Sen. Shelby Tries To Play Revisionist Historian, Fails

Senator Shelby went on Fox News to talk about bank bailouts yesterday, but he mysteriously forgets that last fall when the President approved of bank bailouts, it was Bush, not Obama who started doling out hundreds of billions to the banks.

Sen. Shelby Tries Backtracking From Questioning Pres. Obama's Citizenship

Senator Shelby is trying to have it both ways now that his words at a small forum have been made widely public. To rile up his conservative friends, he put on the tin foil hat that proudly exclaims that there's a chance Barack Obama is not a real American by birth, even though the story has been thoroughly debunked. When the story blew up in the mainstream, Shelby accused the paper that recorded it as not telling the full story, while the paper stands by it. Now whether or not who's right...why on Earth would Shelby even bring up the subject in the first place unless he wanted to dish out red meat to his GOP audience? Yeah, that's a rhetorical question.
