Psst! Senator! No Walls Have Come Down in Belfast!
(By Jim Geraghty/National Review Online) - Obama's speechwriting team needs to hire a fact-checker.
Obama, speaking in Berlin today: "Not only have walls come down in Berlin, but they have come down in Belfast, where Protestant and Catholic found a way to live together."
USA Today, earlier this year:
"Ten years after peace was declared in Northern Ireland, one might have expected that Belfast's barriers would be torn down by now. But reality, as usual, is far messier. Not one has been dismantled. Instead they've grown in both size and number."
