So where did Politifact stick up for Obama? - here it is....

Posted: Jun 23rd, 2018 - 10:05 am In Reply to: Not during his first term which is what Romney was talking about. - Obama didn't visit Israel until 2013.

"Romney: Said as president, Obama has never visited Israel.

Romney repeated a claim first made during a campaign ad in August following his trip to Israel.

Romney said that Obama has not been to Israel "as president," and that assertion is correct.

The Washington Post’s Fact-Checker examined the archives of the historian’s office at the U.S. State Department and found that seven of the last 11 presidents (dating to Harry Truman, who was in the White House when Israel was established) never visited Israel.

Democratic Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were the only ones to visit during their first term. President George W. Bush went to Israel twice during his last year in office.

That historical context is noteworthy. But the Romney ad’s claim is still accurate.

We rated Romney’s statement as True."

This article is from 2012 and Obama visited in 2013 so where is the bias?

Sorry, I had to edit as I copied more than what I wanted to copy.
