Dems Can’t Keep Stuff Straight, Either 1
From FactCheck dot org on the candidates’ AFL-CIO forum. Click the link for detailed analysis:
- Sen. Joseph Biden said none of the others “has a better labor record than me.” Actually, they all have better AFL-CIO “lifetime” ratings than Biden.
- Sen. Barack Obama attempted to revise his own earlier remarks about invading Pakistan, claiming: “What I said was that we have to work with” Pakistan’s president. But the record shows Obama didn’t actually say that.
- Obama also said he would call “the president of Canada” about trade matters. Actually, that nation doesn’t have a president.
- Sen. John Edwards said the North American Free Trade Agreement “has cost us a million jobs.” That million-job estimate is disputed.
I would submit that none of the errors are in the same league as these. Please discuss (both of you).

It’s FactCheck’s story and they should stick to it.
