How the hell do you come to that conclusion?

It's simple Robbie.. every time it;s anything about Obama or liberals.. you nit pick it to death to figure out a way that it's their fault. Meanwhile when counter argument are made that show the other side of the fence does the exact same thing, you always ignore it or say it doesn't matter because they aren't in power or blahh blahh blahh..
It's just like the NM example. If it were 45% of Americans living in poverty, you would blame Obama. Meanwhile you blame Indians living on reservations for the fact NM has a 45% poverty rate, even though I've shown you that the larger number of people in NM are not Indians living on reservations.
I then went on to say that if a state has 45% poverty rate, don't yea think they are doing something wrong? Yet once again you go back to tell me how dumb I am and it's Indians stupid..
So you wonder why I look at you as Right wing apologist? The simple fact is I drove around a lot of New Mexico and yes I made a mistake about the population numbers.. my bad..
However while I did see some Indians living in crappy conditions, I also saw a lot of white people as well as hispanics living in crappy conditions. You know what else I saw? Nearly no jobs.
Texas next door was like a boom town almost all over the state. Colorado, what I've seen of it so far is much the same.. Lots of building and you open up craigs list and there are lots of jobs. Not min wage jobs like I saw in NM but jobs that pay at the very least a livable income.
Now that to me tells me NM is doing something wrong. Santa Fe was awesome.. Nice smaller to mid size city with mountains next door, but next to no jobs. Albuquerque didn't look bad but it did show signs of homelessness & closed up shops in certain areas.. Still if you don''t mind that the cops might shoot you it didn't seem like a bad place. Still next to no decent jobs.
What this shows me is despite NM not being a bad place to live due to the scenery and so forth.. the state govt has not been able to deliver jobs or grow their population or economy despite having several military bases and research labs that add a good kick to the state's economy.
This tells me once again they are doing something wrong and it's not the fact they have Indians living on reservations..
