Factcheck.Org Obama S Mailings

We find that a mailer criticizing her position on trade is indeed misleading. One that attacks her health care plan we have previously described as straining the facts, though not exactly “false.” * Trade: A mailer showing a locked plant gate quotes Clinton as saying she believed NAFTA was "a boon" to the economy. Those are not her words and Obama was wrong to put quote marks around them. In fact, she's been described by a biographer as privately opposing NAFTA in the White House....

Eagles Beware Carson Wentz S Fast Track To Week 1 Return Is Risky

Ambitious goals like that from the franchise quarterback are great. Except when they’re not. Navigating Wentz’s return was always going to be a minefield for the QB and the Eagles. Of course, that goes for every return from serious injury, every return from an ACL, and every return from an ACL by the biggest piece of the team’s foundation. No one really wants to temper Wentz’s enthusiasm, but no one wants to risk sending him back out there when he isn’t ready, no matter how convincing he is or how much he has poured into getting back....
