Barry Soweto remarked more than once about his daughter, Malia, as being 13
years old. She's 12.

Apparently, some evil right wingers have seized on this moment to at least
report the "news". Guess it must have been a light news day.

In my mind, a man who can't keep up with his at home children's statistics
isn't doing his job as a father. And can't be trusted to handle bigger
numbers.

But then, maybe he's doing too much important stuff and got it wrong. I bet
he can count to 13 on the golf course, but applied modern math brings that
down to a par.

It's the intent that counts, dontchaknow?

The age of your children is easy to keep track of. Especially when they are
living in the household, and there are things like birthdays, and other
reminders of how old the child ACTUALLY is.

Two things are happening here. Either he is so busy with affairs of state
that he cannot be bothered with affairs of the heart. Or
.........................he's a complete imbecile when it comes to keeping
important details straight. The latter coming into play when dealing with
billions, no trillions, of dollars of other people's money.

And even in that case, a man who hasn't had a regular job in his life, and
who can't discuss finances with a businessman with one employee can't be
expected to be informed or comprehensible. After all, they're just numbers,
and those don't reflect the gut level emotion of people involved in the REAL
issues of having to pay for a house they could never afford, but got
approved by a government regulatory agency bent on "making things even", or
a banker who was hogtied to the point of borderline consciousness.

Forgive the man his weakness of small numbers. Like 12. After all, twelve
is a big number. Twelve years of age. Twelve billion dollars. Twelve
trillion dollars. What's a few zeroes.

Unless you can't count to thirteen in the first place, which should not be a
problem for the smartest man on the planet.

God help us all. And hand him another shovel. He's going to be out of
sight in the next election.

I am not the US President, but I sometimes get confused about how old my
kids are, especially near birthdays.

If this is the biggest thing that worries you about President Obama,
then I personally would not worry as much.

The future is always unclear. The prediction market Intrade gives the
estimate of his reelection chances at 57%.

You are not alone there. Also happens when the doctor or someone asks what

It looks like it was the case for Obama, too. That 12 year old
daughter turns 13 this coming Monday.

As much as I dislike BHO, I can't fault him for that. I can't remember
either of my kid's birthdays, and I have to do the math to figure how
old they are.
Doesn't mean I love 'em any less. And it doesn't mean I'm a liberal
democrat either

And, of course, checking the facts before shooting off your mouth is out
of the question, because he already Knows All, being our Glorious Beloved
Infallible Saviour.

Just think of the 19 states we would have lost, had he visited

Heck, my mom used to mix up our names. Strangely she has gotten better at not doing that
as she has aged.

I'll go back to marking threads ignore now.
