Chris Christie "by the numbers"

(CBS News) The New Jersey governor's office somehow managed to determine that the "Late Show with David Letterman" has made 327,832 fat jokes about Chris Christie. As for the number of questions he's received about running for either president or vice president? His aides could only summarize, "Too many to count."
A press release titled "Chris Christie by the numbers" went up on the governor's website Wednesday, taking "a look back at everything across three balanced budgets." Ranging everywhere from Twitter followers (125,820) to bills vetoed (39) to Politifact.com ratings of "Pants on Fire" (four), the list boils down to the apparent point of the list: "Tax increases: 0."
The infographic is likely just a reminder to Christie's constituents, or his office merely having some fun, but it will surely kick up the dust that had somewhat settled around his speculated role in presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's veepstakes consideration.

Romney said his resignation from Bain in February 1999 means he is not responsible for Bain Capital companies that went bankrupt or laid off workers after that date.
Government documents filed by Mitt Romney state that Romney remained chief executive and chairman until 2002, even creating five new investment partnerships during that time.
Public Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed later by Bain Capital state he remained the firm's "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president."
A Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002.
Just once, I like for one of them to point to a stop sign and said it's red, just so I can know they are capable of not lying about everything.

Did Obama promise the ACA would be deficit neutral, yes he did.
Did Obama promise you could keep your current health policy in the future, yes he did.
Did Obama promise the ACA would lower health care costs, yes he did.
All Lies, every one of them, should I keep going? You get the point ?
Naive, astounding!
The show debuted August 1993, runs 5 nights per week for 45 minutes of air time. That's 212,420 minutes TOTAL.
You do the math from here.
If they'd lie about that, then where will the truth begin...
