Obama’s Real Change You Can Believe In

Saving pennies to spend billions of dollars is Obama’s real Change you can believe in. The following video is a excellent way to visualize Obama’s $100 million cut in his $3.55 trillion budget…

Did Obama discover pennies raining from heaven?
The President found his fortune’s fallin’ all over the town,
By making sure that his umbrella is upside down.

“You can feel the Change coming all across America.”

Looking for some Loose Change…

The Pennies in the Video represent:

5 pennies = $2 billion dollars
and
8,880 pennies = $3.552 trillion dollar budget which does not include the $787 billion Stimulus Package and the $83 billion for the Iraq War.

$100 million ($100,000,000) divided by $3.5 trillion ($3,500,000,000,000) equals 0.00002857 times 100 equals a 0.00285743% Change in the Budget (almost 350 times smaller than 1%).

“$100 million here, $100 million there, pretty soon even in Washington it adds up to real money.” -President Obama, April 20, 2009

The Swine Flu Scare: Eight days later, Obama requested $1.5 billion to fight the Porky Pig Pandemic.

$1.5 billion ($1,500,000,000) is 15 times more than what Obama is seeking to save in 90 days.

Obama will save us $100 million in order to spend $1.5 billion…
Now that is real Change you can really believe in.
