I try to teach my son that one's reputation is the most valuable thing
you
will ever own. You obviously have not learned that.

How stupid. Given the disaster that Prez Barry Hussein has given us, it
shouldn't be necessary to manipulate anything - just showcase
his "achievements" (tripling the deficit, over 10% unemployment,
Socialized
medicine shoved down our throats, bowing down to foreign leaders,
multi-hundred-million dollar junkets to Asia, etc., etc., etc.)

Thanks,
Rich


Yes , such blatant lying is stupid. Yet many of the "facts" you cite are
still the distortions put out by the propaganda machine.
The increase in the deficit you refer to is the 2009 budget versus the 2008
budget, yet the propaganda does not mention that the 2009 budget was created
by the Bush administration
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Un...ederal_budget). The
Heritage Foundation's own info-graphic shows the Obama budgets actually
decrease the deficit from that point until 2013
(http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/...-in-pictures/).
The projected increase after that is due mainly to the continuation of the
Bush tax cuts if they remain in place.

The supposed multi-hundred million junket has absolutely no basis in fact:

The phrase "socialized medicine shoved down our throats" seems vaugely
familiar. How many thousands of times has that been repeated by right wing
pundits of the propaganda machine? Can you even explain why it is any more
"socialized" than the unworkable system we have now where anyone can get
treatment in an emergency room and stick the hospital with the bill?
