Fact-checking Obama's first ad

By all accounts, it's going to be one doozy of an election year for political ads.

Dozens of "super pacs" are now in the game, with unlimited funds to buy political ads in relation to whatever candidate they like.

They can raise lots of money, unlimited, in fact.

Obama too is in this game, with lots of super pacs supporting him.

In his first ad, he makes claims that FactCheck.org say are mostly false and misleading at best.

Here's the link.

Our friends at FactCheck have lots of facts to check on Republican candidates for president as well.

Their site is a treasure trove of truth. But Politifact and the Washington Post have good fact checkers as well.

In Minnesota, the best fact checkers I've found are at Minnesota Public Radio. Here's the link to their fact check site.
