There is dread truth in the notion Obama is the worst thing since the A-bomb unleashed against Hiroshima.Scott in Houston wrote:
I must ask, in advance, forgiveness for having a sense of satire even in this. If Obama does anything to disrespect my Dad's generation's sacrifices I will never recover from the frustration. My Dad took up arms in defense of his country. In this American crisis there is nothing decent people can do. We're whipped. I'll keep voting, writing, persuading, everything I can do, but it won't make a dent.
With apologies for the sarcastic voices that just won't shut up, I recently did a little analysis of Obama's effect on America vis-a-vis the national debt. I readily concede his partners in crime include Congress at large, including Republicans.
Obama has added about $10,000,000,000,000 to the national debt.
Once the dollar has been rendered into garbage someone will have to take out all that trash and do something with it. For the purpose of this analysis, I assume it will be burned.
Since a dollar bill weighs about .0022 pounds, the $10,000,000,000,000 Obama borrowed on our behalf is about 22,046,200,000 pounds of paper (or about the payload capacity of 88,681 747's).
A pound of paper releases about 6,200 BTU when burned. The Hiroshima bomb released something more than 59,484,000,000 BTU.
Obama's debt, by my figuring, was therefore an attack against American equivalent to about 2,310 Hiroshima bombs.
It ain't funny.
Can this great nation please come to its collective senses?
