The public had been seriously misled about what occurred during the morning of the attacks ... at some level of the government, at some point in timethere was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened. - John Farmer (Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, former New Jersey Attorney General).

It wouldn't surprise me if it was true though.

I agree. Apparently though three people attributed this to Bush. It would seem to me to be exactly what he would have said and exactly how he would have said it.

I understand it fits the caricature. The three sources are all anonymous though and could be Moe, Larry and Curly.

If three anonymous sources claimed Obama told them he wasn't natural born and is really a foreign national, islamic jihadist, should I believe them because the people attempting to stop thought and creat a caricature think that information fits the profile of that caricature?

You can choose for yourself. Me, I choose to believe someone other than anonymous.

Have there been multiple examples to support this idea like there have been in Bush's statements? It's entirely in character.

Not really a good analogy.

I thought this was the "Who said it?" thread not the "Here's an unverified quote that may or may not have been said but sure sounds a lot like it fits my imagination of the character and personality of the person it's being attributed to" thread.

For someone with only 25 posts you've got a lot of balls trying to tell people to shut-up!!

Oh... I guess Trumptman will be along to lend you his 10,000 plus posts!

I really don't care if he said it or not, because it 'fits' If you or anyone wants to make up a quote from Obama that he never said because you think it 'fits' go ahead.

Look. The quote may well not be true, but three people have said, that were with the president at the time, that he said that. Of course Bush doesn't want to go down in history being quoted as having said that. For three people to corroborate a quote is quite a lot. What do you only want quotes that were live on national TV?

Multiple anonymous sources have helped craft the caricature so it must be true.

Shhhh... talking about post counts is good dust so we don't have to discuss why believing anonymous sources is valid.

Which three people? Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny? Three of anything is not a lot when they are anonymous. There is a reason why some things are gossip and other things are news.

Well it's the oldest news site covering D.C politics on the web. Three people said Bush said that. Do you really think they just made it all up and risked their reputations?http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artma...cle_7779.shtml

Capitol Hill Blue is a serious publication, folks.http://www.capitolhillblue.com/

It could be on video and Bush apologists would try to spin it positively.

I can do that, take the Obama bow, to me it looked like he bent over to put something down.

Whether or not Bush said it, he certainly acted with blatant disregard for the Constitution.

All I'm saying is that your analogy isn't perfect and it's not difficult to imagine him saying this when compared to things that have been documented.

Yeah, the oldest website as sef-proclaimed doesn't mean much to me. The section this was published under is called "The Rant" and again, regardless of the fallacy of appeal to authority, three anonymous sources is not proof of anything. That is objectively true PERIOD.

That pretty much describes the entire Republican platform. As it currently stands anyway.

I'm going to agree because it would probably talk about things like balanced budget. Then they would get into office and the networks would all run stories about ketchup being a vegetable and how many old people they are going to shove into ovens for processing. Then the Republicans would "cut" the spending to only adding seven trillion to the national debt over ten years instead of ten trillion like B.O.

Then the Democrats would argue that the Republicans are messing up the nation building and world policing they established by actually following the plans they passed but didn't follow. Meanwhile no one would bring the troops home.

Then they would argue that the government needs to bail out that nice union company so that the free trade and currency manipulation that is also helping kill it can stay in place.

It pretty much sucks all around.
