FACT CHECK: Obama disowns deficit he helped shape
By CALVIN WOODWARD
WASHINGTON (AP) - "That wasn't me," President Barack Obama said on his 100th day in office, disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on Day One.
It actually was him - and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years - who shaped a budget so out of balance.
And as a presidential candidate and president-elect, he backed the twilight Bush-era stimulus plan that made the deficit deeper, all before he took over and promoted spending plans that have made it much deeper still.

Check your receipt after you have checked out
It is a good practice to check the price of the items
on a receipt after you have checked out. A lot of times,
the price scanned on the register does not match what
is advertised or posted in the store. You could save a
lot if you can catch all these errors.

PUBLIC POST *
By CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer Calvin Woodward, Associated Press Writer – Wed Mar 25, 3:07 am ET
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's plea Tuesday for patience in the economic turmoil fits with the view of most economists that a turnaround will take some time. It doesn't fit quite so neatly with his bullish budget.
The president's spending plans and deficit projections rest on the assumption that the economy will post solid growth next year after a mild, further decline this year.

Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic
dancer.
I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week
before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we
had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people
were fighting over who would get it.

FACT CHECK: Obama's words on home aid ring hollow
Feb 25, 3:15 AM (ET)
By CALVIN WOODWARD and JIM KUHNHENN
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama knows Americans are unhappy that the government could rescue people who bought mansions beyond their means.
But his assurance Tuesday night that only the deserving will get help rang hollow.
Even officials in his administration, many supporters of the plan in Congress and the Federal Reserve chairman expect some of that money will go to people who used lousy judgment.
