The ad makes absolutely no sense anyway. Kids won't work. They'll work when they grow up. How is this any different than what the rest of us have done?

68: I wouldn't argue that other presidents have run up deficits - Reagan, for instance. What really nips my biscuits on this joker, though is not that he further ran up an existing deficit, but that he started from a budget that was running a surplus as far as the eye could see and flipped it on its head. Last president to do that must've been FDR, and he had the Great Depression to deal with and a solid mandate to do what it took to end it. Chimp boy had no such mandate - not even a majority of the electorate - and no such extraordinary circumstance. And don't tell me we couldn't fix al-Quaida but good if we didn't get bogged down in Iraq and do it without breaking the bank.
Now, the second part of your argument is more cogent, but still a straw man. Marketing is the art of exaggerating for effect, or are you telling me that I will really grow wings if I drink Red Bull?
