Obama aides claim Obama "never saw or approved" liberal answers given in a survey - but some answers are in Obama's own handwriting

Obama is trying to distance himself from his past liberal positions, but his own handwriting contradicts him. Politico:

Late last year, in response to a Politico story about Obama’s answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he “never saw or approved” the questionnaire. They asserted the responses were filled out by a campaign aide who “unintentionally mischaracterize(d) his position.”


But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago non-profit group that issued it. And it found that Obama – the day after sitting for the interview – filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes adding to one answer.


Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has much more.
