4 They will go down the drain spinning this. They just don't know it yet. Ryan's speech knocked them silly. You could tell it watching MSNBC last night. They all totally lost it.

you mules can run but you cannot hide in saving the UAW you destroyed yourselves.

12 BREAKING NEWS! Obama to have BBQ celebrating his success in bailing out GM. He plans to strap Bo to the top of a Volt.

13 I am expecting to see a bitter, angry, vitriolic Democratic convention, partly because they have nothing of their own to stand on and partly because deep down they know that they are in a lot of trouble.

14 Gummint money flows into GM. GM money flows into UAW. UAW money flows into Dem campaigns. The circle of life. Let's end it.

15 10 Yeah. It wouldn't have anything to do with overpaying union fatasses to make a shitty product.

FOAD.

18 Ryan was and is amazing. They will try to rip him apart, take him down. As vital as Ryan is to the campaign, this election is not about just the men running, it is about the ideas. Are we on a journey to our own independent and exceptional lives, or are we Julia? They cannot kill the ideas

19 @14 I'm hoping one of Romney's criteria for cutting spending is- does it defund the left?

20 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

21 Ah, Gerg is back to compare apples to road apples. He prefers the road apples.

22 Yeah, this comment about Janesville sent Libtards into full foaming mouth mode. Sadly, their 'fact checking' machine is broken and it's true.

Oh yes, toldyaso.  I'm     sure you want to know how Ryan's    speech    will affect Romney's      poll     numbers.      The only way you can sleep at night is under the comforting belief that your Obama overlord   might up your chocolate ration tomorrow if you're a good little Obamabot.    No more Obama, no more chocolate    for you.    Boo hoo, so sad.

29 The plant suspended production while it waited for and hoped for an economic recovery.  There were not enough orders coming in so they temporarily halted production.   Obama took office.  They waited, and they waited, and they waited.  No recovery, no orders.  GM bailout - didn't help the Janesville plant .  So they closed their doors permanently, the same as they did here in Kenosha with the Chrysler plant.

Who wrote it for you?

40 Someone on twitter found this GM media release from June of 2009......


Snipped:



Two other GM assembly plants in Spring Hill, Tenn. and Janesville, Wis. were also under consideration to build the future small car. Spring Hill will be placed in standby capacity status in Nov. 2009, as announced earlier this month. The plant could be brought online at some point in the future should GM require additional capacity due to increased market demand. Janesville was placed on standby capacity in May 2009 and will remain in that status.

41 Question: with the speeches wrapping up so late last night, would Ras have been able to get info post-Ryan Speech, or would this not reflect that?

58 41 Correct. If Romney is even today after being three down on Sunday or Monday, that means he has been polling well that past couple of days, and tomorrow should be up again.

However, by August 2010, Chrysler announced closing the facility and its remaining 575 jobs. Effectively ending 108 years of automaking in Kenosha, the last engine was produced on October 22, 2010.

A slave is a lifetime investment indentured servants unless you broke the law were a finite rental.

The Obama press release which was reported by the Associated Press on February 10, 2010 said: "Reports that the GM plant I visited in Janesville may shut down sooner than expected are a painful reminder of the tough economic times facing working families across this country."

94 Is May 2009 before or AFTER Jan. 20, 2009?

That's not even the important part: Obama stood outside that plant and channeled the head of the East German Socialist Unity Party, and just like Honecker was proven wrong by that heartless bitch Reality.

People let us ALSO REMEMBER OBAMA TOOK OVER GM in the bailout!!  I mean Obama fired that CEO, put his own CEO and the wiped out white collar pensions, protected the union pensions, forced the closure of 1000s of dealerships and still owns 30 percent valued to taxpayers over 50 billion dollars.

 

Obama took over GM and he DID NOTHING to reopen that plant in Janesville!!  How can anyone on the left have the nerve to say that Obama could do nothing.  It closed in 2009...he had his stimulus, he had the Senate and House, he had taken over GM and he DID NOTHING to honor those words in 2008.  The nerve for liberals to pitch a fit over the date....ARE YOU KIDDING???  One person said....GM is a capitalist company that made the decision to close the plant....DUH!! Obama was running GM and owned it as the head of the US Government...he fired the CEO, kept certain pensions and then you tell me he could not say...I PROMISED THE PLANT in JANESVILLE back in 2008 that I would keep it open and that is my order??? Who at GM could have said no????  GM is no free market company it is a crony capitalism story of the worse kind.  In a capitalist market it should have gone through  normal bankruptcy and gone from there.  Obama ordered and changed that....he did not lift one finger to re-open that plant!

 

It is called Government Motors for a reason...we still own 30 percent of the company...Obama could get off his golf cart tomorrow and call the CEO and tell him to open that plant or he is gone!!

 

Obama lied in 2008 to get the vote and Ryan nailed him on it last night!

111 #66  I wonder if 46 points is the critical measure for B.O., because that number gets cited as the absolute given, below-which-is-not-possible for a Democrat, even by our guys.  So 45 and lower indicates something significant?  Dunno, but 45 must look lovely to R/R.

Ace said the election is over in the last post. I hope.

 

Someone smarter tham me check this out and tell me why it won't matter. The trend goes back to at least 1992:

 

Analysis: Lagging faith in Romney is GOP challenge

 

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney may have a bigger problem than his low likability and favorability ratings. Even among voters who support him, many say he will lose to President Barack Obama.

 

Pollsters say that's a serious handicap that deserves more notice than it's receiving. Republican image-makers, focused on trying to make Romney seem warmer, might be wiser to try to make him more plausible — as a commander in chief and as a politician who can defeat a seasoned campaigner like Obama.

 

Americans like winners, pollsters say. The "who do you THINK will win" question has a strong — but certainly not infallible — track record of signaling where an election is going.

 

The numbers are startling. Poll after poll shows Obama and Romney roughly even when people are asked the "horse race" question: who do you support for president? But Romney trails Obama badly when the same people are asked: Who do you believe will win?

In the narrowest sense, they can say that Paul Ryan was not completely accurate, and parse every word and sentence that he said.

 

In the larger sense, Ryan was absolutely right about a great many things, and nothing that Obama's apologists in the Massive Bullshit Media can change that.

 

We are in economic trouble.

We have ridiculously high Federal budget deficits

We have too many people dependent on the Federal budget

The Obama Administration wants more people on the Federal payroll, by destroying private insurance companies, and getting Federal employees to do that job.  More AFSCME and SEIU members. Magic. Democrat voters.

The 10 year reduction of 750 Billion from Medicare was a financial trick to get the OMB to score Obamacare better - less deficit making. Everybody winked that the Congress would go back and fix it  (the "Doc fix"), yet there it stands. Obama, Pelosi and Reid are liars.

A lot of the structural problems with GM and Chrysler were not fixed after the bankruptcy, and will yet come back to screw up GM.  Very shortly.  The Obama Regime interference was an example of grotesque government over reach and the "takings" of the Senior Bond Holders was unconstitutional.

 

The whole Obama interference with GM and the following mismanagement of GM has been like dropping a bomb on a lot of GM factory towns in Michigan and Ohio. I can't speak for Michigan, but there are a lot of people in Ohio that really hate Obama because of this. They may be GM/UAW workers, but they aren't complete imbeciles.

The upthrust of CJ's comments are a consequence of the Massive Bullshit Media's work of basically lying about polling, falsely weighting polls, and making the Muddle Middle of Undecided Concerned Citizens confused about how could Mitt win, and what's the point of voting for him.

 

It's a Psyops called disinformation.  It works on low motivation - low interest voters.

137 Remember, if nothing else this just juices the ethusism gap. That is what wins elections, not independents. I guess a tidal wave is even better with squishes joining too.

MATH!

What Captain liberal wants you to believe is 3 basic lies

1) you take 500 from your paycheck pay your visa 500 bucks use the visa to get 500 bucks cash and pay your mastercard...."I paid 1000 dollars in bills"

2) that "controlling cost by paying providers less" will result in ANYTHING other than a reduction in care provided

3) that tying the Obamacare cookie jar to medicare's cookie jar will double the amount of care provided at reduced cost.

Economics and MATH! are laws not suggestions.

162 >>Condi's speech was equally more moving than Ryan's, in an emotional sense, and it was a great speech, but I would disagree that it was more powerful than Ryan's. Different missions, different goals. Condi isn't running for anything and carried the weight of the Bush administration on her back at a time when people want to turn the page. Her goal was to make people understand that a strong America is the key to world stability, American leadership is not just a good thing it is a necessary thing. And she did it a time when Americans are focused on domestic issues. Don't get me wrong I loved the pick of Ryan and thought he was masterful last night. In her own way and on her own topic so was Condi.

170 These fact checkers are great! You know what we need? We need to federalize them into one non partisan department. We'll call it the Ministry of Truth...... 

171 One reason the libs are going nuts over this Janesville thing is that the whole passage of Ryan's speech about it said to middle-class voters, "I get it.  I get what you have been going through in this economy.  I come from a place where a huge plant has closed and my friends lost their jobs."  It was dynamite and the libs know it.  And then his reminder of Candidate Unicorn's lofty promise to keep the plant open for 100 years was devastating.  All the fact-checking going on today is going to lead a lot of people to read that speech of Obama's for the first time and remind them how much fairy dust he was selling in 2008. 

172 From the Janesville Gazette, February 2009

JANESVILLE — General Motors will end medium-duty truck production in Janesville on April 23, four months to the day after the plant stopped building full-size sport utility vehicles.

Anyone who is of a praying inclination, remember to keep GOP leaders in your intentions. Have you heard the story about the secret service guy leaving his firearm in the lavatory of the Romney plane? Suppose an unhinged moonbat reporter had gotten to it instead of the guy who found it, and turned it in to the flight crew?

Fact: Obama stated that it was his belief that if the government were there to support the plant, the plant would remain open for the next hundred years.

 

Fact: The plant is closed and has been closed for several years. Even if you want to debate the specific date the plant closed it is immaterial to the fact that the plant closed and has not reopened.

 

This leads to one of two conclusions. Either (A) Obama's government did not support and still does not support the plant, or (B) Obama's government was powerless to stop the closing and is powerless to reopen it.

213 For those of you who think Al Sharpy Sharpton only pulled the twana brawley heist: On Friday, December 8, at 10:12 a.m., Roland James Smith, Jr., 51, a Harlem resident with a criminal record going back 30 years, walked into Freddy's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store at 272 West 125th Street, pulled out a gun, ordered all the black customers to leave, spilled paint thinner on several bins of clothing and set them on fire -- a fire that resulted in killing 8 people including Smith. Smith had been part of a group of picketers, led by Al Sharpton , head of the National Action Network and Morris Powell , leader of the 125th Street Vendor's Association, who had been protesting the eviction of Sikhulu Shange, owner of the Record Shack who was subletting from Fred Harari, the Jewish owner of Freddy's. The picketing, which had gone on for months, had led Harari to seek relief with the State Supreme Court. In papers filed just one day before the fire, he said, "Recently, the protesters have made motions of striking a match and throwing it on outside clothing displays or in the doorway of the store." An affidavit by Kareem Brunner, a black security guard killed in the blaze, said that he had been called a "cracker lover" and "would get mine as a traitor [to the black race]." Brunner, was the only black that Smith did not order out of the store before setting it afire. MSNBC must be so proud

At this point, I have no idea how honest anybody's polls are.  They can come up with numbers and jigger the results with some "statistical" weighting fudge factor, and get the desired results.  (Sounds like the "math" behind Global Warming science.)

 

 

I know that large segments of the Massive Bullshit Media are jiggering with poll numbers to present to propaganda line that Obama is "winning", "ahead", "more popular", etc.  And they do it to influence the low motivation voters who just can't seem to make up their minds.

 

 

Harummph!

 

I am not voting for Mitt Romney because "I like Mitt".  I am voting for him because Obama is a disaster as a President and executive, and is incapable of leading or making difficult decisions.  He is a failure as President and if re-elected will be a disaster for the country.  We are about to go over the edge financially (California, Illinois are just about there now), and his lack of leadership on the budget has led to "sequester".

I agree about poll reliability. I can use that as a fallback option to dismiss the AP article. This is the part that got my attention:

 

"A recent AP-GfK poll found Romney and Obama essentially tied on the question of who they would vote for if the election were held today. But 57 percent of voters say Obama will win in November, while 33 percent think he will lose."

 

The same poll that reflects the general consensous in the first question shows a huge disparity in the second. Weights and sampling bias can't explain away a 24-point gap. I'm not trying to be Davey Downer. I'm pumped. But want to keep my head on straight.

Every time I see some poll result that shows teh SCOAMF tied  or barely ahead, I remember all  the other polls that show him in negative territory WRT his handling of the economy, the overwhelming  3-to-1 majority that thinks the country is on the wrong   track, and all the others that show JEF losing badly  to Mitt.

 

IMO, Charles K is spot-on when he says that polls are used to drive the MFM news,  and are  not a  true  reflection of public opinion.  Far too many won't tell pollsters much over the phone, due to the suspicion factor. I don't blame them.

What would the GOP be running on if they didn't have "You didn't build that?"

 

They'd run on a host of big juicy issues, but you mean what would be an Obama line to use as a unifying theme? "The private sector is doing fine."

248 If last night is any indication of the complete breakdown we'll be witnessing on MSNBC after the election, I might have to buy shit-ton of beer that Tuesday. "Mmmmm... the tears.... so salty.... Ed Schultz, your tears taste like salted butter... mmmm.... so salty... need to wash this down with something.... mmmmm...."

249 They'd run on a host of big juicy issues, but you mean what would be an Obama line to use as a unifying theme? "The private sector is doing fine."
===========
Ahh, that's right. So many amazing stupid lines from teh JEF, it's hard to remember them all.

250 Did you know that according to the site The New Civil Rights Movement stimulus, Solyndra, and subsidized jobs are "GOP dog whistles and code words?" Yeah, neither did I.

251 Obama truths- you didn't build that the private sector is doing fine energy prices will necessarily skyrocket I will have much more flexibility after my election

252

Hysterical liberals lie.

and then lie some more.

 

btw- I thought Condi was excellent!

253 248 What would the GOP be running on if they didn't have "You didn't build that?" Um, let's see, All 57 States, The Police Acted Stupidly, Clinging to Guns and Religion, Lead From Behind, Keep Your Tires Inflated, Keep Your Thermostat a Little Warmer in Summer and a Little Cooler in Winter... The list is endless.

254 Althouse: "And when Ryan riffed on the handful of jobs he briefly held, his Ayn Randian roots were clear." Joan Walsh @ Salon.

“When I was waiting tables, washing dishes, or mowing lawns for money, I never thought of myself as stuck in some station in life... I was on my own path, my own journey, an American journey where I could think for myself, decide for myself, define happiness for myself. That’s what we do in this country. That’s the American Dream. That’s freedom, and I’ll take it any day over the supervision and sanctimony of the central planners.” Paul Ryan 8-29-12 Convention
...

Ms. Walsh,

Ayn Rand did not invent the American Dream, American Rugged Individualism, or Self Determination. She was drawn to America because of them.

Those aspects unique to Ayn Rand were never Paul Ryan's "roots". Ryan promotes compassionate conservatism (Social Services) that Rand eschewed. And given his model, I doubt that Ryan's mother was a Rand fan, or that the Ryan family worshiped "Self" as Rand philosophized.

255

256 248 What would the GOP be running on...

You missed McCain's rehash.

257 /Condi's lipstick on her teeth was a visual distraction.

Kind of the same theme, but different line. Not as easy to do a riff on "The Private Sector is Doing Fine" and make it fit on a banner. So, thanks Barry!

You know a good way to hit at Obama would be the math route something like - for the first time in the history of mathematical caculations Obama has made it possible for 2 x 4 = 0. As in a second term (2) of four years (4) will equal zero (0) in terms of job creation, a surplus budget, respectibility, or any other measure of success for this country.

That was an awful line. I know it plays to the school choice crowd, but that's short-sighted. Once the good kids are able to move to another school (most likely in the same zip code) there will be plenty others left to fail. Or, the bad students just follow the good and make the choice school shitty.

 

Liberals would LOVE to blame zip code. More fuel for them take control of schools from communities (zip codes) and states and nationalize it. It's not zip codes, it's parents.

262 Point of order in regards to pudding: As a Ladyparts owner operator, what do I dip? Or is it a full immersion rite for the 'Ettes?

263 Maybe all you fact checkers need your facts checked. Let's take a look at the local newspaper from 2009. Who lied? It begin with the letter O. http://gazettextra.com/news/2009/feb/19/gm-plant-last-day-finalized/ For more truth look at the website I get my news from http://www.vistarepublic.com

264 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

265 From factcheck.org: ItÂ’s true that the plant didnÂ’t last another year, as Ryan said. In fact, the Business Journal in Milwaukee wrote that the assembly plant shut down on Dec. 23, 2008, at the tail end of the Bush administration, a victim of the financial crisis and dwindling demand for the SUVs produced at the plant. ThatÂ’s nearly one month before Obama was sworn into office. About 100 workers were kept on in 2009 to finish a truck order and help shut down the plant, according to the Associated Press. In short, you're being dishonest. Plus, you didn't even address the 4 other lies mentioned here: http://factcheck.org/2012/08/ryans-vp-spin/

266 Jon: This one is for you. Dishonest....not so. Critical thinker...guilty. http://tinyurl.com/8o2o2aj

267 Obama lied period. Let me explain with mathematical precision. Lets see which conditions of SCOAMF's 2008 statement were met. 1) GM receive govt. help = True 2) Plant is now closed = True 3) 100 years has elapsed = False. QED

268 Thanks Pablo, but that is irrelevant to what I was referencing. Schwalbe, that has nothing to do with Paul Ryan's statement. The fact is, the decision to close the plant was made in December 2008, before President Obama could have possibly done anything about it.

269 Furthermore, Schwalbe, how is it possible to lie about something that was predicted could happen in the future? That doesn't even make sense.

270 Jon, you are forgetting another speech. He promised to re-tool the plant for more efficient vehicles as part of his green energy program. He got the bailout money AND he got his green energy funding. Are you fucking retarded? He said it would REMAIN OPEN for 100 years. It is not open, even with the bailout and green energy funding, and 100 years has not passed, therefore A LIE.

271 Ryan did not say Obama closed it retard. He just repeated that Obama said he would KEEP IT OPEN. It aint open.

272 Tell me a truth and I will prove it a lie.

273 Sir, you are talking past me. Also, I would point out that I have been completely reasonable in my statements, yet you have resorted to name-calling, calling me 'retarded' twice now. We are talking about Paul Ryan's statement. Not then-candidate Obama's statement. Paul Ryan's statement is that President Obama is responsible for the closing of that plant, yes? The decision to close the plant was made before he could have done anything. Those are the facts. Allow me to provide you with an example for analogy. Let's say a restaurant is about to close down, and I, running for Mayor, promise that I will get state funding to support the restaurant. (Bear with me, I know it's not realistic.) I get elected mayor in November, to take office in January. In December, the restaurant goes out of business. Was I lying when I said I would get state funding to support the restaurant? Because that is exactly what you are accusing President Obama of doing. He had *no power* to stop the plant from closing, as he was not yet in office. I will tell you one thing, though. Had we not bailed out GM, massive amounts of people in Ohio and Michigan especially would be out of work, and our economy would be in the tank. But please, please, keep talking about how we shouldn't have bailed out GM. I'm sure Ohio and Michigan voters will appreciate that argument.

274 You are wrong again from the gate. Paul Ryan DID NOT SAY Obama closed the plant. I'm talking past you because you keep assuming to be true something that is FALSE. Paul Ryan made no claims as to whose fault it closed, simply that Obama made a promise, and failed to complete the fucking promise. Read English?

275 Your analogy fails also. The restaurant (GM) did not close down. It was bought with tax payer money, the CEO fired and replaced by an Obama stooge (Ratner) who had zero experience in the automobile industry. Kinda like Obama had zero executive experience. But none of that matters because Ryan never said what you imagine he said.

276 Actually, he didn't make a promise at all. This is what he said: Obama, Feb. 13, 2008: And I believe that if our government is there to support you, and give you the assistance you need to re-tool and make this transition, that this plant will be here for another hundred years. The question is not whether a clean energy economy is in our future, it’s where it will thrive. I want it to thrive … Ryan said this: My own state voted for President Obama. When he talked about change, many people liked the sound of it, especially in Janesville, where we were about to lose a major factory. A lot of guys I went to high school with worked at that GM plant. Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said: “I believe that if our government is there to support you, this plant will be here for another hundred years.” That’s what he said in 2008. Well, as it turned out, that plant didn’t last another year. It is locked up and empty to this day. And that’s how it is in so many towns today, where the recovery that was promised is nowhere in sight. There's a big difference between 'believing' something and promising that it will happen. Ryan is suggesting that it is Obama's fault that the plant didn't last another year, not that he closed the plant personally, but rather that he was responsible for the plant closing, breaking his 'promise' that he didn't actually make. Sorry, the analogy should have been that the restaurant was part of a chain, which was bailed out, but the individual restaurant fails. The point remains that President Obama *was not in office* when the decision was made to close the plant. Period.

277 Also, an update on the factcheck.org story: Update, Aug. 30: A Ryan spokesman argues that the GM plant technically remained on “standby” status, meaning it was possible that the company might resume production there. But as a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story noted nearly a year ago, “no one seems to be counting on that.” So in other words, the plant was closed. Candidate Obama did not make any promise that it would remain open, and could not have done anything about it in any case.

278 Um so the whole 'Ryan lied!!!!' is based on whether the words 'I believe' mean the same as a pinky-swear promise???????? That is weak ass shit for the whole American media to hang its hat on. So lets recap: Ryan said in his speech that at the time of Obama's speech the workers knew the plant was in danger of closing. Obama made the promise BELIEVE that the plant would remain open for 100 years if they got G'vment help (which they did), and it finally closed. Can you point me to Ryan's lie now? I forget.

279 No, that's just one of 5 lies that factcheck.org found in the speech. Read the factcheck.org article again. They did a very good job of summarizing what was incorrect about what he said. Let's look again at what Ryan said in this instance. "A lot of guys I went to high school with worked at that GM plant. Right there at that plant, candidate Obama said: “I believe that if our government is there to support you, this plant will be here for another hundred years.” That’s what he said in 2008." A slight misquote of President Obama, but true enough. The problem comes here: "Well, as it turned out, that plant didn’t last another year. It is locked up and empty to this day. And that’s how it is in so many towns today, where the recovery that was promised is nowhere in sight." The plant didn't last another year and is empty. Both of those statements are true. What is not true is the *implication* that Ryan is making. The implication he is making is that President Obama let those people down somehow because he said he believed the plant would remain open and it did not. But that's simply not the case. President Obama had no control over whether that plant would close. There would be literally no point for Ryan to bring this up at all if not to criticize President Obama. Thus, it stands to reason that that is what he was attempting to do, which is also given credence by the presence of the "recovery" jab at the end. Therefore, it is clear he is accusing President Obama of being responsible for the closure of that plant, which is completely dishonest.

280 Sorry, I don't see the lie in any of it. You say Ryan implied something, well didn't Obama *imply* he had the power to keep it open for 100 yrs if they voted for him and he gave them got G'vt help? Like I said above, GM got the help, and it closed anyway. Obama fired the CEO and replaced him with his stooge. He had no say/power in the matter. Yeah, OK Like I said, if all you have is he didn't Promise promise, that's weak shit, and you should be ashamed of trying to defend it. Question: Did you spend this much time on the timeline of the Romney caused cancer story? You know, like she had her own insurance when the guy got laid off?

281 Let's ignore that. That is not the crux of the problem with Ryan's statement, and I did not intend to make it seem like it was. Ryan implied that Obama was responsible for the shuttering of the plant. That is false. You're repeating a bunch of information, but it doesn't really go to my argument. What the President did afterwards is not relevant here. I will ask you two questions: 1) Do you honestly think that Mr. Obama believed he had the power to keep it open, when he was not even elected at that point? 2) Was President Obama responsible for the shuttering of the GM plant, as Ryan implied? I think the answer to number 1 is clearly no. Mr. Obama did not believe that, and I'm sure he was very disappointed at the plant closure, but there's nothing he could've done. The answer to number 2 is also clearly no. Therefore, given that Mr. Ryan is implying he was responsible, Mr. Ryan's statement is false. That is what factcheck.org and numerous other reputable news organizations have found. Your second paragraph is non sequitur. I really encourage you to read the factcheck.org article and other news coverage. This is hardly just my opinion.

282 Why should I read factcheck when they lead off with a falsehood. Ryan didn't blame Obama for the plant closing. Period. As to your 1) Obama certainly *implied* he could keep it open for 100 years if they voted for him. Again, Ryan made no false statement. He simply stated facts. He didn't say Obama closed it. He said they were already worried it may close. He repeated Obama's 100 years claim. Then finished with the final fact. It closed. End of story. No lies. No distortion, no 'out of context.' All you are left with is 'there is a difference between a promise and a 'believes.' Weak ass shit. And factcheck, as well as you, knows it because you are both changing tunes. He may not have lied, but he IMPLIED.
