Washington Post gives Obama ‘Four Pinocchios’ for climate claim: ‘Obama group misleadingly cites a vote on a climate change bill’ — ‘The Obama group has twisted the meaning of a relatively minor amendment’
'Obama’s new political group, Organizing for Action, last week released a new video that mocks Republican lawmakers for appearing to play down or dismiss concerns about climate change...we were intrigued by the video’s claim that 240 House lawmakers had called climate change to be a 'hoax.' Officials at OFA did not respond to repeated queries about the video but our colleagues at FactCheck.Org report that the “240” number refers to a vote on an amendment offered by House Democrats, which failed 184 to 240' - 'Nowhere in the amendment does the word 'hoax' appear.' -- 'There’s little evidence that a vote against this amendment meant that a lawmaker was affirming that climate change was a “hoax'...the video seriously undercuts its credibility with the phony accounting on the amendment — and this sort of gamesmanship with congressional votes is simply not acceptable. Four Pinocchios'
