Checkin' Out The Big Dog

Bill Clinton's speech nominating Obama was reportedly "a fact checker's nightmare", but it turns out The Big Dog managed to stay on the porch - mostly.

FactCheck.org:
The worst we could fault him for was a suggestion that President Obama’s Affordable Care Act was responsible for bringing down the rate of increase in health care spending, when the fact is that the law’s main provisions have yet to take effect.
--and--
And plenty of other Clinton statistics checked out as accurate. For example, he said that since 1961, when John F. Kennedy took office, 42 million private-sector jobs had been added while Democrats held the White House, compared with 24 million while Republicans were in office. And that’s exactly what Bloomberg News reported in a May 8 story.
Compare that with this: E'ville Times - GOP Convention Scorecard
