Congratulations to President Obama!

He has achieved his goal early! The national debt stood at


$16,015,769,788,215.80

as of the end of Friday, August 31, 2012.

Your Editor, taking the averages, had projected it would cross the $16 trillion threshold on Thursday, when Barack Obama was delivering his acceptance speech to the Democrite National Convention, but the President exceeded my expectations, and got it done early.
