Introducing the Truth-O-Meter


Did Barack Obama extend health care for wounded troops?

Did John McCain oppose legislation to pay for flood control programs?

Let's check the Truth-O-Meter.

The Truth-O-Meter is a new feature on Dome that we hope you will find useful as the presidential campaigns heat up. It's a service offered by CQ Politics and the St. Petersburg Times to fact check statements by and about the presidential candidates.

We've embedded it in the left-hand column, along with a link to our own Claims Department fact checks of North Carolina candidates. (We're working on making that a bit more user-friendly. Stay tuned.)

Re: Introducing the Truth-O-Meter

This is a great tool and so far, since i have been trying to follow this truth meter has shown me that Obama has only told one full truth and a bunch of half truths/outright lies...

Thanks as if I needed anymore more reason not to support him.
