Barack Obama -- By The Numbers


8 - The maximum level of unemployment predicted by the Obama administration if the $787 billion stimulus package was approved.

17.5 - The current national under-employment rate (U-6), which some experts believe represents a real unemployment rate of 22%.

26 - The number of times President Obama used the word "I" in a 46-sentence speech in Copenhagen during his pursuit of the Chicago Olympic Games.

27 - The average number of weeks that a job-seeker requires in order to find a new job. This is the highest number ever recorded.

33 - The number of unelected, unconfirmed 'Czars' serving in the Obama administration.

57 - The number of states that candidate Obama said that he had visited or hoped to visit.

1400 - The number of times President Obama used the word "I" in his first 41 speeches.

10,000 - The number of tragic deaths caused by a tornado in Kansas, according to Barack Obama (the actual death toll was 12).

50,000 - The number of troops requested by Gen. Stanley McChrystal in order to launch a "surge" against the Taliban and Al Qaeda. After months of dithering, President Obama has yet to make a decision.

3,500,000 - The number (3.5 million) of jobs lost since President Obama took office while he and Democrats in Congress have concentrated on nationalizing health care and enacting new energy taxes.

$18,000,000 - The amount that the White House spent redesigning the 'recovery.gov' website, ostensibly to help prevent 'wasteful' stimulus spending.

88,000,000 - The number (88 million) of Americans that would be forced out of their current private insurance plans into a government-run 'public option' plan, according to a study by the Lewin Group.

$1,400,000,000,000 - The size ($1.4 trillion) of President Obama's first budget deficit, which tripled the previous year's level. This represents $4,666 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

$1,600,000,000,000 - The amount ($1.6 trillion) of President Obama's national health care program, an underestimate according to most experts.

$18,700,000,000,000 - The total U.S. budget deficit in 2019, based upon the CBO's 'optimistic' expectations. This represents $62,333 -- that must be repaid with interest -- for every man, woman and child in the country.

$73,000,000,000,000 - The unfunded liabilities ($73 trillion) of the government-run health care programs Medicare and Medicaid. This represents roughly $125,000 for every person in the country. While the House version of ObamaCare creates 111 new agencies, offices, bureaus, directorships and other government entities, it doesn't even attempt to address this oncoming economic trainwreck.

Unknown - Because President Obama has chosen not to release his SAT, LSAT, or his GPA scores, these numbers are unknown.
