The $799 billion of debt that you insist upon having explained (which I have already ceded) is of minor consequence when you consider the larger debit picture.

You shouldn't have ceded the $769 billion increase in the first 27 days of Obama's presidency. I actually screwed up. The 769 billion is actually 789 billion. However, that is the amount the debt ceiling was increased, and not the actual amount spent during the first 27 days. My mistake. I didn't do it on purpose to support my argument that Obama hasn't doubled the debt.

However, take a look at my post using Hannity's numbers above. I wasn't playing with numbers. The screw up with increase in the debt ceiling made it impossible to answer my question about the 27 days. At least, when I am wrong I admit that I am wrong.
