Chris Wallace smacks Dick Durbin over Barack Obama’s debt rhetoric hypocrisy.

RESIZE: AAA

I personally think that maybe Chris Wallace shouldn’t have done this to Senator Dick Durbin. Executive summary of “this:” Wallace asked Durbin why it was that President Barack Obama in 2013 declared that our $16 trillion debt was “sustainable,” when Candidate Barack Obama in 2008 declared that $9 trillion debt was “unpatriotic;” and Durbin answered the question by declaring to Wallace that Durbin had had a dry night and did not need to go potty.

Note that I am trying to give the semantic gist of the conversation, here: as Doug Power notes, Durbin didn’t even try to answer the question.

Anyway, again: I’m almost upset at Chris Wallace for this smacking around of Durbin. It is unkind to remind those who are more than one standard deviation below average intelligence that they cannot in fact function in modern society without a full-time caretaker.

    Chris Wallace was talking about overall total debt, Durbin was talking about yearly budget deficit. Lowering the budget deficit (by a few billion over 10 years) is going to do nothing to the total debt but slow down its increase by a very small amount. The overall total debt will still be over 20 trillion by the time BHO leaves office.

    “Embarrassment” is exactly the word I have often used (if not worse). Over the years I have sent many faxes and e-mails to Durbin, opposing his stance on issues. He would always respond with an explanation (lie) about why he is disregarding my position while ignoring the facts and fiscal consequences. This is Illinois excuse for “representation” ? If I got 90 percent of Illinois citizens to sign petitions, it wouldn’t make any difference.
