Washington Post catches Obama stretching the truth

Fact checkers at the Washington Post say Obama has been "overstating" the role John Kennedy played in bringing Obama's father from Kenya to the US. I guess that depends on the definition of "overstating" because the evidence in the article shows Obama's father was airlifted to Hawaii in 1959 but JFK didn't become president until 1961. And a check of the funding records shows the Kennedy family did not financially contribute to the airlift.
