Maybe this will help. I assume you know the Mitt Romney ad from last week where he has Obama saying something about the economy.. but as it turns out, Obama wasn't saying that, the whole clip has Obama saying "This is what John McCain said..." and the Romney add just clipped and edited out that "McCain" part to make it seem like it was Obama's words..
their 'reasoning' for this was because Obama will probably not talk about the economy, like he was saying McCain wouldn't.. so it was OK for them to present McCain's words as Obama..
this is a an erroneous and misleading ad. Because when you fill in the whole Obama quote, then it changes the meaning of what he was saying...
you do get that much right?
you did the same thing here...
Obama said he would veto any attempt by Congress to fix those cuts..
you've presented this in a way where I would say "Well hey, that pretty dick-ish of him to veto any attempt congress makes.".. but when you add in the actual words he used about the the veto, that he will veto any attempt of congress to get around the sequestration and go even further with an explanation of why, because he is demanding they find a way to reduce the deficit like they had pledged to do.. it changes the whole opinion on the subject. You just saying 'any attempt by congress' and leaving off 'to get around the sequestration' creates a whole new world that doesn't exist.
so yes, it does drive me crazy when you do that. why do you not give out all the information when you present your side? Had I not already known about his veto threat, and what it was for, I would have assumed Obama was being a pretty huge dick because he was not going to work with congress on this and instead, veto any progress they made. But that's not the real scenario here is it? So why would you want me or anyone to have that erroneous information?
sorry your other boards let you get away with presenting false information. I guess that's why you've blown back in here presented 1/2 truth 'rape' articles and un-true OWS photos... you're out of practice in being above being 'sourced'..maybe we can change that..
one could argue above that Obama probably won't talk about the economy the way McCain wouldn't.. because the words did come out of his mouth... just like you could argue that Obama said he will veto any attempt congress makes... the problem is, both leave off so much 'integral' information that when you add it in, it changes the story totally..
Nope. It's so simple that you refuse to understand it. Apparently because you have some sort of vitriolic, reactionary response to anything I write, so that you can't read the words that I write, you have to make up your own meaning.
