Your fact check never happened when the messiah was in the Oval Office, but if it had, it would have read almost exactly the same.  "True, but..."

Every politician should be fact checked as much as possible, and we ought to be able to admit it when they are intentionally misleading people.  We should not let our partisanship get in the way of the truth.

Were you saying this for the previous 8 years when the media gave that guy a pass on just about everything that crossed his lips?

I don't disagree with you, but I find it interesting that fact checking really seems to be slanted in one direction.  Even the link you provided had to take the opportunity to basically defend Obama in every "True, but..." they posted.  You never saw anything of the sort during Obama's tenure.  The media just let it go.  What's worse is that many of the fact checking services are nothing more than shills for one political viewpoint, which this MSN article actually supports.  Snopes, Factcheck.org, and the other large operations that do this kind of work all let their bias determine the narrative, and in every instance, they're admitted leftists.  If you're fine with that, okay.  I tend to dismiss most "fact check" sites.  There are a couple that do a decent job of keeping bias out of the discussion, but they tend to be few and far between.
