sorry shitstain, only you mistook a smiling obama and 15 trillion in debt as other than a political ad.
and there is no distortion, silly boy.
here is a cut and paste:
Reagan: Up 14.9 percentage points
George H.W. Bush: Up 7.1 percentage points
Clinton: Down 13.4 percentage points
George W. Bush: Up 5.6 percentage points
Obama: Up 21.9 percentage points (through December 2010 only)
So by this measurement -- potentially a more important one -- Obama is the undisputed debt king of the last five presidents
take note that we're now in nov. of 2011 so obama's number will now be even higher.
