That's about the most selective telling of the "facts" as I've seen in a long time. Maybe if you could have replaced the "claims" with in-context quotes from Obama, and a fair presentation of why he might have made such a "claim," even if you think he's wrong, I might be tempted to think you were trying to enlighten us.
Instead your rant reads just like more partisan sleight of hand for your candidate of choice. Bill and Hillary may not have used the words to say he didn't oppose the war from the start--but they did refer to his war record and its coverage as a "fairy tale." "Them's fightin' words," as they say. Politics ain't beanbag, but at least Obama's "claims" have some legitimacy, even in your own telling of them, unlike the email sent out by Clinton's staff in Iowa claiming that Obama is "a muslim who will destroy the nation." There's a zero percent true claim. Do you see the difference?
