What if…

Over at Sublime Bloviations, they've taken Politifact to the woodshed once again over a “Half-True” claim by President Obama that “Romney outsourced call center jobs to India.” I’ll summarize the situation for you.

I received an email Tuesday afternoon from Politifact reporter Molly Moorhead. I’m not going to share it with you. What I am going to do is write some things that aforementioned letter inspired.
