Our debt when he took office was $10(.62) Trillion. It is now at $15.67T.
Double means to multiply by two. Ten times two is twenty. You follow me here? Sixteen does not equal twenty.
How about this, from the Congressional Budget Office Data.

Again, wrong. Standard & Poors confirmed that it was "the chorus of default doubters in the GOP that spooked them into downgrading U.S. Credit Rating."

Unemployment has been over 8% for over 32 months straight under his watch and has gone up again this last month....TRUE FACT!
Number one, the President does not have any direct influence over the economy. Congress does. But don't let reality slip into your mind. Before he took office, we were losing on average 700,000 jobs a month. Why? Because their were tax incentives to ship jobs overseas from Bush. We have had over 24 months of job increases. Now I know you hate math, but maybe you can catch up here.
The US population is: 311,591,917 (according to the U.S. Census Bureau.)
Now let's say jobs are up 150,000.
Now exactly how much of 311M is 150K? Let me make it easier for you. Let's cut off the last three digits.
311,591,917 --> 311,591.
000,150,000 --> 000,150.
Now let's say that you divide the jobs by population to see the percentage difference.
... 150,000 = ... 150
----------- = ------- = ~0.004 (in our favor)
311,591,917 = 311,591
Now are you going to see that kind of increase noted on a scale that only accepts one digit behind the decimal? Why? Because it is slow, but at least it is steady over how we were going from losing 700,000 jobs to gaining 150,000 jobs.
... 700,000 = ... 700
----------- = ------- = ~0.001 (against us)
311,591,917 = 311,591
Now the last time we were on a loss it was 27,000 jobs back in September 2010. Since then we have been on an increase.

Number two, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics have shown that we are down in unemployment, 7.8-9% to be exact. If you stopped watching nothing but Fox News you might actually get some news. Kind of sad when Comedy Central viewers are better informed than a supposed News Channel right?

He also has the Most ever on welfare & food stamps than any other president...TRUE FACT!
Number one, the GOP propaganda that you are probably relying on as evidence with the supposed "100 million" is actually 4.4 million on food stamps. If you bothered to read the fine print of the propaganda, they admit that if one person in a household gets any benefit like Medicaid or Veteran's Benefits they conclude that the entire family is in on it. Now what exactly do they qualify as "welfare"?
× Medicare (people over 65 who have limited income because some asswipe took their savings? Or maybe because medical costs have skyrocketed.)
× Medicaid (people who are too poor to be able to afford any health services. Fuck them right? Suckers working on McD's all their lives.)
× Children's Health Insurance Program. (No wait, only fetuses should be guaranteed health. Fuck those born ones, let em defend for themselves.)
× Education funding: Head Start, Boys & Girls Club, etc.)
× Higher Education funding: Pell Grants, Assistance, FASAA. (Nah fuck them, they don't need an education, flipping burgers is good enough.)
× Women, Infants, and Children (nah, instead fuck them. Let them starve to death.)
× Child and Adult Care Food Program. (repeat above but for seniors. Who needs 'em, right?)
× Housing and Community Development. (Fuck it, they should all live in slums with no ability to get out of their.)
Number two, the reason Welfare is up is because people have had their jobs outsourced or eliminated entirely. Meanwhile corporations are raking in the highest profits ever, and CEOs and executives are taking home bonuses because they found a way to weasel someone out of a job. But economic disparity is a hoax to you.
Number three, we have an increasing population. In 2001 there was 285 million people, we are now at 311 million. Since math isn't your strong suit. That is an increase of 26 million people.

Continually wrong. His campaign made 508 promises.
He kept 38% (193)
He compromised 16% (81)
He broke 17% (86)
He has in the works 20% (101)
He has had stalled 9% (45)
Now let us move that into order of execution and failure.
Executed: Kept, Compromised, In The Works.
Failure: Broke, Stalled.

Except he never actually said "redistribution of wealth." He said that everyone should pay their fair share back. But you guys love that knee jerk reaction. It makes you feel so warm and fuzzy to be the ones "wronged." Why should the top 1% of the population only pay a fraction back to the nation and economy that got them where they were? Please tell me exactly why a multimillionaire should only pay 14% taxes when you and the majority of people are paying rates of almost 24-29%.

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropiate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by the Local, State, and Federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way back out the door I deposit any mail I may have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the Public School.
After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the State and Local building codes and Fire Marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the Local Police Department.
I then log on to the Internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.corm and fox naux forums about how Socialism in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

Ah yeah, all those people working two shifts a day, eight hours a week to bring back only $30K. Sacrificing all their time. Just so they can barely scrape by on minimum wage.

Except none of those are facts. Those are wild assertions with no actual evidence or grasp of the reality. And on top of that, every assertion you have made is the exact opposite of reality. Thank you for being the perfect manifestation of why have so many problems as we do today.
