The Daily Background

For months now, Barack Obama’s campaign has been posting items on a minisite called factcheck.barackobama.com. The purpose of the site, according to the campaign, is to debunk false attacks on the Illinois Senator (the first two items posted were about Obama’s patriotism and religion).

Today the campaign published this haiku-sized nugget:

Former President Bill Clinton said today: There’s a one-minute ad on in Texas telling you how terrible things were in the 90s. [NBC, 2/27/08 LINK]

FACT: No such ad exists. [reality, 2/27/08]

I love that for a source, they cited reality.

Update: First Read has more.
