Barack Obama's campaign says his recovery has outpaced Ronald Reagan's in job creation Politifact.com Stephanie Cutter, a top Obama campaign aide, said the jobs recovery has been bigger under Barack Obama than under Ronald Reagan. Is that correct? (...) Our ruling Even using Cutter’s cherry-picked formulation, job creation under Obama has dramatically trailed the pace set by Reagan. In fact, adjusting for the size of the workforce, Reagan’s recovery was more tha ...

Haven't actually read it yet, but wanted to make it available to all of us. Okay, now I've read it. It's actually quite funny at the end (re. horses). ...

almost. Almost all of the writers churning out fact checks for Snopes have a liberal background, and many of them have expressed contempt for Republican voters. The Daily Caller could not identify a single Snopes fact-checker who comes from a conservative background. Snopes did not respond to a list of questions from TheDC regarding the site’s ideological leaning. At least two of the site’s fact-checkers joined Snopes after writing for Raw Story, a far-left publication that describes ...

Some very interesting info in this article. President Barack Obama misrepresented the House Republicans’ budget plan at times and exaggerated its impact on U.S. residents during an April 13 speech on deficit reduction. Obama claimed the Republicans’ "Path to Prosperity" plan would cause "up to 50 million Americans … to lose their health insurance.” But that worst-case figure is based in part on speculation and assumptions. He said the GOP plan would repla ...

I accidently wrote a large check from my acct instead of someone else's. A week(!) after the overdraft, I received the notice online. I have been charged $35 three times a day for 1 week. Once a day would be reasonable, but 3? Is this normal? This is the first overdraft that I can recall. I wanted your thoughts before calling the bank tomorrow. Tried finding info online, but keep getting routed to their overdraft protection services sign-up page. Thanks for any info. ...

All the pundits, news bloggers, etc. are making fun of Romney's comment on Iran and Syria. I was curious, so looked up a map of the Syria and the relationship between Syria and Iran. It sits on the Mediterranean Sea. So, no problem with Iran building a naval station in Syria. It gives Iran 2 ways to get to the open ocean and since Iran and Syria are bestest buddies, it makes sense. It would also give Iran and Syria access to missles being able to hit our allies since Iran's missles wo ...

http://www.factcheck.org/2012/02/did-obama-approve-bridge-work-for-chinese-firms/ "This email is an example of how things get distorted and go viral — even when the facts are just a click away. It’s true that ABC News did a report on Chinese firms winning contracts to repair U.S. bridges. But the report pointedly said states were to blame. It didn’t mention federal funds — let alone stimulus funds — except to note that California turned down federal money to avoid ...

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. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-bill-clinton-fact-check-20120906,0,1262499.story ...

The facts: On September 12, the day after the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Obama said in comments in the Rose Garden that he had learned about the attack on the consulate the night before. "Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe," he said. "No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, ...

WASHINGTON — Buyers, beware: President Barack Obama says his health care overhaul will lower premiums by double digits, but check the fine print.

and that democrats are beginning to panic over their inability to keep everyone in the dark. Here's what's said in the email: We've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging... I fear we are all now trying ...

Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition. Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout ...
