Fox Nation Misses The Bus

A recent Fox Nation post on President Obama's planned bus tour refudiates itself.

According to Fox Nation, Obama's trip later this month “copies Palin,” because Sarah Palin went on a short bus tour earlier this year. However, the photo included in Fox Nation's post shows Obama stepping off a campaign bus during his 2008 presidential run:

As Media Matters pointed out yesterday, several right-wing blogs seem to be pretending that Sarah Palin invented bus tours of the nation. In fact, Obama is one of numerous sitting presidents and presidential candidates going back to JFK who have launched bus tours.
