Truthiness

"If West Virginia had voted for our Democratic nominee in 2000 and 2004, we wouldn't have had to put up with George Bush for the last 7½ years."

2000, yes, but not 2004 Details

"They (Clinton and Obama) have never to my knowledge been involved in legislation nor hearings nor engagement on this issue (climate change)."

They have. Yours, in fact Details

Says Obama called Israel "a constant sore" that infects U.S. foreign policy.

Misquoting Obama's remarks Details

Praise, but not a formal endorsement Details

More uninsured, but blame skewed Details
