Perhaps the most powerful moment of President Obama’s moving address yesterday came when he announced that Representative Gabrielle Giffords had opened her eyes for the first time during a visit from some of her colleagues in Congress.

Now, Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit blog suggests that moment did not happen as Obama described it. He points to a news article suggesting that Giffords had opened her eyes before yesterday and, in quite a leap, accuses the president of lying.
