Memory problems?

Our illustrious president yesterday: “You know, you need to talk to economists. I think I got a B in Econ 101. I got an A, however, in keeping taxes low and being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.”
Apparently his memory is mistaken. Yale records indicate that he got a C- in his introductory economics course.

Yours, on the margins,

Hello, BreadBox, Michele sent me over today. I forgot how much I enjoy reading your posts, so it was nice to get the reminder.

Of course, now I'm even later leaving for work! sigh, I'll be back later.

Hello, Michele sent me :-)
The sad thing is, I truly think he does NOT remember that, or many things, and I am not sure how he thinks he has been fiscally responsible with our taxes! Sad really. Good post :-)

LOL, some people just are too quick *wink*

Didn't pay true attention to the numbers - because they are so huge! -but you are right. So I looked for information and it seems the right number is 10 mugs pro visitor on average.
info here. unfortunately in German...but look for this sentence: (second point)Gigantisch: Für ca. 6,5 Mio. Besucher werden jedes Jahr etwa 60 Mio. Liter Bier ausgeschenkt (60 million liter for about 6.5 million visitors). Thanks for your hint. Off to update my post :)

Like many people recalling Their doings he has a selective memory.
I could tell you I got eight distinctions in School Certificate - but it wouldn't be true. Sadly:(
Michele sends her best.

I am so sick of him. I suspect that he nearly failed all his classes and only got in and out because he was a legacy. Michele sent me tonight.
