[quote=sd_t2][quote=jficquette]There is definitely something to how they think to make them the way they are.

Yes, we could start with the fact that they think at all.

Neglecting Bush’s far more patronizing and offensive backrub of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, let’s focus on one of the few assertions you make that are provable/disprovable — the “doubling” of the national debt under Obama.

This handy tool from the Treasury will help expose your “fuzzy math”:

Putting in Jan 21, 2009 and Nov 12, 2009 as the date range we get:

10.625 trillion and 11.987 trillion, respectively – a 12.8% increase in the national debt.

Putting in the Bush era – Jan 21, 2001 to Jan 20, 2009, however, we get:

5.728 trillion and 10.627 trillion, respectively — an 85.5% increase (that is, a near doubling) of the national debt.

So… whatever political stripe you choose to wear, do your homework and you’ll be more credible.[/quote]
