Is it fair to claim that Obama apologies for America?
Is it fair to claim that Obama made the recession worse?
Is it fair to claim that Obama followed Romney's advice on the auto bailouts?
Is it fair to claim that Iran will have a nuclear weapon if Obama is reelected?
Is it fair to claim that Obama threw Israel under the bus?
Is it fair to claim that Obama has circumscribed religious freedom?

No. But not only has Romney said these things, they are outright lies.

Romney said he wouldn't go into Pakistan for OBL and that he wouldn't "move heaven and earth" to get him. It's not only fair to bring that up, it's accurate.
