Math Challenge

BARACK H. OBAMA, re-elected lame-duck President of the United States of America, delivered his State of the Union address last evening of February 12th,.  Many wondered, the 47% of the population at least, why he was re-elected with a depressed economy, same job unemployment of 7.4% when he took over, and a bloated fiscal deficit of $17 trillion plus.  One thoughtful voter told me many cows could be led by their nose even by an smart ass and a promise of free gifts as Santa Claus.

Well, may I add how smart his thinking was or is by this incident that happened in 2009:

NEWS ALERT!

A public school teacher was arrested today at JFK International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.  At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra Movement.

He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values!

They use secret code names like "X" and "Y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns" but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, the president said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

[There's always a first - another Nobel Prize in Math for Obama, math genius?] 

Obama has only 5 fingers, no wonder.
