Comments re "the country that invented the automobile"

I rolled back this change as it was not accurate. America did not invent the car, although Henry Ford revolutionized vehicle manufacturing with his assembly line.

Also, the prior edit deleted a valid inter-wiki link. Lisa


Comments re Barack Obama: U.S. presidential election, 2008

I'd be disappointed if Obama entered the contest for president in 2007/8. He seems like a fine candidate in all respects other than just not having been in Washington long enough to develop the thick skin required for campaigning against the perverse slander and vitriolic fabrications of the GOP.

Hello

I am looking to contribute to this article with some rarely covered material, but which has very good sourcing. Am trying to stay neutral in tone and provide only extremely good sources at all times. Very willing to provide sources and discuss adapting of the edits. I notice the page is a bit inactive so I make the edits boldly. Just wanted to notify nonetheless. Feel free to critique changes and sources provided. Also, I will try to avoid adding undue weight to article, and provide further detail on individual pages, creating new pages for detail. --Jzyehoshua 22:43, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Obama and academic credentials

Recently a birther editor, Josie, complained that references to Barack Obama's education were falsified. SourceWatch is not a proper venue for such baseless nonsense. His academic credentials are not false or missing, and it is absurd to suggest that they are. Even a cursory search for contemporaneous documentation disproves such assertions. For example, Josie disputed that Obama attended Harvard Law School and served as the President of the Harvard Law Review. This fact is documented in multiple locations, including this contemporaneous news report: http://www.nytimes.com/1990/02/06/us/first-black-elected-to-head-harvard-s-law-review.html. Rather than consume editing time with endless efforts to persuade irrational birthers who find ways to ignore facts and dispute valid documentation, such groundless edits will be removed and repeat offenders trying to push thier propaganda onto this site will be removed.
