...Hmmm. If it’s true, as President Obama said that the fence across our southern border is “basically complete,” let’s see what kind of math that equates to in other areas of Presidential endeavor.

670 miles of completed fence divided by an entire border of 2,000 miles. That gives us a baseline definition: “Basically complete” = 33% done.

By that standard, we could say that joblessness is basically solved: 33% of the current unemployment rate of 9% gives us a basically complete unemployment rate of 3%. Wow! We haven’t seen anything close to that since 1969!

We could say that our looming energy crisis is basically averted: with average gasoline prices well over $4/gallon, we’re basically paying 33% of that, or $1.40. We’re golden! ...

I suppose I could have, but it always seems rude to me to grab an entire article and post it, even if it is my own work.

So he should only get a 16 month term, which has already expired.

Time to go, Obama!

  I think Presidential Math is something that grows on you - it's something we've all gotten used to and it's just OK now. Even though Obama's latest birth certificate is maybe 67% fake, I feel relieved that it's 'basically' a legitimate document.
