October 5, 201213 yr From Politico: Fact Check Destroys Obama New one regarding Mr Romney's claim that Dodd Frank saved the banks that were too big to fail. But Dodd-Frank provides no promise that too-big-to-fail banks will be bailed out. Read more: Presidential debate: Fact-checking the Denver debate - POLITICO.com
October 5, 201213 yr Regarding the claim that 50% of college grads can't find work: Out-of-work college grads Romney: Obama’s economic policies are “not working….The proof of that is that 50 percent of college graduates this year can’t find work.” That’s an oversimplification. Romney was probably referring to an Associated Press analysis from earlier this year, which found that 53.6 percent of people under age 25 with bachelor’s degrees were unemployed or underemployed. But, according to the AP report, only about half of those 1.5 million young college graduates had no jobs. The other half were considered underemployed, which isn’t the same as saying they “can’t find work” since they were, by definition, employed.

October 5, 201213 yr Regarding the President's claim about increased cost of the R plan for healthcare: Rising Medicare costs Obama: The Republican Medicare plan “would cost the average senior about $6,000 a year.” This might be a stretch. Obama covered himself by pointing out that this estimate applied to Paul Ryan’s original Medicare plan. At the time, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank, estimated that the plan would shift nearly $6,400 in costs to seniors. But that plan had a hard limit on how much could be spent on Medicare each year — and Romney’s campaign says his plan has no such limit.

October 5, 201213 yr By the way, Lucky, this took me about an additional 10 minutes after I hit my Google machine with "debate fact check." It isn't that hard.
October 5, 201213 yr Very telling. I post an article that criticizes both when they felt they were not being factual and you think I handpicked it. It's really simple, Lucky. Look at the facts as presented and comment intelligently. It's not that hard. I do love the "game" comment. I am not expressing opinion. I am listing out what those who are supposedly fact-checkers have said. In most cases they have presented supporting evidence. You call that a "game?" Again, telling. This post is a perfect example of your "game" that you like to play on here so often. Spin it, Clyde... I'll rely on my ability to be a free and independent thinker. What I will not do is rely on Bloomberg Business Weekly to do that for me, a lot of that article is opinion and spin.
October 5, 201213 yr Politifact says Trump is NOT considered a small business as claimed by the President.
October 5, 201213 yr This post is a perfect example of your "game" that you like to play on here so often. Spin it, Clyde... I'll rely on my ability to be a free and independent thinker(WITHOUT LOOKING INTO ANY OF MY PRECONCEIVED NOTIONS). What I will not do is rely on Bloomberg Business Weekly to do that for me, a lot of that article is opinion and spin. Fixed it for you. You owe it to yourself to do research. It's not that hard.
October 5, 201213 yr By the way, Lucky, this took me about an additional 10 minutes after I hit my Google machine with "debate fact check." It isn't that hard. You win, Clyde. Have yourself a great day.
October 5, 201213 yr What I will not do is rely on Bloomberg Business Weekly to do that for me, a lot of that article is opinion and spin. Here's how debat works, Lucky. One person posts something to use as a basis for discussion. Those that disagree with its conclusions then point out the factual errors. What ISN"T debate? Hiding behind laziness and saying "it's spin." Don't be lazy, Lucky.

October 5, 201213 yr Clyde, your going to win the post and article contest. Let it go, lets get back on track... Is " back on track" debating? Or is "back on track" saying "Romney won because he seemed confident even though he struggled factually?" The latter a)isn't much fun and b)doesn't require much intellect. Let's get back to actual debating.
October 5, 201213 yr Is " back on track" debating? Or is "back on track" saying "Romney won because he seemed confident even though he struggled factually?" The latter a)isn't much fun and b)doesn't require much intellect. But it does require time. Time which I don't have right now. You have a wonderful day. Off to work for me.
October 5, 201213 yr But it does require time. Time which I don't have right now. You have a wonderful day. Off to work for me. I will ask Guru if he can keep it open for the weekend. You'll have plenty of time.
October 5, 201213 yr Romney spanked Obama and now Lucky is spanking Clyde. It's been a good week. Classic move, Michael, and fully expected. Ignore the fact that you can't answer a simple question . Come on. Man up. Tell us how Gov Romney showed he was well-versed on business and how he showed us he had the solutions. You made the assertion, right? Heck, even BGH backs up his lunacy with links. You're better than that, right?
