President Obama really gets around. After all, those funds aren’t gonna raise themselves! In a short span of time this week, the president has spent time in Denver, Dallas, and Austin, where he’s shot pool and raised money for the DSCC, DCCC, and DNC.
But if you ask Reuters, he’s been busy at “the border”:
That photo was taken in Denver. As in, Colorado. As in, not even a border state.

Scroll through Reuters’ slideshow posted at Yahoo! News, and you’ll see pictures Obama in several places — none of which could remotely be considered “the border”:
The liars at Reuters covering for their man http://t.co/wzw2tWhrHO Hint: Obama went to Austin, not anywhere near border #tcot #reuterslie

Lapdogs gonna lapdog!
Editor’s note: The original lead tweet has been replaced for clarity.

Update:
Yahoo! News has quietly changed the headline:
Unfortunately, the new headline still accompanies photos from Denver and Dallas. So … still wrong, Yahoo! News.
Oh, and the URL still says “border”:
Whoops.

Update:
Evidently Yahoo! News decided it would just be easier to do away with the slideshow altogether. Clicking on the original link will now take you to other Obama slideshows, like these:
