Cincinnati Enquirer’s Endorsement Based On A Myth

In the Cincinnati Enquirer’s recent endorsement of John McCain, they cited the following quote from Barack Obama as one of their reasons.

"A strong government hand is needed to assure that wealth is distributed more equitably."

There’s just one small problem according to the blog “Liberal Oasis”, Obama never said that. The line initially appeared in a Wall Street Journal article about Obama, but it’s not a quote. It has, however, been used as a quote in one of those negative emails that have been going around about Obama.

If you want to know what Obama really said about taxes to the Wall Street Journal, Liberal Oasis has that too. Perhaps a few Cincinnati area “journalists” should take a look at it.
