Exactly. I can't believe the delusional chain e-mails that get passed around. There was one during the campaign in 2008 where Obama allegedly said that our National Anthem was too violent and that he'd consider singing it if it was something like "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing".
Think about that. It was being forwarded to thousands. PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVED IT.
I remember going through the e-mail about and providing the full context for all the quotes in Obama's book, and sending it to everyone who was in the forward list, from the people who sent it to me. Such as the line about standing with the Muslims if things were to get ugly. The e-mail isolates that part, but excludes the preceding line, which brings up Muslims possibly getting treated (internment camps) like the Japanese, Italians, and Germans in the 1942. I went though every line, and provided sources. Some couldn't have sources because the lines weren't even in the book at all, so I let them know that. I swear, a few of them came back and said something along the lines of it not debunking the claims, but reinforcing them. Any fact checking is either "TEH LIBEL MEDIA BIAZ!!1!". Anyone who brings up facts, like I did, is just some "dirty liberal socialist communist *other word they don't know the meaning of*".
How can you deal with someone that delusional?
You don't deal with people that delusional. You let them fester in their own ignorance.

I posted the e mail after I read it and found it to be spot on, appearently, you and NY Guy are in a state of denial and think Obama can do no wrong, Gee I wonder why?
And the vast majority of that expansion is in the Pentagon. The one area that Republicans get enough spending in.
Why are you trying to attribute 500K jobs cut at the state and local level to Obama if you knew they were at the state and local level?
