“Paul Ryan represents Obama’s most horrifying nightmare: Math”

“Paul Ryan represents Obama’s most horrifying nightmare: Math”

Keith Backer

The Blogfather has a great column where he quotes the always hysterical IowaHawk regarding the impact of selection Paul Ryan on the Obama campaign psyche:

In Inman Majors’ terrific novel The Millionaires, a consultant explains that there are really only two themes to political campaigns: “It’s A Bright New Day,” and “Back To Basics.” Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was “Bright New Day” raised to a higher power. Now, with the choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney has signaled that he’s doubling down on “Back To Basics.” That has risks, but they’re risks worth running.

With trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, and the exploding national debt (which Obama called unconscionable when it was about half as big as it has become under his stewardship) it seems time for a Back To Basics approach. And that’s clearly the direction favored by Romney, the turnaround artist who specialized in taking mismanaged entities and making them work. His choice of Ryan simply takes it to a new level. As Internet humorist IowaHawk tweeted on Saturday: “Paul Ryan represents Obama’s most horrifying nightmare: Math.”

As the great one often says, read the whole thing…

The Dept of Defense briefed the President this morning:They told President Obama that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. .

To everyone’s surprise, he collapsed onto his desk, head in his
hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears.

Finally, he composed himself and asked,
‘Just how many is a brazilian?’

If you haven't seen it yet ...

Paul Ryan Takes Obamacare Apart in 6 Minutes While Obama Watches in disbelief.

Now THAT's a lesson in addition and subtraction that Obama will never forget!

This image from a recent blog posting of mine seems relevant to the topic. Very bad math.
