(2,720 posts)...in the aggregate, is not the same thing as a specific group of state workers for a specific type of state job, in a state where Presidential intervention in local affairs would likely push things in the wrong political direction.
But hell, let's give you the Wisconson teachers one. It's close enough, I won't quibble. Most of the people who scream on the D.U. wouldn't know a referenced fact if it beat them over the head with a baseball bat. So be my guest and feel all smug about how he didn't intervene when the recall failed, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled against the strikers, and the protests dwindled to 1000 people.
However, your link is laughable. Most of those statements Politifact calls "false" were clearly true attacks against Republicans. Also, I think what you were looking for is this: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-broken/
As those are "broken promises", not "false statements". Although again, if you look at most of those "broken promises" they were made for spending on Democratic-favored causes that the GOP refuses to even consider. Had we still a Speaker Pelosi, those likely would mostly be true.

p.s. You know what's not considered a broken promise on Politifact? Put on your walking shoes and try to find it.
