18. More on that expensive Paris dinner bullshit: dollar up 9.3% vs. Euro since Obama became president

[font color = blue]>>I got a financial newsletter talking about how Obama and Yellen have destroyed the
dollar. And how dinner in Paris is so expensive for an American because of the decline of the dollar. Yeah, right <<.[/font]

Euro to US Dollar:
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/Currency/EURUSD?countrycode=US
1/19/2001: no data 1/20/2009: 1.3069 1/5/15: 1.1957 -- translates to an increase of 9.30% in the number of Euros a dollar buys

And I saw yesterday this headline:
Euro hits 9-year low on eurozone worries, falling oil, AFP, 1/5/15
http://news.yahoo.com/euro-hits-9-low-eurozone-worries-falling-oil-001036456.html

(The Euro of course is the currency of Paris and France)
