Claim: And now, the rest of the story on that misleading "Obama's Promise" ad from Crossroads GPS. Besides the almost totally false claim that we covered earlier, the ad also: Claims the president broke a promise to help homeowners facing foreclosure, when in fact 5.9 million have received assistance. Gives a somewhat darker picture of the mortgage foreclosure situation than the facts warrant. Exaggerates the number of persons likely to lose employer-sponsored health coverage under the new health care law.
