El milagro Obama

 Reproduzco íntegramente este email que me ha llegado, en inglés, sobre los milagros de Obama desde que lleva en el poder.
El email comienza con algo así como:
"Se nos prometió Esperanza y Cambio. Olvidaté de la Esperanza...
Después de dos años de Obama... ¡Aquí está vuestro cambio!"

Algunos números impactantes que da el email son:
- Crecimiento del número de parados de larga duración (desde que fue elegido presidente): 146.2 %

- Crecimiento del precio del crudo (el West TX Inter.): 135.9 %

- Crecimiento del precio de la caña de azúcar: 164.7 %
- Crecimiento del precio del maíz: 78.1 %
- Crecimiento del precio de la soja: 42.3 %
- Crecimiento de la deuda nacional americana: 32.2 %

We were promised Hope and Change.  Forget about hope....

After two years of Obama ...Here's your change!

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation's history.  Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane.   27 times faster, it would be doing 1,755 MPH!

THE PRESIDENCY

SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT.

HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.  

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 24 months -- so you'll have one year and ten months to come up with an answer.

Every statement in this email is factual and directly attributable to Barrack Hussein Obama. Every bumble is a matter of record and completely verifiable.

Un abrazo.

Mr D.
