A couple of weeks back, a friend posted this on facebook:
To my republican friends. Your party is engaged in unprecedented obstruction and lies. And it's not a case of "well both parties are bad". Don't give me that crap. You're either oblivious to it, or you don't care.
Someone had a facebook picture the other day, something to the effect of, "My friends are making it hard to be friends with them after the election."
Seems like the closet dicks are becoming bold. The dude starts a post, "To my republican friends..." and closes the statement calling them either stupid, or evil. Yep, that's a good friend, right there.

My response:
TL;DR. Is the gist that while the actual debt IS $16 trillion, it's not all Obama's fault? Is that it? Wow, those lying liars!
Towards the end, he admits they're only responsible for a third of it or so. Granted, that's still FIVE TRILLION dollars, a number even scientists and mathematicians are too lazy to write out fully most of the time and instead elect to abbreviate with scientific notation.
The stimulus package came with a $787 billion price tag. If you include all growth in the national debt under the Obama administration, it’s roughly $5.4 trillion, not $16 trillion. The administration inherited a national debt of more than $10 trillion when it came into office.

I'm in the second of those two categories.

Graham is deeply concerned about the move, and about the lack of attention it is receiving — within and without Congress. The manouvre is “incredibly disturbing,” he told me. How disturbing? “It is exhibit A in the march toward an imperial presidency.” The “statute is clear,” Graham continued, “the WARN Act is the law of the land.” Here, “we have a White House saying, ‘we don’t care what the law we signed says.’” The OMB analysis — which holds that as the law might change, there is no need for businesses to comply with it — is “absurd on its face,” the senator told me, and the Department of Labor’s advisory opinion “a political move.” It is “patently illegal for the federal government to absorb the financial cost of a private company for not following the law. Never have we put the taxpayer on the hook for a private company failing to follow the law.”

The commentary I have been seeing today from the left is, generally, ROMNEY JUST LIED ALL NIGHT WHY DIDN'T OBAMA CALL HIM ON IT?
I guess that's the crux of the problem. Romney lists a string of facts about Obama's 4 years that make Obama look really bad, and half the country doesn't believe it could possibly be true.
