Fact Checking the State of the Union
I’m addicted to factcheck.org and I usually run to it after major speeches and political events to see how much of the wool was pulled over my eyes. I have yet to hear from one politician that hasn’t told a skewed version of their truth and it causes me to wonder why. Are they so concerned with getting elected that they tell the American people what we want to hear?
The speech in my opinion was the most inspiring State of the Union I’ve ever heard and the President made some very good points regarding our current situation. A lot of the problems we face today are due to things that happened in the past and I admire the effort he’s making to fix some of those things. While still important, I’m glad the Administration is regrouping and not putting so much their energy into health care. There’s so much to fix and the Democrats and Republicans need to buddy up and work together. It’s a big hope, but I do hope they can come together with some solutions to fix the economy and health care. All of this bickering and fighting is childish and the world is watching.
According to fact check they found “the president strained the facts at times. The Republican response had its problems, too”. To read what they found in the speech check out Obama’s State of the Union Address.
