CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Obama campaign said Tuesday that they care about the truth of their attacks.

"We work very hard to get it right. We look at the facts. We vet what we say," Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an ABC/Yahoo News panel.

They care about them, they just don't tell them.

Really? How about the 300% increase in energy costs I am paying now compared to 4 years ago.

Care to address those facts 0bama?

So then they should have no problem with discussing the following facts: Unemployment over 8% for 31 straight months. Gasoline at record highs. National debt increased by a third during his administration. Record food stamp recipients. Record foreclosures....

The fact checkers support obama and they have no truth in them either... just like the liar in chief.

We work very hard to get it right. We look at the facts. We vet what we say,"

When you start out with the biggest lie of all, and some people believe it, then, everything else will seem quite factual to those people.

The biggest fact of all is that, there is a huge ignorant part of the electorate that is not paying attention, and they can be easily duped, and that's what democrats and Obama count on.

How about some facts re Fast & Furious? Hmmm?

"We work very hard to get it right. We look at the facts. We vet what we say,"

I actually believe all these things. Here's why:

They work hard to get their message right. They look at the facts and how to spin them. They vet what they say... vet means "make a careful and critical examination of (something)" so I fully believe they vet their statements to sharpen up their message.

So does this mean that unlike 2008, Obama’s staff will NOT claim that he is a “lifelong Christian”, that “his parents came together because somebody marched in Selma”, that he’s “been to 57 states not including Hawaii and Alaska”, et al?
