Alito 'Not True' Video

In his address (transcript as released by the White House before the speech), Obama said:

Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that's why I'm urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong.

Here's the White House transcript:

With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit in our elections. (Applause.) I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. (Applause.) They should be decided by the American people. And I'd urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to correct some of these problems.

As you can see, last minute changes were fed into the teleprompter, but the gist of his remarks remained the same.

Obama is messed up. In effect, he said, "Screw checks and balances." The version he delivered was a little less in-your-face. It's interesting to see the rewrite, quite telling.

We see what Team Obama wanted to say and we see what they decided would play the best with the people.

Obama's so arrogant. I don't believe anything he says. I only look at what he does. His actions are what matter.

Last week, it was the Supreme Court's decision that did right a wrong. The Court restored our rights.

Limits on free speech were rightfully struck down.

Did you see Chuck Schumer jump and applaud Obama's sliming of the justices?

Obama was the one who went back on his promise to accept public financing for his presidential campaign, instead opting to raise and spend an unlimited amount of money.

He was the first candidate to do that since the campaign financing system was created in 1976.

Obama is such a hypocrite.

Thank God we have Justice Alito on the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution and defend our rights.
