The $7 Trillion Lie: Palin Falsely Claims Debt Has Grown More Under Obama Than ‘All Other Presidents Combined’
This is flatly false. When Obama took office the debt stood at $10.6 trillion. After inheriting two wars and the worst economy since the Great Depression, the debt has grown by $3.7 trillion since Obama has been in office. Palin is off by about $7 trillion. So not only has the deficit not increased more under Obama than all other Presidents combined, it has increased less under Obama than our last president, George W. Bush. Under President Bush, who inherited a $236 billion budget surplus from President Clinton, the deficit increased by $4.9 trillion.
She opens up and stupid comes out. What galls me worse than her lies is that the media bothers to be gaga over her and her comments. Like the time she was in Wisconsin and spoke to a group of 6500 people some who let it be known they did not like her. The media was all over it, over and over and over again. President Obama went to Wisconsin, same area, spoken with over 30,000 people, all who cheered and were happy to see him and the media reported? Yeah not a damn thing.
ReplyDeletePat when it comes to the media they gush all over SP to the point of being an embarrassment to our Country. Most Countries think that our media and palin followers are star struck idiots for giving this woman the time of day! She is nothing but a snake oil sellsman and the media can't get enough of the oil. As I said in the past...real journalism is a thing of the past. If it weren't for blogs and those who write books about SP the truth would NEVER get out. I do love the way Lawrence calls out this whole show but that IS NOT ENOUGH! The media needs to report on the REAL SP! Just ticks me off to the point where I change channels or shut the TV off the minute they start talking about where SP is now. These media people are making asses of themselves!
