The facts vs. Mitt Romney
The facts vs. Mitt Romney

“Good morning,” he began, though it was already afternoon. The accuracy of his statements went downhill from there.
He blamed President Obama for the “weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression.”
He said he would save “about $100 billion a year” eliminating Obamacare.
He accused the president of “taking a series of steps that end Medicare as we know it.” And he claimed Obama had created an “unaccountable panel, with the power to prevent Medicare from providing certain treatments.”
Incorrect, wrong, false and fictitious. And that was just a sample from one Romney speech on one day.
Fortunately, fact-checkers in the press, such as The Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler and the Tampa Bay Times’ PolitiFact, have been diligently pointing out Romney’s whoppers. Unfortunately, this has had little, if any, effect on his prodigious output.

times by the wingnuts and allowed to stand unchallenged in the M$M that I hear even Democrats repeating them:
1. That Obama cut $500 million from Medicare. That is a lie. What Obamacare does is streamline the administrative process, addressing fraud and waste.
2. That Obamacare will lead to job losses. That is a lie. In fact, it is the opposite. Jobs in several health related fields will increase, and indeed, there are tax credits for small businesses that hire these professionals.
Again, these two lies have been repeated so much that I'm hearing liberals/Democrats repeat them, too!
It's driving me up the fucking wall!!!!!
