No wonder Obama has his college records sealed....he probably flunked Math!

That is just DUMB!

The president, any president, does not do budgetary calculations. These are done by accountants, and the government has hundreds of them.

Romney says he won't raise taxes, and proposes to give investors and corporations a big tax break and expand the military. That is pretty much impossible as well. So his budget is a lie or also the result of bad math as well.

Ryan the weasel has little chance of getting his hateful crap through Congress, any Congress, and in any case, he claims it is "revenue neutral".

per your completely uncredible say so

I hardly think that the deficit is due to the President's ability to do arithmetic.

Any politician stating arithmetical truths is unlikely to win favor with some, perhaps more, voters.

You are right.
This is not just a fact , it is a problem.

Unless the economy actually expands more than the national debt does , there will not be enough tax revenue to cover the debt no matter how artfully the figures get juggled.

Every year we need a few more Billionaires and a bale more millionaries, nothing elese would produce better revenue than that.

It is hard to do the math to know where the break even points are, but it is easy to see that plenty is better than barely enough.

I wish that the president were astute enough to realise things like this, there would be no such thing as too soon to start doing it right.

But as you point out, he is astute enough to tell us what is nice to hear.

Leave it to Xo, to again refute a point never made.....the notion that the deficit is due to "the President's ability to do arithmetic".  It's due to his policies, put in place, when he had carte blanche control of all of Government, including a Fillibuster proof senate majority, in his 1st 2 years.  Policies that have specifically strangled any attempts for either the private sector to get any employment momentum, and debt that is exponentally higher than when he claimed how unpatriotic it was for Bush to have had

Any politician stating arithmetical truths is unlikely to win favor with some, perhaps more, voters.

We'll see come Nov, won't we, as more and more "truths" come out, regarding the actual state of the economy, & the country's deathspiral of debt.  Hard core numbners, that regardless of how minimal the Main Scream Media, tries to make of it, people's decreased takehome pay, and those still unemployed at over 8% for the gazillionth month in a row now, will take note......and VOTE

But take heart Xo.....I read recently a report that if the election were held for those either non-voting, or unable to vote, Obama would win in a landslide

READ THE TITLE OF THIS POST, you drooling moron!

The original point is that our President refused to release his college records because "he probably flunked math".

It is a stupid allegation, but that is what it says.

The chief problem in this country is that more and more of this nation's wealth is concentrated in a few hands at the top. and Romney &  Ryan want to make it even more possible for this to continue.

If Romney, a man who has refused to invest in tobacco and, yes, firearms, manages to get off with a total tax liability of a paltry 13%, what can we assume for the even more obese cats who have no compunctions at all and no desire to become president?

How many jobs has Romney created?

Do we really need more Rupert effing Murdocks, who will do anything just to acquire his fifth billionth dollar? Do you seriously believe that an army of Paris Hiltons and Donald Trumps will lead us to the Pot O' Gold at the End of the Rainbow?

Warren Buffett and many others managed to make piles and bunches of money with tax rates much higher than the ones we currently have.

Every politician in this country knows that voters love benefits and hate taxes. FREE is everyone's favorite price. To suggest that this is somehow a revelation to anyone is simply dumb.

  It is really worse than President Obama being poor with arithmatic.

  I have never seen any evidence that he is good with arithmatic , but the situation is worse than this would imply.

  President Obama is trying to say that people serious about reducing the debt will favor a 3% or less improvement in tax recipts that he posits we will acheive by soaqking the rich.

   Incredible and insulting it is that he is confident that few Americans have sufficent understanding of arithmatic to know that he is not being serious .

  Isn't that bad?

Boy, just can't lay off the immature 3rd grade namecalling, can you.  Yea, I did read the article, and although Professor Obvious here would like to make this out as a literal article on Obama's math skills, IN CONTEXT, its referencing how he and his administration simply can't grasp the reality of simple math.  His policies and path he's trying to lead this country in, is simply unsustainable, EVEN IF YOU MERELY RAISED TAXES ON "THE RICH".  I can't vouch for why Cu2 specifically titled the thread as he did, but I sure took it as a nifty slap at the FACT that Obama hasn't released his college records (while hypocritically demanding that Romney release more tax returns than he's legally required), but that the crux of the article again demonstrates how mathematically debunked Obama's class warfare tactic is

Romney's budget proposal would be even worse than Obama's.

If Romney wants anyone to shut up about his paltry tax returns, he can put them out there for all to see.
If he does not do this, he will clearly lose a lot of votes. No one but rightwing morons think there is any reason for President Obama to release his transcripts. It is just stupid to claim that he does not understand mathematics.

[Plane]

What I mean to say is that President Obama is showing his contempt for the American Voter by presenting his plan as a solution , when only a moments thought reviels that there is no potential for even minor improvement in it.

How exactly is Canadate Romneys plan worse than that?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Romney's plan is to spend more money and raise no revenue, so it would involve even more borrowing than Obama's plan.

There is no sense in spending more on the military when there is less fighting and fewer troops abroad.

[Plane]

How can you know there will be less fighting abroad?

How could Romney possibly plan more spending than Obama?

Ok, here's your problem....YOU CAN'T BACK THAT UP.  I'd ask you to support that claim, but your record speaks volumes, in your subsequent deafening silence.  YOUR SAY SO HAS NO CREDIBILITY.  THAT'S WHAT THE CONSTANT LACK OF BACKING UP YOUR CLAIMS HAS RENDERED YOUR CLAIMS.  Just because you "say so" doesn't make it so.  Bottom line, he has no legal need to provide any more in the way of tax returns.  He was vetted by the McCain campaign, and being that there have been no indictments handed down, you and Seantor Reid can take a flying leap off some building as it relates to both of yours "say so"

As it relates to Obama & Math, the FACTS speak for themselves.  You can't raise taxes on "the rich" and even dent the debt that Obama has rendered upon this country and generations to follow.  But it WOULD continue to squelch any possiblility of job creation, as you raise taxes on the job creators and employers.  But you apparently flunked logic 101
