My metaphor:
Obama: I will have Federal troops scour the nation and poison pet dogs.
AKC: Obama promised to poison the pets of law-abiding Americans.
Obama spokesperson: He never said he'd poison all pets.
FactCheck: The AKC is lying! He did not say he's poison all of Americans' pets.
Glazed-eyed Obamaniac, calling radio talk show: He NEVER said he'd poison cats!
Talk-show host: Uh, he said he'd poison all the dogs.
Obamaniac: You're a LIAR! He never said anything about poisoning ALL the dogs, or the cats.
