Exploding!

Did anybody else's head explode today while listening to President Obama's press conference today. The whoppers this man tells, he obviously thinks we are stupid and can't look around us and see what is really going on in this country under his administration. The nerve of this guy, geez!

Obama Defends Handling of Economy, Acknowledges Voter Frustration

And yet he blames the situation on the previous economy when actually it is the Democrats who have controlled the House and the Senate since 2006. He plays fast and loose with the job growth numbers during the Bush Administration. I don't know how he calculated the growth from 2001-2008, but I am pretty sure he averaged all the numbers per year to get the slowest job growth since after World War II, or whatever it was he claimed. As I recall, job growth was considerable until 2006, and then we lost millions of jobs in 2008, offsetting what we had gained previously. This is why it is important our students understand mathematics and statistics!
