How To Argue with an Obama Devotee?
An acquaintance of mine on Facebook, a woman in San Francisco, posted a link to
this article.
I politely asked her why it was wrong for Mitt Romney to tell the truth, namely that Spain's spending is completely out of control. I also added:
While I was visiting Germany earlier this year, the Greeks were really angry at Angela Merkel because she told them that they were spending too much. They were and they are. Does that make it wrong for her to tell them the truth? As a Canadian, I will openly tell you all, my American friends, that you're spending way, way too much. Your debt has grown to astronomical levels. Every country in history that has had such high debt compared to what it produces, has suffered a terrible crash with devastating results afterwards. Does me saying this make me undiplomatic and insulting of you?
A quick question you need to ask yourself is this: If Barack Obama had said the same thing as Romney had, would you have felt the same way?
She responded thusly:
Obama hasn't gotten us into this mess, which is the worst recession since the 1930's, and based on the fact that much of the collapse revolved around lack of regulation in the housing loan business, there's no quick fix. Once people started losing their homes, it has a domino effect. George W. Bush is the one who got us into two wars, gave tax cuts, and added medicare benefits without EVER including them in his budget. Obama got the hand he was dealt. And I can tell you that the Republicans have done absolutely EVERYTHING they can to stop every effort he makes to get the economy back on track.
Just curious, how would you respond to this?
