Obama said it. I merely reported it, complete with a link. Here's another.

Yes, really.

You didn't report it. A report is "Obama said...." (and, by the way, Obama didn't say the Dow was an Obama tracking poll- that was purely Tex).

You said:

"The Dow is an Obama tracking poll. And he's been trending down pretty much since his election."

Right. With the words "Obama tracking poll" linked to an article with this statement:

Quote:

“The stock market is sort of like a tracking poll in politics,” said the president. “It bobs up and down, day to day, and if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong.”

So if you link to an article within a statement that you make, the reader is to assume that you aren't making the statement but are merely quoting a statement from the article, even if the quote isn't one which is actually contained in the article?

Um, okay?

No wonder you can arrive at the position that waterboarding isn't torture. Your pretzel logic can take you anywhere.

My "pretzel" logic > your lying.
