    FactCheck.Org is owned by the Annenberg group of Chicago! Talk about a conflict of interest! And Obama has been telling people on the trail to check out the site to verify his opponents claims. Funny, every time that he endorsed something, it turns out to be a part of his spin machine! Like he raised objections in the primaries when Indiana required photo I.D. to vote. He Protested that It took away people's right to vote! I
    knew then and there that he was up to no good! America, wake up from the MASS HYPNOSIS!

    This is so true about how the election is already bought and paid for:

    THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CANDIDATE!

    NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY HAS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BEEN GIVEN SUCH A FREE PASS BY THE PRESS AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE!

    I AM WAITING FOR A BLACK PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO MAKE IT ON HIS OWN MERIT.

    COLIN POWELL COMES TO MIND!

    Actually Washington was born at his family's Pope Creek farm some 20 miles or so east of Ferry Farm. His father's business absorbed so much of his time that he moved the family to Ferry Farm some years after Washington was born. Washington's first home lies off Pope Creek not far from the Potomac and the foundation of that house was also excavated and is visible. The National Park Service recognizes the Pope Creek Farm as Washington's birthplace and first home.

    The photo of the footprint of Washington's boyhood home lacks a necessary archeological element - something noting scale. Where's the meter stick or the field archeologist or the landrover or something to help us know just how relatively big this site is?

    Happy 232nd birthday, America!

    Lets hope the next 23 decades will be even better than the first 23!

    I find this kind of thing fascinating, but was surprised that this is a new discovery. I assumed we knew where Ferry Farm was all along! ... I will definitely look into vistiting once completed.
