White House Press Secretary Jay Carney was confronted by FOX News’ Ed Henry about Obama’s claim that Republican attempt to attach non-budget items to an increase in the nation’s debt limit has “never seen in the history of the United States.” The Washington Post fact-checker awarded the president four Pinocchios for this false claim, citing 1973 when Senate Democrats lead by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) tried to attach a campaign finance reform bill to the debt ceiling.
