US President Barack Obama Criticizes Facebook of Spreading Fake Stories (www.bgr.in)
An anonymous reader writes:Concerned over the spread of fake news on the social networking giant, US President Barack Obama has criticized Facebook, saying fake stories on social networks are spreading lies this election. Speaking at a rally for Hillary Clinton at University of Michigan, Obama said: "The way campaigns have unfolded, we just start accepting crazy stuff as normal and people if they just repeat attacks enough and outright lies over and over again. As long as it's on Facebook, and people can see it, as long as it's on social media, people start believing it, and it creates this dust cloud of nonsense," he told the gathering. A recent BuzzFeed investigation found that 38 percent of posts shared from three large right-wing politics pages on Facebook included "false or misleading information."

Perhaps you mean criticizes FB for spreading fake stories
Isn't it great that sheep have such short memories. That is a little different than saying that she would say anything to be President and that she was completely unqualified. Of course, that unqualified claim was 8 years ago, look how much she accomplished in those eight years. Arming ISIS, Benghazii, the deal with the Russians that gives them Uranium, all of our other great success in the middle east, not to mention the Clinton Foundation that has raised hundreds of millions for Hatti and managed to funnel a few million to Hatti through well connected "Friends of Bill".
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.

"Many of the millennials, dreamers, undocumented -- undocumented citizens, I call them citizens because they contribute to this country. Are fearful of voting, so if I vote will immigration know where I live, will they come for my family and deport us?"
Obama:
Not true. And the reason is, first of all ... when you vote, you are a citizen yourself and there is not a situation where the voting rules are somehow transferred over and people start investigating, and etc. The sanctity of the vote, is strictly confidential in terms of who you voted for. If you have a family member who is undocumented, you have an even greater reason to vote."
Seriously, fuck you. You can try and cut that anyway you want, but it doesn't get much clearer than that.
Om, nomnomnom...
If you are undocumented, you cannot legally register to vote or vote. (FTFY) But go ahead. He says no one is checking or investigating. And he's got your back if anyone finds out.
he specifically said "If you are a Latino Citizen with undocumented family members... you have more reason to vote" He never encouraged illegals to vote.
And that's just the blatant stuff and excludes Breitbart.
