- Lou Dobbs: On legalizing illegal immigrants.
  The Truth-o-Meter says: Half Flip | Did Lou Dobbs oppose amnesty? He doesn't oppose it now. Before resigning as a CNN anchor Nov. 11, Lou Dobbs made a name for himself opposing illegal immigration. So we were surprised to see him a few weeks later on the Spanish-language network Telemundo declaring himself a friend to Latinos. "Whatever you have th […]
- Paul Krugman: "If you want to talk firsts for Bush, this was the first time in American history that a president took us into a war and cut taxes."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: Mostly True | Krugman says Bush was first president to lead country into war and cut taxes With President Barack Obama scheduled to make a speech on Dec. 1 on how the United States will proceed with the war in Afghanistan, war spending was the topic du jour on the Sunday political talk shows. Some Democratic officials have even talked […]
- Chain e-mail: "The Congressional Budget Office -- supposedly non-partisan -- estimates that in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: False | $6,800 for cap and trade not a CBO estimate Critics of the Democratic cap-and-trade proposal have many complaints about the plan, but their biggest is cost. They say it will cost so much that it will be a significant burden on a typical American family. The latest variation of this comes in a chain e-mail that contends the cap […]
- Ed Schultz: "Ninety-eight percent of the American people will not see their taxes go up" due to the House health care bill.
  The Truth-o-Meter says: Barely True | Schultz says health care bill will only tax top 2 percent Republicans have frequently criticized the Democrats' health care bills by saying that they will make Americans pay more. On Nov. 20, 2009, MSNBC host Ed Schultz fired back, arguing that "98 percent of the American people will not see their taxes go up b […]
- Marco Rubio: "I have never voted for a tax increase."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Marco Rubio says he never voted to increase taxes Marco Rubio is all of the sudden a darling of the American conservative movement in his U.S. Senate primary run against Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Consider his bona fides: Rubio opposes publicly run health care and is against abortion. He has been highly critical of the presid […]
- Chain e-mail: A data-storing microchip "would be implanted in the majority of people who opt to become covered by the public health care option."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: Pants on Fire! | Chain e-mail says those on public option will have to get microchip implant It's a recipe for a great conspiracy theory: a big health care bill, an effort to centralize medical records and a new microchip that can be implanted under your skin.Just add outrage and stir!A chain e-mail warns darkly that an "imp […]
- Jeff Miller: "Although Democrats represent only 10 of Florida's 25 districts, their districts received 60 percent of the stimulus funds."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: Barely True | Recovery.gov assigns statewide education jobs to one congressional district The Obama administration has promoted its Web site Recovery.gov as a bold new step in government transparency and a convenient way for voters to see that the economic stimulus program is working. Some Republicans say the site is a bunch of unreli […]
- Jeff Miller: Recovery.gov listed congressional districts that "do not exist."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: Mostly True | Nonexistent congressional districts were on Recovery.gov. They're gone now. The Obama administration has promoted its Web site Recovery.gov as a bold new step in government transparency and a convenient way for voters to see that the economic stimulus program is working. Some Republicans say the site is filled with […]
- Chain e-mail: Under the cap-and-trade bill, homes would have to be retrofitted to meet energy and water efficiency standards before they could be sold.
- John Boehner: Senate health care legislation will "levy a new 'abortion premium' fee on Americans in the government-run plan."
  The Truth-o-Meter says: False | Boehner claims that the Senate health care bill includes an abortion fee Republicans have found another flaw in the health care bill: They say Democrats are trying to impose a monthly abortion fee on anyone enrolled in the public health care option."Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) massive, 2,074-page bill […]

- Lou Dobbs on the Flip-O-Meter
  Before resigning as a CNN anchor Nov. 11, Lou Dobbs made a name for himself opposing illegal immigration. So we were surprised to see him a few weeks later on the Spanish-language network Telemundo discussing his views on immigration. "We need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants on certain conditions," Dobb said.That last point surprised us, […]
- Mailbag: 'Your Truth-O-Meter needs repair'
  Our inbox was so full we're running two installments of mailbag this week! This is the second; read the first batch from Thanksgiving Day. How many years of natural gas?We looked at a statement from America's Natural Gas Alliance; they said that the United States has a supply of "more than 100 years of natural gas." We rated that Half Tru […]
- Obama's Top 25 Promises: A Progress Report
  When we launched the Obameter -- an online database of Obama's 515 campaign promises -- we designated 25 promises as the most significant. As President Barack Obama closes in on his first full year in office, we found that he's made at least some progress on most of them.Here is the current tally of Obama's top promises:In the Works: 18Promise […]

It's been awhile since our last mailbag, so look for a second installment on Sunday.The House of Representatives' health care bill and abortionWe received a few letters from readers who said we missed the boat with our coverage of health reform legislation in the U.S. House of R […]
- Tracking stimulus dollars gets tricky
  The Obama administration has promoted its Web site Recovery.gov as a bold new step in government transparency and a convenient way for voters to see that the economic stimulus program is working. Some Republicans say the site is a bunch of unreliable propaganda.Florida Republican Rep. Jeff Miller ridiculed the site in a newsletter Nov. 19, writing about how […]
- Another chain e-mail, another Pants on Fire
- Health care bill or 'War & Peace' -- which is longer?
  They are both epic works of literature. One begins like this:"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist—I really believe he is Antichrist—I will have nothing […]
- A chain e-mail full of praise
  We got a chain e-mail recently that purports to list 90 accomplishments from President Barack Obama's first six months in office. Honestly, most of the chain e-mails we get are of the anti-Obama variety. This one is decidedly positive. It also breaks with the tradition of all-capital letters, liberal use of exclamation points and, in a serious breach of […]
- Abortion and the Stupak amendment, cont'd.
  An amendment to the House health care bill continues to inspire political passions, driving a wedge between abortion-rights supporters who are outraged at what they consider a major loss for women's rights, and Democratic lawmakers who fear seeing their long-awaited health care reform effort stalled due to the debate.The amendment -- a last-minute addit […]
- Fact-checking new claims in the Sarah Palin book
  When Sarah Palin resigned as governor of Alaska before her first term was over, her father said she wasn’t quitting the public stage. “Sarah’s not retreating,” he said. “She’s reloading!” Her new book Going Rogue: An American Life shows she has plenty of ammunition. Palin settles scores with the media and Republican […]
