Obama's Math Skills

Robert Gibbs, President Obama's Press Secretary, just a couple of weeks ago said that $8,000,000,000 (8 billion) in earmarks is a miniscule amount. He made this statement defending President Obama's Earmark spending!

Now... Gibbs is trying to convince Americans that $100,000,000 (100 million) is a huge amount of money! This statement being made to defend his boss, (President Obama) and the $100 million Obama is cutting from the federal budget!

For Politicians, let me make this simple... 8,000,000,000 divided by 100,000,000 equals 80! So, lets see, $8 billion is 80 times more than $100 million!

Hummmm... Obama, if in your opinion $8 Billion is minuscule. What term should we apply to $100 Million?

Obama cutting $100 Million from a $4,000,000,000,000 ($4 Trillion) budget compares to a person making $80,000 dollars a year not buying a $2 coke and trying to convince the world he has preformed the biggest cost savings event in history!
