I love your graph, it shows how easy it is to get stats to tell a lie. Count the years when the

Republicans were in the Presidency: 16 years
Democrats were in the Presidency: 12 years

4 years less for the Democrats is 25% less, so your "who has increased the debt ceiling the most" graph, is a total misrepresentation. You're treating 16 years, as if it were equal to 12 years. Only a democrat would postulate such nonsense.

Look at it another way - take the red and blue columns as if they were steps, and "walk" up the steps. Even with fighting the Cold War (Reagan), and spending a lot on starting the war against terror (Bush), the big - really big - "steps" in the columns, are all Obama's.

Nobody else is even close.

I'm sure you can point out a hundred cuts to the budget that Obama has made. Somehow, you have failed to point to the thousands and tens of thousands of increases that he's made.

I do appreciate your academic effort in these posts, Lamplighter. You will show better than I have, the lie that is the propaganda Obama spews out, and heretofore at least, the media has lapped up hungrily.

Just not the facts, unfortunately.
