First of all, he did not inherit over a trillion dollars in debt from the Bush Administration. As John Hinderaker notes, the Democratic-controlled Congress waited until after Obama was sworn in office before they passed massive spending increases. Letterman then actually went further and asked Obama how much total debt has been accrued. President Obama said he didn't know precisely and then failed to give an answer to the relevant question (as Jonah Goldberg said tonight on Fox News, Obama saying he didn't know something precisely doesn't mean that he couldn't have given out a ball park estimate). Even he knows how bad it sounds to say out loud that we are 16 trillion dollars in debt. This is really about as low as it gets. Preying on stupidity is not the way to go.
A campaign commercial should be made out of this immediately and sent out to all the battleground states tomorrow.
