Your post is not too stupid to read; just too stupid to take seriously. I guess that is an improvement.

Just to round things out -[list=A][li] do you believe (as some do) that Obama shrunk the deficit? [_]Which number is larger - $1.2 trillion, or $1.56 trillion?[_]Do you believe that loans from the federal government that are [repaid](http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748703509404575300502253092016.html)from company earnings have the same effect, or a different effect, on the deficit?[\*]Do you believe that Obama is a Keynesian, who believes in deficit spending during a recession but reducing the deficit when the recession is over?[/list]Thinking thru your posts in light of these few simple questions may go a long way in reducing their abject stupidity.
