Though I would like to see links and articles on your posts because I don't recall any of this....except the last one, which I would disagree with the "exceeded" part since he didn't send as much as his generals requested.

Here you go.

As for the last one, you'll note that I said he exceeded his campaign promise, which isn't the same as exceeding the general's request. He promised during the campaign to send 2 more brigades into Afghanistan. He sent more than that.

With all due respect, politifact is an arm of the St. Pete Times, one of the most rabid left wing papers in America. Do you have any objective/unbiased links? On a side note, Dear Leader should invite you to the WH, you're unwavering loyalty is commendable.

They did just win a Pulitzer prize for their work. I guess the Pulitzer people are biased too? I think it would be more useful if you could show their bias, say on a particular point, rather than just dismissing their work altogether.

Nah, they're just as objective as the Nobel people. sometimes I swear that the left and right live in parallel universes.

Pulitzer was an award based on bias & "yellow journalism". I cannot believe people don't know the history of the man.

I have no idea if they are or aren't biased. That's why I asked. I'm not part of "the left" by the way. Is there some particular example where the politifact site is wrong or biased? I am legitimately curious because on the surface it seems like a pretty good source of information, which it hard to find.

Igave you a rep point so you aren't sitting at triple sixes, despite the tone of your post. Not everyone can know everything. Goodness.

• He sent additional brigades to Afghanistan (campaign promise kept and exceeded, btw)

There are dozens more, but it's late, I've had a long day and I'm too bleary-eyed to keep going. Besides which, I know you're not really interested in an actual list of accomplishments anyway, so I'm not even sure why I bothered in the first place.

I thought we were supposed to list accomplishments?

1) He is photogenic.
2) He travels well.
3) He claims, "he gets it." (I wonder what he's getting?)

I'm sorry, this page will "time out," if I try to come up with two more successes!
