It’s not exactly surprising for a candidate to remember past election performances a little better than they actually were. (Ahem.)
Yesterday, during a round of television interviews with local affiliates, Obama told a reporter from a Dallas station that in 2008 he lost Texas by “a few” points; the interviewer corrected him by noting it “it was about ten.”
But when you throw that into Obama’s “57 states” and his pledge to enact a “netspending cut” during his presidency, it becomes clear that Obama has always been a verbal guy, not a math guy.
Bravo for your generosity to our math-challenged president. Mr. Obama has provided far more examples than you included that prove he missed the day they taught math at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard. Because they are teaching the progressive ideology, these universities are forced to avoid math.
When you take an honest peek under the hood with our president, its a little scary how little is there. The classic rap session clever blowhard who's low on gray matter and has chosen to skate.
The more people focus on Obama's background the clearer it is that The One may have missed a lot of basics. I think he was a lazy student and I would not be at all surprised to find that he is pretty much a math illiterate. It would not surprise me to find out that he never took a course in stats or economics..but who would know, given his uh.."transparency"..that was it...
Either he is dishonest or he can't add past ten without taking his shoes and socks off and can't add past twenty when he does. I don't think it is dishonesty because he thinks we are all that dumb also. And he either has no one in the White House who understands basic math or they are afraid to tell him he is wrong. Geitner (sp?) can add and subtract - but not well enough to pay his taxes.
I don't know why people are making such a big deal about this interview, Obama did not look so good saying what he said at the end, but the questions were not all that good. When you are 7 minutes with the president, you really can only pursue one line of questioning if you want to get something good, too many people try to cover way too much ground in too little time and that is a mistake.
Like he had any chance of coming anywhere close to only losing Texas by only a few points. If the rest of the country voted like Texas we would be far better off and we would have been spared the Barry regime.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHe says he "loves Texas." Unrequited love is always so sad!

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseIt's official - we have our first Barbie (Math is Hard edition) President.
On a side note; nice way to monetize the captcha.
