Obama Lied, 9,988 Died

Schmetails:

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed,” Obama told a crowd of 500 in Richmond on Tuesday.

The Greensburg devastation constitutes a tragedy all on its own, without the death toll being exaggerated 83,000%.

Video at Hot Air, where a commenter notes why Obama may have had the number 10,000 on the brain.

Obama, who has been speaking to huge crowds in other areas of the country, did not fill the ballroom of the art center. Most in the crowd waited for more than an hour before he arrived from a fundraiser at the home of a supporter in western Henrico County. There, people paid up to $10,000 to meet the senator for cocktails.
