CBS' amazing number cruncher Mark Knoller reports, the national debt was $10,626,000,000,000. That means the debt that our federal government owes a whole lot of somebodies including China has increased $4,247,000,000,000 in just 945 days. That's the fastest increase under any president ever. Remember the day the Democrat promised to close the embarrassing Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility within one year? That day the national debt increased $4,247,000,000. And each day since that the facility hasn't been closed. Same for the day in 2009 when Obama flew all the way out to Denver to sign the $787 billion stimulus bill that was going to hold national unemployment beneath 8% instead of the 9.1% we got today anyway? Another $4,247,000,000 that day. And every day since, even Obama golfing and vacation days. Same sum for the day Obama flew Air Force One nearly four hours roundtrip to Columbus, Ohio for a 10-minute speech about how well the stimulus was working in the politically crucial Buckeye state. Ohio's unemployment rate just jumped to 9% from 8.8% anyway.

The only thing growing faster than the national deficit is Obama's nose. Can you believe this man claims to have delivered us from the brink of financial disaster? So what does he call this economy? The only way the unemployment numbers will subside is if the unemployed completely give up and stop filing. If they'll just give up their numbers won't count anymore and bureaucrats will claim the unemployment rate is improving. Hell...maybe that's what we need, a few more lies so we can pretend to feel better about the job Obama is doing.
