Obama’s Caterpillar-Sized Whopper
Why do politicians think they can say anything, even when the facts are easily refuted?
President Obama today repeated the claim we asked about yesterday at the press briefing that Jim Owens, the CEO of Caterpillar, Inc., “said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off.” Caterpillar announced 22,000 layoffs last month.

Sit back and enjoy.
Unbelievable. Almost Hillary Clintonesque…
