Fact checking community. "the washington post" came out with the outsourcing story which they wanted a retraction and did not get it. yet its the same "post" that gave four pinocios to an obama campaign ad that raised this whole issue. still they havent been able to turn this issue around, they meaning the romney campaign. howard, do you understand what im saying? >> yes, i do understand what youre saying. i think its largely for the reason that joan pointed out. in their effort to nail that dow...

Only reason were having this discussion is that president obama raised it, brought it to the publics attention, went around the country talking about it. you would not be hearing about the absolute necessity of insuring that these loan rates didnt double if it werent for president obamas decision to highlight this need, and in the end were going to get this done, i believe, because thats the action that he took, and we are actively working with members of congress to get this done. i would -- yo...

Trumps assertions. he said clearly he was born in kenya, like there was no doubt in his mind that the president was born in the united states. of course he doesnt actually agree with that but its a great way for him to promote himself. everybody came out against the attack on reverend wright. what they decided to do instead, instead of using the racial jeremiah wright attacks, they have decided to finance a film calling the obama ideology anti-columbo luo tribesmen. so clearly, this is a strateg...

His assertions that make absolutely no sense. trump tried to insist, to wolf blitzer that many, many, many people simply dont believe president obamas birth certificate is authentic and wolf blitzer simply wanted to know who those people are. >> give me a name. >> there are many people -- i dont give names. >> of course trump has no names. as the interview made absolutely plain. wolf blitzer asked a follow-up question that ive been dying to ask, since the day trump lied and said he sent investig...

Al-awlaki is said to be on a cia hit list approved by president obama. if the news does turn out to be accurate, as many sources are now reporting this morning, it would be a major blow to al qaeda and a victory for the united states and the fight against terrorism around the world. meanwhile, in pakistan, we turn now where yesterday more than 50 politicians and military leaders came together to issue a strong rejection of claims made by outgoing joint chiefs chairman that the countrys leading s...

>> the time for the president to go into campaign mode. >> well, i would suggest, mr. president, that youd think about ways to actually help the people of kentucky and ohio instead of how you can use their roads and bridges as a backdrop for making a political point. >> the interesting thing is, as awful as the democratic plans for our economy and our banking system have been since they came into power, the republican plans tend to be worse. which goes to tell you that the financial system contr...

Henry from the fox news channel. his reaction: >> he denied it, he said that the vice president didnt make those assertions. if he doesnt want to admit what was on tv nationally, all over the place, how can you even have a conversation? then he decided to say we cant have a conversation because youre saying that i called you a terrorist. and the fact is, it demonstrates the deep divide that he is unwilling to negotiate without going after the other side. i mean, the whole day was about going aft...

That will help not discourage this recovery from gaining more strength, still leave room for investing in our future, and honor our basic compacts on medicare and social security. the president thinks that is possible but understands its going to require compromise on all sides, from democrats and republicans. >> i want to ask you something in that vain about something the president said in his weekly address. >> the government has to start living within its means, just like families do. we have...

Honor our basic compacts on medicare and social security. the president thinks that is possible but understands its requiring compromise on all sides, democrats as well as republicans. >> i want to ask you something in that vain about something the president said in his weekly address. >> the government has to start living within its means, just like families do. we have to cut the spending we cant afford to put the economy on a sounder footing and give the businesses the confidence they need to...

About $161,000 in government aid to bachmann & associates, government funding. it does raise some questions about some of -- that are bound to raise questions about some of the bachmanns assertions about cutting back government programs. >> michael, listening to what she told chris wallace about that money going to the clinic. >> this was a one-time training money that came in from the federal government. it certainly didnt help our clinic. it was something that was additional training to help e...
