February 2012
Conservatives: The economy has gotten worse under Obama!
Reality: Umm no. Ya see, when Bush left office we were LOSING about 700,000 jobs every month. Today we are GAINING around of 150,000 jobs every month.
Conservatives: Oh yeah?! Why is the unemployment number higher then? He promised it wouldn't go above 8%!
Reality: Well, Obama wasn't president yet when he said that. In December of 2008, while Bush was still in office, we lost an unexpectedly high number of jobs- 650,000 of them.
Conservatives: Firstly, stop blaming Bush for things that happened when Bush was president! Secondly, what about all the job losses that happened since Obama became president?
Reality: Well, Obama was sworn in on January 20th, 2009. In that same month, BEFORE he even moved in to the White House, we lost 700,000 jobs. You can't blame him for that. And then in February, BEFORE any of his legislation even went in to effect, we lost an additional 650,000 jobs. You also can't blame him for that.
Conservatives: Fuck you, reality! I'm gonna go watch Fox News with Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. Keep you silly facts to yourself, they make my head hurt.
Reality: K Bye. See you in 2016.

You and me.
Nope. “Just like you and I are” would work, so “just like you and I” does. Of course, this is all technically moot, as the correct phrasing is “Just as you and I”.
I don’t think he understands the definition of moot.
