Maybe you need to read it really slow, and take in each word.
Obama said: “I believe that if our government is there to support you, this plant will be here for another hundred years.”

And, many months before Obama was inaugurated, the plant was closed because the Bush Admin wasn't there to support them.

None of this is rocket science, and I doubt that even brain surgery would allow you to accept the facts of the matter.

Wow funny how your site interprets someone's words to mean more than what they have actually said like so
into this
If it was a promise... then he would have said something likeAnd you call politifact.com a hack site.
what utter bullshit.
It's like me taking your above post and using selective editing
Any time you criticize a website it must be doing at least some things right.

Do things right? You break forum rules and change my quote and then accuse me of being selective?

I was asked to show where Obama said he will keep the plant open. I did that. What are you not understanding?

Well, I think Matt1970 and monovillage have showed us the answer to this article:

Obviously, in their fantasy world, they have their "beliefs", and no amount of real facts will change these "beliefs". Sad that probably 40% of the country doesn't care about facts and the truth.

Maybe one day y'all will learn this concept of "facts" and learn to believe them. Or not.

Keep your eye on the swinging watch.......

Obama never said this plant will be here for another hundred years.
It's the fault of the Republicans that our credit rating got downgraded.

The starting quote was in error it wasn't intended to be changed.

It should have been top quote unchanged then the bottom quote changed.

Mea maxima culpa

As far as what the site said...

I stand firm on this.

=======================================================================================

it's funny how the site you're referencing

“I believe that if our government is there to support you … this plant will be here for another hundred years.” That’s what he said in 2008.

interpreted the above quote as meaning this.

In fact, that had been known since at least February 2008, when Obama came to Janesville to speak, and specifically addressed the plant closure in his remarks, delivered at the plant itself — and promised to keep it and other plants like it open “for the next hundred years”

If it was a promise... then he would have said something like

I promise that if our government is here to support you... we this plant will stay open for the next hundred years. That's a promise

It's difficult to believe you're actually that dense. More likely that you've been taking trolling lessons from a couple of our resident experts in that field.

Repubs' problem is that, fact-wise, they've got nothing but failure of policy & ideology as achievement, so they necessarily just make shit up to keep talking.
