What happens when the "fact-checkers" don't check facts and the "watchdogs" don't watch? Consider the case of those who claim to be watching politicians for lies and deceptions and pretend to analyze Senator Barack Obama's new patriotic "Country I Love" television ad, airing in 18 states.
The Annenberg Political Fact Check, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, and Washington Post media reporter Howard Kurtz have written analyses of the Obama ad. But they are as flawed as the ad itself.

Thought it said "Courtney I. Love"
Need more coffee.
Very funny..... Then again, perhaps he loves Courtney more than his country? Who knows with Obama - don’t think he’d know the truth if it slapped him in the face.
The media is on his side and it is up to all Freepers to point out these facts to friends, family members, and strangers when provided the opportunity.
Pure socialist/communist
It’s so evident from the pronouncements of the liberal (socialist) democratic party that they believe in socialist ideals and directions. The latest is the nationalization of refineries
If they can take refineries, just as Chavez has done in Venezuela, then they can take your small business, your house, your family, your life.
In socialism the government owns everything.

Maybe he understood what Nixon meant?
Sounds like a travelogue for Kenya. Or perhaps Indonesia. Or maybe even Mecca's holy land of Saudi Arabia itself.
The Supreme Court has established as much in saying that you can be forced by a township to sell your "private" property to another private entity (like a connected business developer) if the community finds it to their advantage (say a sales tax generating mall or bar where your private home once stood).
The media is in love with Obama and will give him a free pass.
He loves some country that has 57 states...
While eminent domain as currently understood is a shadow of socialism, real full blown socialism actually owns everything. You don’t. They do.
