Romney lied about the number of ships in 1917

[UCmeNdc]

America has more ships now than in 1917. From Politifact (Politifact notes that Romney also got his year wrong – the lie, traditionally told by Republicans on this point, claims 1916 as the year, not 1917):

When will the media start asking Mitt Romney whether he’s incredibly sloppy or an incredible liar? Either way, it hardly passes the commander-in-chief test.

1. Thanks, I've been meaning to check that.

I knew if Romney said it, he was lying.

2. You know. It's a major effort for rMoney to pull his head out of his ass to retrieve "facts".

At least give him credit for making the effort.
