Fact checkers have hard-pressed

Posted: Sep 7, 2012

Bill Clinton Courts Fact Checkers, Earns Mostly Praise. For those whose campaigns will not allow fact checkers to "dictate" to them, feel free to diss to your heart's content, but when all is said and done, the FACTS are the only thing that will remain standing.

Yeah, I was just slightly disappointed... - (see message)

....in Obama's speech last night, but I think he didn't necessarily need to cover so much detail because Bill Clinton had already done a fabulous job of spelling out so many facts.

Go, Obama!

Disagree somewhat. - backwards typist

Need more? I'll be glad to help you with those. Have fun with the links.

I won't be having fun with.... - ...the links. (s/m)

It's not worth the effort to copy and paste links when they're listed like this....at least not to me.

Aw, shall I do them one at a time? Would that be easier? (nm) - backwards typist

Nahhhh, don't bother. :-) - (see message)

I'm just givin' you a hard time....I wouldn't bother looking at them if you posted the URL links, anyway (although I'm NEVER likely to copy and past a link the way you posted it there). I saw and heard enough fact checking after Bill Clinton's speech from a lot of sources that say there was not much they could find fault with.

It wouldn't make me change my mind about who I'm voting for to read your links, anyway, but I'm guessing you probably already know that. :-)

Okay. Then ignore my FactCheck message- which you will anyway. :-) - backwards typist

But you hurt my feelings because of all the work I did. ;-)

Sorry, I never mean to hurt... - (see message)

....anyone's feelings. Don't worry--contrary to how it seems this afternoon (haha), I know I'm not the only person who reads these boards, so I'm sure others will benefit from all that effort.

BTW, I hope you can interpret my tone here....I'm really trying to be good-natured, but I know it doesn't always come across on these forums.

Yes, I can and I hope you interpret mine the same. - backwards typist

It is hard to come across on the boards without sounding _____________ (fill in the blank).

Sometimes things can get out of hand, but I try to stay calm and even walk away from the board at times (I have to pretend I do some kind of work at home during the day lol).

Have a good day.

Here's an easy one for you. It's FactCheck.org - backwards typist

You'll like that one. It's a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center.

Oh yeah, that's a good one. Michelle wrote it - LOL

[ In Reply To ..]
Or maybe his kids wrote it. Might as well. You've got a site, funded by a liberal organization. Of course they are going to write what they did.

Factcheck is anything but factual.

This is such a hard question to ask but you guys seem to give great advice and I need some direction. I have been married for 21 years with 4 kids but I am finding that I have changed so much and although I love my husband I am not in love with him and I would much prefer to just be left alone. He can be verbally abusive even though if I ever said that he would never believe it. He does not see what others see. I have reached a point where I just don' ...

Sometimes, when I read posts about MTs going through hard times (many of us these days), I think about inviting one of them to stay in my home for perhaps a year in order to get a little ahead. I live alone in a rural area and have a lovely home. There's not much to do here, but it's pleasant enough, and the cost of living is reasonable. I've been through a few rough patches myself, but I'm with a pretty stable company now and am enjoying my work. I� ...

everyone else if you want to get by." Spoken by our President who announced he was a black man at Morehouse speech. This is how he promotes racism and division. No, Obama, maybe 40 years or so ago you did, but now you don't have to work twice as hard. You just have to WORK and do a good job, like everyone else. Stop with the dividing remarks. You are asking for another civil war, I truly think that's what you want. You will probably get it. ...

Sitting here at my desk crying. Can't believe how in the last 3-4 years my income has dropped. Barely making it. Wondering how I will come up with money to pay rent the first of the month.

Then, they tell me they don't give help for bills under $500. Why not tell me that BEFO ...

Sitting here admits tears and trying to stay focused. Four years ago today, at 4:23 a.m., my world changed. My apartment burned to the ground with everything lost. What a horrible thing to watch everything you own be destroyed. Everything I had worked hard for to go up in a short amount of time. Precious memento's left from my grandma, mom, dad and brother never to be seen again or able to be replaced. Yes, I am thankful that my fiance and I and our pet ...

My local news is trying to get us to donate money and I am not feeling this at all. I wish they would cover the tent cities, the senate hearings about the financial crisis, the joblessness, the soldiers and their families....anything "American," but all I see is Haiti. The truth is that tons of relief supplies are sitting at the airport right now and people and money on the way. If they could not rebuild New Orleans, how are they going to rebuild Haiti? In the list ...

that certainly was true 100 years ago. Not any longer. work hard and have your 401K dissolved. Work hard and your job is going to China. The decisions in this country are made by the wealthy now.

Here is a good article for review on how the financial world goes around.

Unless you're making deviled eggs, or want to carry one in your lunch bag, you don't need the hassle of cooking it and then peeling it. If you're going to chop it up for egg salad or curried eggs, it's way easier just to poach it hard. Cooks faster and you don't have to deal with peeling them one at a time. I also found a curried egg recipe that I love. It's super easy. Just buy a jar of Alfredo sauce (in the spaghetti sauce section), add ch ...

Ohio voting just got a little harder, not because early voting has been cut down, and not because of new ID restrictions. That's right. Republicans are doing everything in their power to ensure a win in Ohio. The latest tactic works on a county by county basis. County by county it is decided whether or not to extend hours at the voting sites. Each county has a commission comprised of two dems and two pubs. You would think this would be a good thing to extend hours in this state right? ...

Do I totally blame Obama for how the economy is now? Heck no .. it has been 20-30 years in the making. It's just that this spending, spending, spending that scares the crap out of me.

His goal is not to solve the immigration crisis -- you don't grant legal status to 5 million illegal immigrants, then leave the back door wide open if you're interested in solving the problem. His goal is not to help illegal immigrants -- he instead leaves them in limbo by granting them temporary work permit ...
