Already being discussed at this blog posting by Cynthia Ganz. (Although she didn't mention where she got it from.)

There is embellishment and there is lying through the skin of your teeth.

Look, there are two ways to handle a potentially damaging issue.

One is to say that the candidate you support is no worse than the opposing candidate.

The other is how Obama handled the Rev. Wright issue. He took it head on and delivered a compelling and historic speech on race.

That's leadership.

This, to me, is a defining difference between the two candidates.

My opinion, no need to fire back.

Yep, having been an untenured assistant professor, and a tenured associate professor, the first claim is as bogus as the rest. Even when I had my first Lecturer postion, you are called "Professor", because that is what you are doing. "Teacher" is a term that is used in K-12. Maybe Halpern and Penn never got past that point?

Anyway, thanks for posting today's "Laughing Points" from Camp Clinton.

I hadn't figured it out until today, but you're one of those volunteer bloggers the Hillary campaign uses to spread their daily talking points, eh? Or do they pay you for this?

I need to head home from work so I only have time for a couple, but here we go:

"Obama claimed credit for nuclear leak legislation that never passed."

"In 2006, Obama was an original co-sponsor of legislation to expand U.S. cooperation to destroy conventional weapons. It also expands the State Department's ability to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction. The legislation was included in an appropriations bill that was later signed into law by the president."

"Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) and Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced that a provision authored by Obama and Senator Hagel (R-NE) in the Senate and advanced by Schiff in the House requiring a comprehensive nuclear threat reduction plan passed as part of the omnibus appropriations bill."

Congress, S. 2566, which Obama co-sponsored, did not pass, but its provisions were included in H.R. 6060/P.L. 109-706. Ergo...yes, the legislation passed.

Selma: The point about Selma is pure semantic games and spin on the part of the Clinton memo/Phil Singer.

Rezko: The issue is dead, but I guess you gotta keep beating the horse if your own candidate doesn't have enough positives of her own to lead the narrative.

Health Care:
"Sen. Obama said ‘I passed a law that put Illinois on a path to universal coverage,’ but Obama health care legislation merely set up a task force."

"In 2004, Obama sponsored and helped pass legislation that expanded and made permanent Illinois' KidCare program by raising eligibility from 185% to 200% of the federal poverty level. The legislation provided coverage for an additional 20,000 children and 65,000 more Illinois adults in the first year, and by 2007 had expanded health care to 70,000 kids and 84,000 adults." Look it up: 93rd GA, SB 130, 3R P 42-13-2; Signed into law 6/30/03, PA 93-0063.

Ethics reform:
"The final package is the strongest ethics legislation to emerge from Congress yet. ...But Mr. Reid, along with Sens. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.), deserves credit for assembling and passing this package."
-Washington Post

"The Senate gave final approval Thursday to a far-reaching package of new ethics and lobbying rules...After overcoming resistance inside his own party, Mr. Obama pushed for a provision requiring, for the first time, disclosure by lobbyists who bundle political contributions of more than $15,000 in six months."
-Washington Post

Exagerated about tornado death toll:
What? No, seriously. What? He corrected himself later on in his speech. See, this is a good example of a mistatement vs. a lie. Lies are repeated and embelleshed on further, not corrected minutes later by a weary man mid-speech.
