Obama Campaign Continues "Full Assault" On The Facts
3/26/2008 1:12:19 PMThe Obama campaign's full assault on Hillary is expanding into a full assault on the truth.
The memo the Obama campaign released today is full of blatantly inaccurate information and false innuendo, intended to denigrate Hillary's critical role in the passage of SCHIP and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Clearly, they believe that the media will overlook the facts and follow another false, trivial story line of their creation.On SCHIP, Sen. Ted Kennedy said, "The children's health program wouldn't be in existence today if we didn't have Hillary pushing for it from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue." At the time of passage in 1997, Sen. Kennedy said, "we pay tribute to Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton has made the issue of children's health and well-being her really first priority in this country, and she was of invaluable help, both in the fashioning and the shaping of the program, and also as a clear advocate, in terms of having an effective outcome, during the discussion and the debate on the children's health issue."
Factcheck.org says "Despite disparagement from political rivals, we find she deserves ample credit for expanding children's health insurance." More facts HERE.
On FMLA, Debra Ness, President of the National Partnership for Women and Families, the organization that worked for years on the issue, said "Hillary was instrumental in getting the Family and Medical Leave Act signed into law...Hillary brought her work and experience on behalf of children and working families to the campaign trail in 1991 and 1992 and knew the importance of getting this legislation passed immediately." More facts HERE.

Ya know... I could work 24/7 trying to counter the BS coming out of BO's camp, but sadly, that wouldn't pay the bills or provide health insurance for my family. So I'll just have to rely on the Fact Hub for a bit of help here. Check out the link guys - this stuff is backed up by the facts. And it's time the press and the media started doing their job by challenging the BS they hear during BO's pressers each day.
