Numbers Do Not Lie
Except for when the Left gets a hold of ‘em, of course.
Then they’re of about as much use as Charles Barron’s favorite explanation of “You shut up.”
Mark Knoller has compiled some wicked awesome stats about Year One. Here’s a taster of how Barry frittered away an entire year:
- 42 news conferences, against 21 for Bush.
- 158 (!) interviews.
- 28 fundraisers, against 6 for Bush.
- 7 rallies, all of them on behalf of losing candidates.
- 29 rounds of golf, against 7 for Bush.
- And a magnificent 21 days on which Zero a did not have a public or press appearance. My, how excruciating those empty days must have been for him.
What’s not included: countless attacks on President Bush, infinite utterances of “Let me be clear” and other such oratorical banalities, and zillions of dollars redistributed to anything that destroys prosperity/life/freedom.
Although I would also have included the 1,200 self-references in the first eight months of his reign, the 170 or so parties/social events hosted by the White House as of December 2009, and the tripling of the budget deficit.

BO brings to mind a rather crass phrase that I used to hear in the Navy: “The best part of you was left on the sheets.”

We all joke about style over substance with BO, but this really proves it, doesn’t it?

Speak for yourself … I haven’t been having fun.

Hell, I could keep his schedule as long as the taxpayer was paying for my fun.

This is what happens when you elect an unproven pretentious effete ego-maniac to lead your party.
Republicans, take note: Don’t let David Brooks, Christopher Buckley or Kathleen Parker anywhere near Iowa in 2012.

Well Track, maybe the numbers don’t lie but we all know Barry does. I have a friend that is a kool aid drinker and the same things he slammed Bush about Barry has committed 10 fold. I called him out on it and he turned a blind eye to it all, saying ” I don’t know what you’re talking about.” It makes me sick to my stomach. I finally said drink some more kool aid and live blissfully while the rest of us save our Republic.

@KingShamus – you took the words right out of my mouth! Well, except I’d have had to look ‘em up and then find my thesaurus to get such a terrific list. Thank you!

He must really be confused of why talking doesn’t accomplish anything. Hey, that would make a pretty good post.

What can we expect from someone who uses a teleprompter to speak to 6th graders?

I guess this is what passes for a B+ these days. Obama should have had a couple of my teachers cause he would have been sent to detention long ago with those kinds of numbers!

..or, as the frogs (the animals, not denizens of Paris) are wont to say, “My how time is fun when you’re having flies.”
