Monday in Strongsville, Ohio, President Obama said that ObamaCare will reduce health insurance premiums for businesses by “3,000 percent.” Now that’s what we call stimulus! Considering a 100% reduction would result in premiums of zero, just think how much money a business will actually make with the other 2,900%!

To Martha, Mar 22, if 3000 percent wasn't an error, then why, on page 6 of:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-health-care-reform-strongsville-ohio , does it read "fall by as much as 3,000 percent [sic],"? To what is the [sic] referring?
A reduction "by" is not the same as a reduction "of." A reduction "by" means you divide (by), ie if an employer pays $10,000, a 3000% reduction is $10,000/ 3000% = $333. In other words if they paid $333 now, they saw a 3000% reduction. A reduction "of" would be $10,000 multiplied by 3000% giving you the crazy numbers, and that wouldn’t be a reduction! It would have been simpler if he had said employers may be paying up to 3% "of" their current cost. But then what sounds more profound, 3 or 3000? After-all it is politics.
I think someone needs to go back to 3rd grade and learn his math.
Obama and the puppets that follow him are fricken idiots and have no common sence ! It goes to show you what the liberial run school systems have produced, when a chineese forth grader is more intelligent than an american twelth grader ! What a disgrace ! Bush is a brain surgeon and Clinton is a rocket scientist compared to Obama !
Yes Obamy suck in all that adoration and applause from the stupid masses in a dramatic way. You look great doing it.
What an arrogant man... BIG numbers impress people he thinks so basically he is just going to throw big numbers out there and let the people be impressed with his brilliance. It is a strategy that I don't think is working unless you are an idiot.
So exactly why is the bonehead media not making an issue of this? Just another fact butchered by the president. Tell me, how many of these constituted lying? You mean BO has no staff to factcheck anything he says?
so, there was a joke from last summer (if you remember there was a airplane crash in Brazil):
Joe Biden rushes into the Oval Office and says "Mr President, there was a terrible air accident this morning and we think over 200 Brazillians were lost"
The Pres furrows his brow and asks the VP "how many trillions in a Brazillian?"
We know obama is a fool. What’s really disturbing are those moronic imbeciles clapping as if obama said something intelligent.
What a total bonehead.
Oh my, stupid is as stupid is
Maybe this is the new math?
Another great addition to the 'If Bush had said that' file.
