*If any other of our presidents had doubled the national debt,

Which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year,

Would you have approved?*


*If any other of our presidents had then proposed to double the debt again

Within 10 years,

Would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had criticized a state law

That he admitted he never even read,

Would you think that he is just an

Ignorant hot head? *


*If any other of our presidents joined the country of Mexico

And sued a state in the United States to force that state

To continue to allow illegal immigration, would you question his patriotism

And wonder who's side he was on? *


*If any other of our presidents had pronounced the Marine Corps

Like Marine Corpse, would you think him an idiot? *


*If any other of our presidents had put 87,000 workers out of work

By arbitrarily placing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling

On companies that have one of the best safety records of any industry

Because one foreign company had an accident,

Would you have agreed? *


*If any other of our presidents had used a forged document

As the basis of the moratorium that would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him? *


*If any other of our presidents had been the first President to need a Teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference,

Would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept

He is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men

Behind the scenes? *


*If any other of our presidents had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars

To take his First Lady to a play in NYC, would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had reduced your retirement plan holdings

Of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM,

Would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had made a joke

At the expense of the Special Olympics,

Would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive

And incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him

A thoughtful and historically significant gift,

Would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had given the Queen of England

An iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought it

A proud moment for America ? *

And then

Obama returns Churchill Bust to England:

British Press sees snub.


*If any other of our presidents had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia

Would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had visited Austria and made reference

To the nonexistent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off

As a minor slip? *


*If any other of our presidents had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers

With people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes,
Would you have approved? *


*If any other of our presidents had stated that there were 57 states

in the United States, wouldn't you have had second thoughts

about his capabilities? *


*If any other of our presidents would have flown all the way to Denmark

to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics would benefit him

walking out his front door in his home town,

would you not have thought he was a self-important,

conceited, egotistical jerk. *


*If any other of our presidents had been so Spanish illiterate

as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador

when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it

when he tried again, wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment? *


*If any other of our presidents had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel

to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded

he's a hypocrite?*


*If any other of our presidents' administrations had okayed

Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter

in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic,

would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened

on 9-11? *


*If any other of our presidents had failed to send relief aid

to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed

or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made

into a major ongoing political issue with claims of

racism and incompetence? *


*If any other of our presidents had created the position of 32 Czars

who report directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate

on much of what is happening in America,

would you have ever approved. *


*If any other of our presidents had ordered the firing of the CEO

of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority

to do so, would you have approved? *

The first one sounds false, but the rest sound true; but of course most falsehoods sound true to make them believable.

I expect, like the main-stream media, no one will bother....

If certain people expended extraordinary effort trying to spin the facts to always, always cast a popularly elected president of the United States in the worst possible light and to never give him any credit or benefit of the doubt, would you wonder whether those people even knew what it means to be an American?

Well said. I'd add:

If anyone went to extraordinary lengths to dredge up the most extreme, irrelevant negative things to say about a President facing likely re-election, would you call him desperate?

How come we don't have a Big Yawn emoticon?
A good response to your silly forwarded email can be found at the top of the first page of a google search on "did Obama double the national debt?" No doubt you'll criticize factcheck as being biased, which of course your forwarded email is not. Everyone knows forwarded emails, particularly those that match up with what we desperately want to believe, are always factual. There is a cadre of human beings out there with nothing better to do than forward absolutely true emails to every address they can come up with.

The tally: 6/24 are true. 7/24 are partially true. 11/24 are false and/or misleading.

Well, I guess the OP has his answer. Close this puppy up.

Why close anything.

Ron Paul has the answers

Gosh, amazing that people might do that.

You're right. Spinning is definitely a liberal strategy. I've never scene conservatives spin anything.

So a list of facts is trolling? I guess I missed that one when reading Tylers rules.

BTW, I think some of you missed the title of the thread. He invited you to prove the list incorrect.
