In response to Kilo:
the comments below the video window contain some factoids disputing what Bush was claiming to be true
did you miss this?

Absolutely. Here’s a timeline of me missing everything else ThinkProgress wrote:
i. Hear about skyrocketing US debt for best part of a decade
ii. Read the President stating he not only sought to cut it in half but did.
iii. Believe that statement to be extremely suspect
iv. Spot ThinkProgress claiming to have fact-checked the SOTU speech in which that claim was made
v. Read supposed fact-checking which not only failed to render a verdict on whether that statement was true, but failed to do that for any of the simple, sequential, unambiguous statements the President made about the economy.
vi. Decided this “fact-checking” effort by ThinkProgress was amatuerish, worthless and laughable and hence stopped wasting my time reading it.

Apparently “vii” is “be the only person disappointed that said fact-checking didn’t check any facts”.
Easily impressed bunch you lot.

So Kilo, how do you respond to the presidents statements about how the deficit will be cut in half by what was it 2010, as long as you don’t count the billions routed to keeping Iraq going?

If I had stated I was fact-checking such statements I would check that fact and report that if it was false if it was.
Was that point not clear enough already ?

You and many like you spew numbers, and point to low unemployment etc, but the US economy while not as bad as some naysayers, isn’t as great as you would claim.

What are you basing that on fool ? My complete lack of spewing any numbers so far ? Way to go there strawboy.

If you missed the point the only relevence these numbers have in regard to them being “fact checked” is whether they support the assessments made by the President.

For the record — and this is the point I was making — I had no idea whether anything he said was true or not and that didn’t change after reading ThinkProgress’ “fact checking” of those statements, as they didn’t actually do any fact checking.

Got the point now ? Capable of any independant thought which would allow you to make a similar criticism ? No ?

Webb had good points about all sorts of jobs heading overseas, thanks in no small part to your god, uh sorry the president.

FYI I have no god or President. But don’t let that stop you working with those tried and true sterotypes. Saves having to think about what you write.

Webb held a mirror up to their irrational and unethical behavior last night. It will be interesting to see the reaction.

Priceless.

The reality is the exact opposite. No Child Left Behind masks a Federal takeover of public schools.

He said “9/11″ twice, but he mentioned September an additional three times (September 11th and “that September morning”) Guess old habits die hard. Especially when you’re trying to equate everything with terrorism…

…as the other two guests alluded to…

Like anyone is going to believe Bushy boy now. He’s been lying for so long, he lost is way.
