Claiming the US was downgraded under Obama is misleading. It suggests Obama caused it. OF COURSE the GOP is going to lie about Obama. They do it every day. But even if Obama really did cause the US downgrade, Christie caused EIGHT downgrades to NJ. And I mean HE HIMSELF caused them, unlike Obama. I think it IS a good thing to bring up. And if the GOP did bring up Obama, we can point out how the downgrade was not caused by Obama, but every one of the EIGHT in NJ were caused by Christie.

You don't have to assume people are stupid or not thinking or missing the point just because they disagree with you.
