Obama 'The View' Interview: President Talks Sherrod Firing, Afghanistan, Lindsay Lohan (VIDEO)

Friday, July 30, 2010


The parallel universe in which you live must be very wonderful for you...it lacks honesty, honor, and integrity. Facts really do not matter to you...at all!! Your approach illustrates that your opinion makes your rhetoric truth and fact. And, after your "mini-rant" about POTUS "broken promises", all that you offered was Windfall Profit Taxes on the Gas and Oil Industry? Really?

=====================================



Talk about your rants!



The only "opinion" I included was that Politifact's way of keeping score "is misleading". I explained why and included one (but not the only) example:



Politifact only recognizes 19 broken promises & cuts Obama much slack.



Politifact has gamed its way of measuring Obama's "promisekeeping"; its categories ('NO ACTION', 'IN THE WORKS', 'STALLED' or 'NOT YET RATED) are misleading. Many a campaign promise or pledge (hundreds of them) has been generously placed in these categories to languish.



As Politifact claims, "Once we find action is completed, we rate them 'PROMISE KEPT' 'COMPROMISE' or 'PROMISE BROKEN'". By Politifact's own definition, it enables Obama to keep these issues in limbo for 4 years. Hundreds of issues in limbo for 4 years.



One of many examples of Politifact's gaming its list is that Politifact doesn't even list in its "Promises Broken" category Obama's campaign promise to impose 'Windfall Profits Taxes on the Oil & Gas Industry" - Obama immediately reneged on it once in office, saying, "The prices have now dropped - We'll see about doing that if or when they rise again."
