Obama cites bogus gun figure

President Obama is using the bogus 90% figure now:

“We have a responsibility to act, too. Some 90 per cent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States,” he said in Mexico on Thursday, acknowledging a figure used by Mr Calderon.

The actual figure is 36% or less.

UPDATE: The LA Times is reporting the story.  Amazingly, they highlight the fact that he’s wrong.  (Via Instapundit.)

UPDATE: I revised the number to reflect the Annenberg calculation, rather than Fox News’s lower calculation.
