    Interestingly, regarding the gay baby question - I asked ib1 the same question on politics.com (whether it would be OK to abort a gay baby). His response was that it wouldn't be OK because it's discrimination.

    Well, for starts, Obama has increased the debt a whole lot more than 16%. The statistics on that graphic are outdated (hell, it was false in 4/2011 when it was created). Obama has increased the debt more in just over 3 years than Bush did in 8 years. Here's an article about it from your beloved SeeBS news:

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...an-under-bush/

    Quote: "The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office."

    Well, imagine what it would be like if he hadn't increased the deficit.

    The rest is highly subjective and/or hypothetical. For example, "If there was a DNA test to see if a baby is gay..."
