Turns Out That Obviously Phony Story...Was Phony

This Caterpillar story - where CAT CEO Jim Owens told Obama that he'd rehire laid-off workers if the stimulus bill passed - was so phony and dishonest, I'm glad it only got a day's worth of traction before it was debunked. (As Churchill said, a lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get out of bed and put it's pants on.)

If anything, Owens probably told Obama, "Hey, if you want help me out, how about signing those free trade agreements with Colombia and South Korea."
