I like to read the fact checking articles that come out of many of the news organizations. With all the sensational hype and bias that tends to lead our daily news cycle, it's refreshing to see somebody pull back, take the time to do a little research and report more than one perspective on an issue. I always thought that was the spirit of journalism but it seems to have lost it's way in recent times.
Jake Tapper had an article today over at ABCNews.com that followed up on President Obama's statement that the AARP publicly supports the healthcare reform bill. Apparently, the AARP doesn't support or endorse the current bill and wanted to clarify so we, the citizens of the country, aren't mislead by words that just aren't true.
'Red' decided to pitch in their two cents in the comments section. We can certainly tell 'Red' is passionate in their beliefs however, it appears that they may have to have somebody do some fact checking on their statement as well. While they tried hard, I fear they may be a little off base with their remarks. If they're not, I think we've all got a heck of a lot more to worry about than we may think we do...
America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were a direct result of 9/11. Get your facts straight. Also, Obama has spent more money in 6 months than all of the other administrations COMBINED. The results: record job losses and debt. The money went into the pockets of politicians and their cronies.
Obama went to Mexico to coordinate troop movements when he will institute MARTIAL LAW. JUST WAIT!!!!!

I'm going to sit back and 'just wait', but I'm hoping that what I'm waiting for ISN'T Martial Law...
