The only lie is the one you keep telling straw... You are in fact the ONLY person on this board willing to continue telling it!
Not one SINGLE OTHER Obama fan is willing to stoop SO low.
I've made my point of view VERY CLEAR
you choose to interpret Obama's quote in a particular way (one which I consider to be completely stupid) and I choose to interpret it in another way
you consider "increase" to mean if the rate is temporarily lowered and then brought back to the place it started as an "increase"
I consider an increase to be an actual increase from the original starting point i.e. a true net increase and not an expiration of a discount
Most people would completely understand this which is why no reporter in his right mind would get on national TV and make a fool of himself by asking Obama about your chosen perspective on the words "increase"
