The Lie: "President Obama....wants to mandate circumcision."

The Liar: Rush Limbaugh

The Context: On his August 25 show, Limbaugh responded to a song by hip hop superstar Jay-Z which told Limbaugh to "get off my balls."

Rush Limbaugh public domain

 Limbaugh: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Why It's a Lie: House Bill 3200 does not mandate circumcision. In his public statements, as either a candidate or as president, Barack Obama has not used the word circumcision.

The Context: "As far as I know I have never been mentioned in a rap song by anybody. I guess it means I've made it. I'm now in a rap tune by the famous rapper Jay-Z. (The song says) '[T]ell Bill O'Reilly to fall back. Tell Rush Limbaugh to get off my balls.' I would remind the rapper Jay-Z: Mr. Z, it is President Obama who wants to mandate circumcision. We had that story yesterday; and that means if we need to save our penises from anybody, it's Obama. I did not know I was on anybody's balls, either. I'm happy to know that they think I am, though! But I didn't actually know that I was."

Is There a Grain of Truth?: Not really. The only remote tie to White House policies regarding circumcision, Politifacts points out, is a series of HIV/AIDs discussions between the White House and the Center on Disease Control. But discussions about circumcision recommendations to prevent AIDS has been a topic with the CDC since 2007--when George Bush was president.

Very attractive event about this post, but still this argument is to complicate to debate.That is why we have managed to create a custom writing service to help hopeful students. They can buy term papers that is custom and made by expert , buy essays or even buy research papers. But when students use this kind of services – an ethical question is raised: Is it ok to use these kinds of services? Is it ok to use them, and will you be punished for using them.

Very amusing, I had no idea Obama was interested in everybody elses foreskins, this speaks volumes about the man and should serve as a warning to America, obviously, not content with putting his hands in your pockets, he now wishes to rummage ever deeper and on a sinister personal level. Do we need such intrusion from our elected representatives? I think not!!!
