Gateway Pundit brings us this video of Barack Obama lying to his Richmond, Virginia audience. The ten people who died in the Greensburg, Kansas twister have now become ten thousand people to the politician the mainstream media loves the most. Unfortunately, to some people, facts are only things to twist to fit into a campaign theme.
I did find some interesting facts about Greensburg. The population of Greensburg as of July 2005 was 1,398, down from 1,574 in 2000. A one thousand pound meterorite from beyond our solar system landed on a farm near Greensburg, and is in the local museum.
Probably the most interesting fact about Greensburg is something called "the well." It's not just any well. It is the world's largest hand-dug well. When the well was completed in 1888, it was 109 feet deep and 32 feet in diameter. It served as the city's water supply until 1932. The well was covered and opened as a tourist attraction in 1939. Since then, over 3,000,000 people have visited the "Big Well." It was built by crews of twelve to fifteen farmers and cowboys. Read all about it here.
May God be with the people of Greensburg as they rebuild their town and their lives.

Amen to that, Bob!
The democrat Governor of Kansas and Harry Reid also lied, by saying that the war in Iraq has depleted the supplies and equipment of the Kansas National Guard so much, that they don't have enough to help the people of Greensburg.
And yet, the people of Greensburg and the KS Natl. Guard (who are actually there) claim they have more than enough equipment and supplies.
The left is so bold that they now repeatedly tell easily refutable lies.
They know the MSM have their backs,
but it will backfire on them thanks to the internet and blogs like yours!
You said a mouthful of truth, Ben. Here's to the big backfire!
