“Finally something in the news I can completely agree with.”
I sure hope not. I can’t fact-check an entire article, but here’s one example of a flat-out lie:
“There is still, after six weeks, not one shred of proof that his grandmother died the day before the election or two days before the election, whichever date given by Obama that you choose to believe. No death certificate has been produced. No authority has confirmed the date of death.”
Perhaps the author doesn’t consider the Social Security Administration an “authority” but the SS Death Index clearly shows that a Madelyn Dunham died in Honolulu on November 2, 2008.

Yes, it’s certainly POSSIBLE there’s 2 Madelyn Dunhams living in Honolulu, both born on October 26, 1922 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madelyn_and_Stanley_Dunham), and that the one who died was NOT BHO’s grandmother, but the principle of Occam’s Razor suggests this isn’t likely.
The Pravda author earlier claims: “I try to limit what I write to things that can be verified fairly easily.” Apparently the author didn’t stretch very hard in trying to confirm the accuracy of the “grandma isn’t really dead” canard.
Every time Obama critics are caught in simple fabrications like this, it unfortunately has the effect of casting a question about whether other very legitimate claims about Obama can be believed. As HRC illustrates, it’s way easier cognitively to write everything off as a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy than to believe that some of the stories about WJC’s philandering, corruption and unfitness for office actually were true. We should bend over backward to avoid encouraging that kind of over-simplified response to legitimate concerns about BHO.
