One more lie. The computer was NOT invented by a group of government scientists. It was invented in the basement of the physics building at Iowa State College (at the time) in 1939 by Atanasoff and Berry.

Is there a truth squad following Obama?

Go back a little bit and check out what Charles Babbage did with the analytical engine....while it was too complex to realize, it was made later and proven to work. It was a programmable machine capable of solving complex mathematical problems.

But to say what Barry said is annoying. Was he referring to the Internets....yeah, that was mostly a DARPA project....projects that would be cut under a Barry administration...and it was made for communications to survive a nuke war.

Actually it is good that Brokaw is letting Obama ramble on over the time limits....the more lies that go ‘on the record’ the more people will see thru his ‘shine’!
