I’d like to have Romney turn to Obama just after he’s spouted off one of his “$5 trillion here, $4 trillion there, plus another $1 trillion to boot” diatribes and ask him the following two questions (giving him 10 seconds of his time to answer):
1) President Obama, could you tell me how many zeros follow the number 1 in one trillion?
and
2) President Obama, could you tell me how many billions there are in one trillion?
I would guess that the odds are about even that he gets both questions wrong. If he gets them right, Romney should say “Just checking” and move on. But if he gets them wrong, Romney gets to explain how he finally understands how a President of the United States could run up such a ridiculous debt on in less than four years, and why even the Democrats in the Senate voted down his submitted budget unanimously.
Incidentally, ask the next 4 people you talk with the above two questions. You’ll be surprised how many can’t answer either one correctly. But the President should certainly know.
Hey, you can’t do that. That’s racist math!
Put it in more understandable terms like, ‘How many seeds in a trillion watermelons?’
The man doesn’t even know how many trillions this nation is in debt!
It is delicious irony that the media has enabled this guy, and Romney just outed him and stripped him of his training wheels.
I got the second answer right (I guessed) and I got the first one wrong. I said 16. I still had to Google them though.
