Facts

Show reasoning

I followed this chain of reasoning:

By calculation (generator: ["now@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
The current time is February 14th 2012, 20:43:20

I know from locally stored knowledge that:
Fact 1: Barack Obama is a US president ([fact: ["163563762@trueknowledge.com"]])

Fact 1 is true for January 20th 2009, 17:01 onwards ([fact: ["163568274@trueknowledge.com"]])

By calculation (generator: ["timeperiodtopoint@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 1 is true at February 14th 2012, 20:43:20

I know from locally stored knowledge that:
Fact 2: Barack Obama is the result of the position class and ordering forty-fourth, US president and single member ordering with repetition ([fact: ["166448602@trueknowledge.com"]])

Fact 2 is true for February 9th 2009, 00:00:00 onwards ([fact: ["166542822@trueknowledge.com"]])

By calculation (generator: ["timeperiodtopoint@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 2 is true at February 14th 2012, 20:43:20

By calculation (generator: ["second_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
US president is the second parameter of forty-fourth, US president and single member ordering with repetition

By calculation (generator: ["first_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
forty-fourth is the first parameter of forty-fourth, US president and single member ordering with repetition

By calculation (generator: ["strictequal1@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
forty-fourth, US president and single member ordering with repetition is strictly equal to forty-fourth, US president and single member ordering with repetition

By calculation (generator: ["first_parameter@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
44 is the first parameter of forty-fourth

By calculation (generator: ["difference@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
43 is the difference of 44 and 1

I know from locally stored knowledge that:
Fact 3: George W. Bush is the result of the position class and ordering forty-third, US president and single member ordering with repetition ([fact: ["135614847@trueknowledge.com"]])

Fact 3 is true for the beginning of time onwards ([fact: ["135614848@trueknowledge.com"]])

By calculation (generator: ["timeperiodtopoint@trueknowledge.com"]) I know that:
Fact 3 is true at February 14th 2012, 20:43:20

Barack Obama has been a US president since January 20th 2009, 17:01
