"Obama Spending Binge Never Happened" by Rex Nutting at MarketWatch

11. Love some of the responses

I love some of the responses to the article at the Market Watch site.

Like: "This article is way off base. Obama's stimulus packages did not work."

Umm, the article is not about whether Obama's stimulus packages worked or not.

And this one is just confusing: "Spending more than you take in is still spending, no matter how you want to reword it."

The article did not try to "reword spending". The article was not about spending vs how much you take in.

But here is the doozy: "So, in even using your article here, it is a proven (and graphically-portrayed) fact that:

**Obama has handily spent more money in any given year of his presidency than any other single year of any prior president's terms in history. And he's done that FOUR STRAIGHT YEARS.***"

Yes, that is true about Obama. But it's also true about every president except George Washington! Man, some people are dumb!
