&quot;It’s a shame the President doesn’t really know what he’s talking about…&quot;

The above statement is a reflection of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_fact_check&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; you provided. The statement and the link are exercises in nuance rather than demonstrations of major discrepancies in what Obama said.

Your statement is hyperbolic and the referenced link provides manufactured differences between what Obama and others said or what allegedly happened.

For example, the Obama says, &quot;It will keep government out of health care decisions, giving you the option to keep your insurance if you&#039;re happy with it.&quot;

The link goes on to say, &quot;In House legislation, a commission appointed by the government would determine what is and isn&#039;t covered by insurance plans…&quot; 

The implication is that the government &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; get involved in health care decisions. However, it actually says a commission would determine insurance &lt;em&gt;coverage&lt;/em&gt;. It says nothing about the government dictating health care decisions. All insurance plans must decide what is and is not covered when they are written. That does not mean the insurance coverage tells the medical professionals how to care for patients. In short, the Web site is misleading readers by twisting reality to prove a point of view.

The shame is that you, Jim, don&#039;t really know what he is talking about…</description>
