that pass constitutional muster and don't infringe on the rights of lawful gun owners whether it's in Downstate Illinois or rural Montana.
We'll give the Clinton mailer a "True" on this one.
