Soledad, I'm happy we are now refering to organizations such as factcheck.org to verify certain political claims. However, all I'm hearing each day are the false statements the GOP folks are making. As you know, factcheck.org researches and publishes the false and true statements coming from the Democrats as well. It seems as if you are taking a non-bias report and reporting it in a bias fashion (picking and choosing which informatoin to report). I don't think that is what factcheck.org intended. Please be fare in your reporting.
Give her a break! Being fair is one thing, availability of resource is another, and when it comes to outrageous distortions, lies, and propagandizing, the Republicans do it far more than the Democrats and to a far-greater extreme, so there's a lot less democratic material out there to find in comparison.
The only thing they've done to accept the harm they've caused is to say that yes, Obama walked into a horrendous situation, because they finally realized that most Americans accept that it was the Republican administrations and policies that caused the economic cesspool we're in, and that it would appear disingenuous if they did not concede that on one hand while trying to blame him for the difficulty of the recovery on the other; otherwise, they wouldn't give him even that. And they'll never say that the obstructionist Republican caucus in Congress contributes greatly to the painful length of recovery or that their prime objective, as stated my Senate Majority Leader McConnell and others is to see the president fail so he won't be re-elected, even though though that means failure and pain for the country—they'll never repeat that! And for that, Republicans deserve every thrashing they get for every vapor they put out there.
Sorry, that's "Senate MINORITY Leader McConnell," thank God.
