You just can’t help the terminally stupid

Some stupidities are so good, they need more publicity.

I blogged this morning on Obama's huge US$1.8 trillion deficit.

Sonic then commented:

Those poor , they have controlled congress and the presidency for most of the last 40 years yet somehow everything is still the Dems fault.

Now Sonic obviously did not do his homework. Anyone knows much about US politics will know the controlled the House without a break from 1954 to the Revolution of 1994.

I pointed out to Sonic:

Jesus mate do you ever get sick of showing how ignorant you are? I mean I guess it is why you don't comment under your actual name. Since 1968, Democrats have controlled the Senate for 24 out of 40 years, and the House for 28 out fo 40 years

For those interested in details the Democrats controlled the House from 1968 to 1994, and 2006 to 2008. In the Senate they had control from 1968 to 1980, 1986 to 1994, some of 2000 – 2002, and from 2006- 2008.

Sonic then responds:

What are you gibbering about David, presidents since 1969.

Richard Nixon (1969-1974) R

Gerald Ford (1974-1977) R

(1977-1981) D

Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) R

George Bush (1989-1993) R

Bill (1993-2001) D

George W. Bush (2001-2009) R

So in the last 40 years republicans have been president for all but 12 of them.

Now this is a new levelof . He does not know the difference between the Presidency and Congress. I never disupted the statement about Presidents.

Even the most ignorant students know the difference between the Presidency and Congress. But not Sonic it seems.
