FactCheck: The fuller story in Denver By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer
Thu Aug 28, 12:10 AM ET
DENVER - Sen. Barack Obama's formal nomination Wednesday as the Democratic candidate for president brought with it praise for Obama and a barrage of renewed attacks on his Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain. Some were on point, others missed the mark.
ADVERTISEMENT
Some examples:
VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE SEN. JOE BIDEN of DELAWARE: "Barack Obama will bring down health care costs by $2,500 for the typical family, and, at long last, deliver affordable, accessible health care for all Americans."
THE FACTS: Obama's health care plan does not provide for universal health care coverage. He promises to make it affordable and would require children to be covered, but not adults. Estimates of how many would remain without insurance vary. Hillary Rodham Clinton said during the primaries that Obama's plan would leave 15 million people uninsured.
FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON: The Bush administration "took us from record surpluses to an exploding national debt; from over 22 million new jobs an increase in working family incomes of $7,500 to a decline of more than $2,000; from almost 8 million Americans moving out of poverty to more than 5 and half million falling into poverty ? and million more losing their health insurance."
THE FACTS: Clinton, helped by a decade-long economic expansion, recorded four straight years of budget surpluses. They ended in 2001, whittled away by a recession that started that year, and the cost of fighting terrorism after 9/11 and President Bush's tax cuts. Bush has recorded some of the highest deficits in history in dollar terms including a record $413 billion imbalance in 2004.
The Census Bureau reported this week that median household income grew by 1.3 percent last year to $50,233, the third straight annual increase. It still fell short of the previous peak, reached in 2000, when inflation is included. The bureau said the number of families living below the official poverty threshold last year was 12.5 percent, not statistically different from 2006. But the latest report covered 2007 before the current economic slowdown had begun to take its toll.
BIDEN: "Because Barack made that choice, 150,000 more children and parents have health care in Illinois. He fought to make that happen.
THE FACTS: Obama did none of this single-handedly, but as a member of the Illinois Senate. He helped expand an existing children's health insurance program. He also helped pass legislation to raise the income threshold for eligibility and make the temporary program permanent.
_SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER of WEST VIRGINIA: "John McCain has served his country with honor. But his refusal to change course even in the face of the failed policies of Bush-Cheney is reckless and will not keep us safe."
THE FACTS: After the U.S. led the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, McCain initially said he had no doubt U.S. forces would be "welcomed as liberators" in Baghdad. But McCain changed his mind after visiting the Iraqi capital later that year. Back in Washington, he began calling on the Bush administration to send more troops to beat back an insurgency that was responsible for spiraling violence. That put him at odds with the White House, most Republicans and military leaders. McCain's position jeopardized his presidential campaign, but he put on a brave face, telling audiences he'd "rather lose an election than lose a war."
In January 2007, Bush announced he was sending 20,000 more troops to Iraq. They have been credited with helping improve security in Iraq.
_FORMER SECRETARY of STATE MADELEINE ALBRIGHT: "Sen. McCain says that American troops should remain in Iraq perhaps as long as they have been stationed in Korea and Japan, as if there were no difference in history, religion or culture between our friends in Asia and those in the Middle East."
THE FACTS: Democrats have made much of McCain's "100 years" comment at a town-hall meeting earlier this year in New Hampshire. It was in response to a questioner who had challenged him about President Bush's view that U.S. troops could be in Iraq for 50 years.
"Maybe a hundred," McCain said. "We've been in South Korea. We've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That'd be fine with me as long as Americans, as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. Then it's fine with me. I hope it would be fine with you if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where al-Qaida is training, recruiting and equipping and motivating people every single day."
McCain also has said he envisions victory in Iraq and the return of most U.S. troops by January 2013 ? the end of his first term if elected. He also says withdrawal should be based on security conditions in

Resolved Question: What is the name of this community in Georgia? ?
Around 2005, I read in NewYork Times Magazine this great story of how some people outside of Atlanta were building a town, complete with bakery, homes, stores, etc. There was a fancy website that showed their progress, and it was really cool.
I recall the website had a bee or butterfly on the homepage, and they also were marketing the place as a convention center and place for weddings and keeping horses.
Now that I live on the East Coast, I'd like to check it out again and possible visit.
Anyone know what it might be called?

Resolved Question: Do you think these are harsh consequences?
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article714849.ece
This girl is Aylar Lie. She is a singer and she is also best known for her role in Basshunter's music videos 'Now Your Gone' and 'All I Ever Wanted.' Those are great songs. Check them out if you have time! And accodrding to the article she has starred in porn and because of that she is banned from visiting her home country which is Iran. If she ever visits Iran, she will be killed. Her songs and her website have also been banned in Iran. That is too harsh!
She made some poor decisions and it might be against her religion, but no one should get worked up about this. No one was hurt or anything. If someone was hurt by her past decisions, then I could understand. She became a singer instead of continuing doing porn. It is sad that she can't visit Iran or maybe the entire Middle East because of her mistakes. I mean killing her because of her past is just wrong.

Resolved Question: Is there any Department of Environmental Science/Environmental Engineering in University of Cambridge?
As a Bachelor of Science in Physics, I want to continue my study in Cambridge. I am not an Englishman, though. I come from Indonesia, a third-world country in South East Asia.
I am interested in research area of drinking water quality, air quality, or clean energy. I have first visited Cambrige homepage, but I found little clue about Environmental Science/Environmental Engineering. The closest is in Department of Earth Science. Is this really the right Faculty/Department for my Area of Interest in environment and energy?
Is there anyone from Cambridge could help me here? Yes, I also ask Cambridge Graduate admission already, but I would really appreciate if any student/ staff/ faculty/ professor from University of Cambridge here in Y!Answers could give me some pieces of advice or guidance.

Resolved Question: Maybe someone can help answer this question?
Common believe is that east Asians have the highest IQ (105)
My question is, why isn't all of east Asian tested and the results averaged out, its clear that they are of the same race, hardly anyone can tell the difference between an east Asian and a south east Asian.
Like in Europe they test everyone, and average out the results, they don't exclude any countries. If I were to apply the Bias testing in Europe as they do in east Asia, then Germany and the Netherlands would have the highest IQ (107)
