Barack Obama contradicted previous statements when he said during a March 18 speech on race: "Did I ever hear him [Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's former pastor] make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in the church? Yes." In fact, Obama previously asserted he had not been present for particular statements Wright made that were repeated by various media outlets and that spurred the recent controversy. He did not claim to have never heard Wright make "remarks that could be considered controversial." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803200004 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:42:33 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200611140013 http://mediamatters.org/items/200611140013 Tue, 14 Nov 2006 18:26:28 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601030004 Conservative media figures have defended the Bush administration's warrantless domestic surveillance program by citing a Rasmussen poll saying 64 percent of Americans believe "the National Security Agency [should] be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States." But the key issue, which the poll misrepresents, is not whether surveillance of terrorism suspects should take place at all -- something about which there is little controversy -- but whether President Bush violated the law by approving warrantless searches of domestic phone and email communications. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601030004 Tue, 3 Jan 2006 13:36:07 EST
