Spotty? That's putting it mildly. It's like asking "Who has more credibility? Bill Clinton or Barack Obama?" Or "Who is more believable? John McCain or Mitt Romney?" The answer in all cases is that one party is no more credible or believable than the other.
The Globe has a monetarily motivated reason to at least try to get a story right from time to time. Obama is a pathological liar. He couldn’t tell the truth if he tried. There is a huge difference between the two.
