    I listen to the debates and read the news was wondering about a few numbers that I am pretty sure have changed but am to lazy to look it up.

    1. When is Obama getting the troops out of Iraq? I could have sworn I heard 1 year in a Hillary debate but now I am hearing 16 months. Which one is it?

    2. 250K income increase is real or is it 200K like he said in the commercial?

    thanks

    1. I've always heard 16 months.
    2. I think it's 250K if filed jointly and 200K if filed as an individual.

    It's been 16 months all along.

    No tax increase unless you're making 250K+.

    Tax cut for people under 200K.

    200-249K: no change.

    seriously no one ever remembers 1 year withdawl? I actually watched the Dem debates pretty closely before I got tired of the election and tuned out.

    Your memory is failing you here.

    I promise you this: If there was anything like this - either real or anywhere near real (even a total misstatement) - it would be in every single McCain ad right now. They are losing and losing badly and they are throwing everything they have. Here is a list of those things:

    - Inexperienced
    - Ayers
    - Wright
    - Rezko
    - PLO
    - Redistributionist
    - Socialist
    - Communist

    The only one that is even arguably relevant is "inexperienced." And they gave up all rights to that argument with Palin.

    If you need any further clarification, feel free to ask for it here. Feel free too to just go to barackobama.com. You will find comprehensive answers to the questions you posed here (and any others you might have) there.

    I wasn't meaning to be a jerk. Sorry if it came off that way.

    Actually all of those are plainly true except for the communist point. The others are all accurate. I guess you could cover your eyes and pretend "they ain't so", but you'd be wrong. Sorry.
