What is the fallacy whereby a person deflects to another subject. Example “George Bush nearly doubled the national debt from roughly 5 trillion to 10 trillion.” Response “Obama added 6 trillion alone.” Is that a specific type of fallacy, when my opponent attempts to switch the topic from George W Bush to Barrack Obama?
