Fact Checking

The Associated Press has a nice article that appears on Yahoo News, the thrust of which is to quote various things President Obama said last night about our military activities in Libya. They then contrast those presidential statements with what the AP knows to be true, based on their reportage. Here's the money quote:
There may be less than meets the eye to President Barack Obama's statements Monday night.
This is called "fact checking" and it is nice when the AP does it. BHO's speechwriters should have checked the content themselves before they let the boss deliver the speech. Perhaps the WH should hire people with experience?
