WaPo issues 4 Pinocchios to the President…

Four Pinocchios for Obama’s claim that Republicans have ‘filibustered about 500 pieces of legislation’

…On just about every level, this claim is ridiculous.

We realize that Senate rules are complex and difficult to understand, but the president did serve in the Senate and should be familiar with its terms and procedures. Looking at the numbers, he might have been able to make a case that Republicans have blocked about 50 bills that he had wanted passed, such as an increase in the minimum wage. But instead he inflated the numbers to such an extent that he even included votes in which he, as senator, supported a filibuster.

It was just a decimal point error. Coulda happened to anyone.
