Will PolitiFact make Obama's enemies list?

Last year, the liberal leaning PolitiFact slammed the Democrats assertion that the Republican's economic bill would "end Medicare as we know it" a statement the President continues to spout on the campaign stump even now. PolitiFact called it the "Lie of the Year."

Within the last day or two, PolitiFact has come out again and rated False the President's (our constitutional scholar President, btw) assertion that the Supreme Court, in deeming ObamaCare as unconstitutional, would be overturning a law passed by wide margins and unprecedented.

For their part, PolitiFact tried to give the President cover by allowing him some nuance in later framing ObamaCare as an economic issue rather than policy issue, but they flat out rated his claim as false and false.

Given the petulant, childish nature of this President and those around him, I wouldn't be surprised to start hearing very vocal complaints about PolitiFact come out of the Oval Office and pretty much everyone else in the water carrying media.
