Leave it to Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit idiocy to even screw up a lie! Here’s what Hoft is posting about the earthquake:
When you clickthe link above the image it takes you to the White House’s President’s schedule, which of course shows no public events today. Clicking the Yahoo link takes you to the source of the image, where we are presented with this caption:
President Barack Obama, left, and his daughter Malia Obama, right, ride bicycles in Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, in West Tisbury, Mass., on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011.
The most interesting thing is that the photo was published a little 1:11 pm est. and Obama had already left. The earthquake happened at 1:51 pm est.
So what was the President really doing? Well another thing the right loves to attack – he was golfing! If Hoft would have waited a little bit longer he could have published a factual story with the same impact to the wingnuts out there instead of some fake one.
Of course I must remind the wingnuts out there during these stories of what Bush was doing while people were drowning in New Orleans and our country was losing a major city:
That was the image a day after Katrina hit New Orleans. While Bush was playing Guitar, this was one of many images we saw on our televisions:
But again – people like Hoft defended the former President during this.
