September 5, 201214 yr Busted..... Media Fail to Fact-Check Michelle's Speech From the article: Evidently, fact checking is a weapon to be deployed against Republicans first and foremost. Those poor republicans. :lol: The Atlantic, for example, went after Ann Romney's "hardknock early years" after her speech to the Republican National Convention. An army of fact checkers, professional and amateur, slammed Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan's address the next night--though there was no basis whatsoever for their so-called corrections. As I don't read/listen to FoxNews, did they also go hard against Ann Romney and Paul Ryan?
September 5, 201214 yr Remember there is a difference between embelishing and lying. Agreed. Their struggle may have been caused by spending habits not necessarily lack of money. Their struggle is a struggle nonetheless and it appears as though she may have embellished a little. She has been the wife of a Chicago politician and on the Washington scene for a while now. Guess it comes with the territory. I still love the Obamas.
September 6, 201214 yr Bill will rock the house. America's greatest living President! He didn't make a living making B Movies either.
September 6, 201214 yr Author Is this what you think the "founding fathers" wanted? Just curious. Yes
September 6, 201214 yr @rolandsmartin: No one, not a single of my predecessors, could have fully repaired the damage he found in four years. That was Clinton's strongest line yet
September 6, 201214 yr On the 716 billion dollars 'that is exactly to the dollar the same amount of Medicare savings that Obama has in his own budget....' "It takes some brass to attack a guy for doing what you did. " :lol: :lol:
September 6, 201214 yr The article cited earlier states no facts. It makes some assumptions. I drank a few beers in college, but I was a struggling student on work study. I ran for Student government and was paid a paltry 400.00 for holding office and went to Cancun with that money. That doesn't mean I wasn't struggling. What were the facts that were wrong in the First Lady's speech?
September 6, 201214 yr From a strategy perspective and from an effectiveness perspective Pres Clinton was a huge success. I'd imagine by morning we'll have some fact checkers find some issues. Prior to his speech the night was rather dull.
September 6, 201214 yr I think Cici Goldwater (casting the Arizona delegation's votes for Obama) may be hammered.
September 6, 201214 yr The roll call of the states is great. Each state give a mini-speech. Each ham has to bloviate.
