The team at FactCheck.org is not happy with the six-page complaint the Obama campaign sent the organization recently. The campaign complained about a recent FactCheck item calling Team Obama’s attack ads hitting Mitt Romney for outsourcing “untrue” and “thinnly-supported.” FactCheck said it reviewed the Obama documents and found them lacking:

The Obama campaign’s objections are contained in a six-page letter sent to us (and  — without notice to us — to other news organizations as well). It cobbles together selective news snippets and irrelevant securities documents in an attempt to show that Romney was still running Bain Capital on a part-time basis while he was also running the Olympics committee.

In a nutshell, the Obama campaign is all wet on this point.
