And these are the people who are trying to "fix" the American economy?
The Obama Campaign has launched a coordinated effort urging people to save money... or something. On their official Wisconsin, California, and Indiana twitter feeds, the President's campaign is slamming Republicans for their supposed "fuzzy math." Unfortunately for Obama, he is employing idiots.
Because every:

Tweet:
Cannot multiply forty times twelve. By the way, forty times twelve equals four hundred eighty dollars, by my estimation.
By the way, if I had forty dollars to burn, I would buy the Obama Campaign a calculator. What would you spend it on?

math? please... it's ARITHMETIC!!! and they can't do that either
You’re absolutely right. And this is why kids have so much trouble with MATH in upper grades, because they don’t teach them ARITHMETIC in the lower grades!
Forty bucks a month does equal a thousand bucks in some of the 57 states.
Well, 2012 is a leap year. And $2,080 is approximately $1,000, to an order of magnitude. The maximum income subject to Social Security tax is $110,100, two-percent of which is $2,202. (Owww, my head hurts) or a little more than forty bucks a week. Median family income in the U.S. in 2010 was $48,753, assuming all of it was subject to Social Security withholding gives $975 (approximately $1,000) or about $18.75 week.
I would add that to all the money I’ve been saving by diligently checking my tire pressure and making sure my thermostat is not set at 72 degrees all day and not taking vacations to Las Vegas and I would pack up the wife and kids in the Volt and visit all 57 states before my unemployment runs out.
You got suckered.
Everything is one dollar at dollar stores.
One must forgive the oversight of brilliant, intellectual, really-really smart, Progressive geniuses. They’re always thinking. They have minds the size of the universe and their thinking abilities go beyond human limitations.
It’s those bible-thumping, gun-loving, Constitution-loving, Christian morons in flyover country who have a problem with arithmetic.

I thought it was 40 bucks a week anyway. (that would be about a grand).
yup, a house with no solid foundation is bound to fall...
I get mine free in the mail.
Maybe they meant 40 bucks and a mule.
Cheers!
...oh, and Merry Christmas.
“Everything is one dollar at dollar stores.”
Never been in a dollar store, have you?
You got fooled by someplace CLAIMING to be a dollar store, didn't you?
