Obama admits spoof - says he never supported gay marriage
June 22, 2009 | Vetting explained
Obama broke radio silence this morning in response to an iReporter's spoof (or was it??) that republicans were conspiring to outlaw sex change operations.
"Unlike some unprincipled iReporters - I always tell the truth" Our president thumped his breast (er, chest) with pride.
"I made no secret during the campaign that I was 100% opposed to gay marriage"
"And if you believed I was going to end "Don't Ask - Don't Tell" . . .. well, thats simply hearing what you want to hear. I never said THAT either." (putting it in a letter to a gay political group isn't exactly the same as using it in a campaign speech, after all)
Congressman Iscoe, who recently introduced legislation to outlaw sex change operations except in when necessary to save the life of the fetus, vowed to work 24/7 to have scurrilous spoofs removed from iReports from people who are so passionate about their cause that they ignore the line between truth and fiction.
"I have 707 things I hate, and thats number 69 on the list" Iscoe noted. "Cheap whine masquerading as authentic Margaux is another"
