At this point, Obama smiled and interjected, "Shovel-ready was not as ... uh .. shovel-ready as we expected." The Council, led by GE's Jeffrey Immelt, erupted in laughter.

Coldest heart on the planet, typical communist.

The only “shovel ready” is his administration like a giant steaming pile of noxious manure.

I’m sure he thinks that was a clever reply....another example of disconnect with the American people.

[excerpt linked below] "While there were plenty of creepy Twilight Zone episodes, the only one that truly scared me was “It’s a Good Life.” Written by Rod Serling and closely based on Jerome Bixby’s short story of the same name, it posited that the most terrifying thing in the world was a six-year-old child with no moral compass…and absolute power over matter and reality.

Anthony didn’t like noisy cars and machines, so he made them go away. He did away with the electricity as well. And then one day he decided that he didn’t like the rest of the world. Whether the Earth was destroyed or Peaksville merely removed from it, the town became an isolated community of dwindling supplies and fearful neighbors obliged to praise each one of Anthony’s spiteful acts as “a good thing.”

The story was unusual for The Twilight Zone in that there was no moral lesson, no twist ending, no respite. It ended as it began, with Anthony in charge. Source

Maybe next time 50 some odd percent of America won't elect a High Yella, simply because he is a High Yella.

Hah, hah, hah, ho, ho, ho, hahahaha. I'm sure the unemployed are laughing their asses off at that one. He is a funny one.

This is what you get. An affirmative action hired by the voters as President needs a long period of on the job training. I don't know if the country will survive long enough for him to learn his job.

This needs to be an ad run 24/7 by whoever the GOP nominee is.

I’m so glad the elite can have these eruptions of laughter at taxpayer expense. Excuse me while I get my rope and pitchfork...

Anthony Weiner thought he was funny too.

Now he is strapped down in a rubber room.

I believe he knows EXACTLY what he's doing.

I bet all those execs made sure to laugh harder than the guy next to him. It was the same under Stalin. If you didn’t laugh at his jokes, the joke was truly on you.
