officials have been busy compiling lists of what they say are a stunning number of basic factual errors.
An administration official sent along a partial list under the headline "The Suskind Book Game: 'Too Big to Fact Check?'" From the list of alleged errors: "1.) Suskind wrote that Larry Summers needed Senate confirmation to lead the National Economic Council. 2.) Suskind wrote that Secretary Geithner served as 'Chairman' of the New York Fed. 3.) Suskind wrote that Gene Sperling served as 'an assistant Treasury Secretary.' 4.) Suskind wrote that Geithner had 'never been an undersecretary' at Treasury. 5.)

Also, notice how the Liberal media has seized upon the workplace atmosphere as being hostile to womyn. Oh, the absolute horror!, yet they completely overlook the primary accusation that Obama, the community organizer, has no idea what he's doing. The economic crash is proof of Obama’s incompetence.

The WH is furiously waving its hands, hoping people will pay attention to these trivial factual errors and forget about the bombshells revealed in the book. It’s a bit like pointing out a minuscule flaw in the Mona Lisa and implying that for that reason, the entire painting is lacking in beauty or artistic skill.
