Obama’s accomplishments so far

[sd_t2]

[quote=jficquette]There is definitely something to how they think to make them the way they are.

Yes, we could start with the fact that they think at all.

Neglecting Bush’s far more patronizing and offensive backrub of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, let’s focus on one of the few assertions you make that are provable/disprovable — the “doubling” of the national debt under Obama.

This handy tool from the Treasury will help expose your “fuzzy math”:

Putting in Jan 21, 2009 and Nov 12, 2009 as the date range we get:

10.625 trillion and 11.987 trillion, respectively – a 12.8% increase in the national debt.

Putting in the Bush era – Jan 21, 2001 to Jan 20, 2009, however, we get:

5.728 trillion and 10.627 trillion, respectively — an 85.5% increase (that is, a near doubling) of the national debt.

So… whatever political stripe you choose to wear, do your homework and you’ll be more credible.

Allan, I only said that John looks like Beck and Limbaugh. Considering that they think alike that’s a compliment. 😉

Anyway, they all look the same to me….

At least he has 42 friends. I don’t even have a Facebook account.

Those talking points seem pretty childish to me.

17.. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for America ‘s world leadership.

I missed this one when it happened.

Did he
1) circle the globe as an apology, without explicitly issuing the apology.
2) circled the globe, arrived to the origin and said “I apologize for America’s world leadership.”
3) circled the globe and made few stops, each time saying “I apologize for America’s world leadership.”
4) something completely different (John Cleese will perform in San Diego on Wednesday)

Make sure you are using equal timespans. You are comparing less than a year (9months) to an 8 year time span.. If we continue at the current rate over the length of time Bush was president, national debt will increase by ((8 * 12)/ 9) * (12.8/100) = 136.5%… unless the relation is geometric which means (e^((ln 1.128)/9))^(8*12) = 261.4% or a multiple of 3.614x of what Bush left it at.
