It's just numbers

Mr. Obama has said, "I won . . .", and he did. But how did he win?

Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29

Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

Yes, Mr. Obama won, but what did he win?

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, adds to these "numbers" by stating, "In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare" . . .

Thus Mr. Obama's administration's attempts to criminalize hard work, success, ethics, morals, and the American Way -- obviously not characteristics of his consituency.

"If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. "

Let's take even a deeper dive into these "numbers".

TOP 10 POVERTY CITIES

This has got to be one of the greatest American tragedies and was forwarded to me by one of my die-hard liberal friends, who is now beginning to see the light:

What do the top 10 cities with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

  1. Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961;
  2. Buffalo , NY (2nd)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1954;
  3. Cincinnati , OH (3rd)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1984;
  4. Cleveland , OH (4th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1989;
  5. Miami , FL (5th)...has never had a Republican mayor;
  6. St. Louis , MO (6th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1949;
  7. El Paso , TX (7th)...has never had a Republican mayor;
  8. Milwaukee , WI (8th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1908;
  9. Philadelphia , PA (9th)...hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1952;
  10. Newark , NJ (10th)...hasn't elect ed a Republican mayor since 1907.
When you add Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Boston and Los Angeles to these cities, all you can say is "Welcome to Washington, Mr. Obama. What a great electorate you have. "

We'll see you in 2012. Buckle up for 2010.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'

It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats --- yet they are still disadvantaged.

Opinion: The Disadvantaged remain disadvantaged because they are looking for a Liberal Democratic Government to give them something, when all they have to do is work for it. They have what they've wished for today - a Liberal Democratic Government. In four years, they will still be disadvantaged. (How can a person be 5th generation & disadvantaged in this country?)

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free".

~ Ronald Wilson Reagan


The mind boggles at the size of the debt President Obama will foist upon Americans as he implements his spending plans. These funds, our tax money, and that of all our future tax-paying family, will be seized and given to parties approved by the President and Congress.

As a reformed math major, I'm always trying to compute the relativity of things. What if, instead, Mr. Obama decided to charter some Boeing 747s and fly over the population, shoveling out the ten trillion dollars in $20 bills? How many Boeing 747s would that take?

One million dollars in $20 bills weighs approximately 110 pounds. Then:

$ 1,000,000 weighs 110 pounds,

$ 1,000,000,000 weighs 110,000 pounds,

$ 1,000,000,000,000 weighs 110,000,000 pounds,

$ 10,000,000,000,000 weighs 1,100,000,000 pounds.

A fully-fueled 747-400 has a take-off cargo capacity of approximately 266,000 pounds.

Therefore, it would take 4,135 Boeing 747s to dump ten Trillion dollars over the population.

Can you fathom this? Visualize loading 4,135 of the 747s with $20 bills and shoveling it out.

There have only been 1412 Boeing 747s built as of February 2009 according to Wikipedia.

Does the government think that we are that stupid to accept this?

Are you thinking? How does this work for you? Are you angry yet?

Update:William C. Schwerin writes:

You could actually cover Delaware with $20 bills. Here's the math:

A $20 bill is ~6.6cm x 15.65cm = 103.3 sq.cm = 0.01033 sq.meters.

There are 500-billion $20-bill in $10-trillion; enough to cover 5.165-billion sq. meters.

The area of the state of Delaware is ~1954 sq. miles or 5.06-billion sq. meters.

So, subtracting the area of Delaware from the area covered by $10-trillion still leaves us with enough $20-bills to cover 105-million sq. meters.

105-million sq. meters divided by 0.01033 sq. meters per $20 gives us "only" 10.17-billion $20-bills or $203-billion (give or take a bit of round-off).

I first thought of paving Cook County, in Illinois, but this could "only" use $8.2-trillion.

Repaving Delaware might not be a bad use for the $$....think what it would do for tourism.

Repaving Cook County might not be a bad idea either but it probably wouldn't lower their local taxes.

Another use might be to simply give a check to every person living in the US for $329,000. Let me repeat that number, $3 2 9, 0 0 0. But then, we probably wouldn't spend it wisely -- so we give it to Mr. Obama and Timothy Franz Geithner to spend it for us. Are we brain dead?????

How can we visualize Mr. Obama's budget? American Thinker offers some help.

Can you picture it now? Maybe this will help.
