I am no fan of Kessler
and his fact checks. But Obama used a poor example and spoke poorly about it. I wouldn't give this four pinoccios. I would likely have waited to rate it at all, but the simple fact is at best Obama spoke ahead of the facts in this case. He should have used a more clear cut example of federal employees who were for sure going to be laid off or furloughed.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
