Your link has the words "Wall Street Journal" and "Opinion".

We all know, of course, that it is literally impossible for something labeled "Wall Street Journal" and "Opinion" to be a must read, any more than a commercial for dish washing detergent could be a must watch. The WSJ Opinion page is a giant advertisement for the interests of a very, very small set of people in our country. Their relationship to truth is indifferent at best.

Not sure who Barry is but just in case your talking about President Obama.


THE article you linked is just another editorial by some Foxnews publication . . .and not tethered in reality. For reality, why not read:

Liberal logic 101: When you can't dispute the facts shoot the messenger. Please feel free to debunk or debate any of the points in that article. Can you do that? That's rhetorical BTW.....

My opinion is that 1 + 1 = 2. Just because I'm conservative doesn't make it any less a fact.

Read the footnotes. Math is a terrible thing to not understand.

I agree with Rick, let's see some evidence to dispute these numbers liberals!!

But of course you have fallen for the spin, will probably quote the ridiculous Nutting article which has been debunked time and time again and then resort to calling names and shooting the messenger again. Of course, throw in a healthy dose of Bush bashing and you will probably feel good about folling yourself with the lies.

But again, let's see some numbers that prove us wrong.

Edward Klein's new book on Barack Obama, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, is a withering portrayal of a radical adrift, in over his head, drowning in his own incompetency -- while being weighed down by a small circle of "advisers" who are compounding the problem of the Amateur in the White House.

well, msnbc holds the values of a very small set of people too. their relationship to the truth is nonexistant at all. they would know what the truth is or was if it slapped them across the face.

I love how the right trots out percentages instead of real dollars when they want to talk about spending and deficits: "Oh, yeah? Well...the deficit Obama inherited was only such and such as a percentage of GDP and tax revenues were only such and such of GDP."

OK, let's play percentages, shall we?
