Pictres: Obama Campaign Can't Do Third-Grade Math

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:

Single:

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?

You got fooled by someplace CLAIMING to be a dollar store, didn't you?

Them thar Five-and-Dime stores of 50 years ago were tricky places, too. They had stuff that cost more than a dime.

[eyedigress]

When the penny tax came off the dime it was open season!

[C. Edmund Wright]

You spoiled my fun. I was seeing how long that would take (parody on Obots).

[FreedBird]

Many of Obama’s administration staff look like High School students.

I thought it was 40 bucks a week anyway. (that would be about a grand).

What's 40 x 52 again....?

[Venturer]

My math has always been terrible, but I do know that my CD’s are paying .10% , I know that is 10% of a penny on each dollar I have scrimped to save.

I do not know why I am saving it as inflation is eating my savings even as we speak. I also know that there is inflation even as my Government tells me there is not.

I know I am being lied to and I know that 43% of the people in this country are comfortable with those lies because thay are still backing the Lying SOB in the white House.

But then again: That 43% is not paying any taxes.so why shouldn’t they back their benefactor.

[C. Edmund Wright]

I was parodying Obots’ math (thats my story and I’m sticking to it!!!)

The Obummer calculators are actually set to 2008 campaign dollars in gold, because that is where their heads are in 2012 .

Gold in dollars in 2008 = $846
Gold in dollars in 2011 = $1700 peak

%= 200

2.00 x 40 x 12 = $960

Tell me about it! I teach 5th grade and these kids don't even know their ADDITION fact families, let alone their multiplication facts!!!!! I have already told my principal that I expect to retain several of my kids. I gave a long division test on Thurs. (1 digit divisor only!) and I got maybe 5 A's or A+’s, a couple C's and D's and the rest were F's!!! We've been on this since THANKSGIVING! I give a 1 min. timed test (multiplication) at the beginning of each math lesson and they're COUNTING ON THEIR FINGERS! The scores are abysmal. I send notes/letters home pleading with parents to get their kids flashcards and DRILL every night, most kids still don't have them. I've even taken a couple of class hours having them make flashcards so they can at least work with them in school during the day, but it's just not enough without working at home. I'm SO ready to be done with it!

There is a learning disability, called dyscalculia. It’s a number form of dyslexia, where numbers have no meaning. The kids with dyscalculia, must touch each item that they are counting. They can count just fine, but the counting doesn’t compute in their brains unless they touch the item as they say the number. if you watch them play games with dice, you’ll notice that they sometimes cannot even recognize the dots as five or six. They’ll know the ones or two and threes, but they start to stumble with higher numbers without counting them.

These are the kids who are counting on their fingers. You have to go back and teach them the concept. Use dots to represent numbers instead of numberals. Use an abacus. Some of these kids will never learn to do simple math in their heads and will never keep a check book balanced. It seem to be more and more common and yet teachers seldom recognize it.

and gone are the days of memorizing multiplication and division tables...

without a calculator they are lost, and even with one they write down whatever it says not knowing it might be off by an order of magnitude because they punched in a number wrong and have no foundation to rely on, they just write it down cause THEY and the calculator are NEVER WRONG!!!

Skip to 1:15 where Obama says your employer will save about 3000 percent on your health insurance.

It was the SIXTH grade.

Has reading so much about Obama on FR dumbed you down?

<^)

[tcrlaf]

It’s Austrian math.
A Corpseman taught him how to do it, while riding with Obama on the Intercontinental Railroad, going to Hawaii, in Asia.

Isn’t $40 a month about a $1000 a year...in foodstamps? Or will $480 a year cost us about a $1000 in additional debt servicing? FUBO!!!

[Kryn-Man]

Many of those that allegedly need this $40 for two months are the same people fighting over the chance to buy $180 Nike Air Jordan basketball shoes.

Before he was in kindergarten, my son knew multiplication tables up to 15 x 15 and could read. He grew up to get a PhD in mechanical engineering.
