For those who missed Obama's post-NFP sermon on Friday, here is a summary of the Keynesian-in-Chief's latest plan to fix the country: $3000 for everyone to buy "thingamajigs." We wish this was a joke.

The farce gets going 25 seconds in. (Video at link)

Notice how he brightens up when the audience laughs...you can just see his ego swell and his entire stance changes as he basks in the love. He is so desperate for approval.

[KarlInOhio]

So, bereft of teleprompter, he probably meant to say “thermostat” but choked

You're going to need to turn down your thingamajig, put on your sweater, and thank the man who has just made me the second worst president in history.

Who here DOESN’T realize that Obama’s base voters will be spending this in the same place they spend the EBT/YANF money at the first of every month?

THE LOCAL CASINO?

[silverleaf]

sheesh he was talking down to the little people who work at Honeywell making those thingamajigs- you know, those things the servants use to set the temperature in your mansion

I bet the doohickey lobby is already working on getting an earmark

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Just go back to $5.00 or a bottle of whiskey to buy votes.

It's illegal and immoral to use your own money to buy votes.

——After all, he famously said, “The ERA OF BAILOUTS IS OVER!”.——

I want THE ERA OF IDIOTS TO BE OVER!

[Conservative4Ever]

Ohhh, the earrings I could have bought with the $3000 I will no longer have.

933 Billion

The scary part is that not one person in that crowd dared to yell out “Who will pay for that?” or “Where will the money come from?”. I realize that they were all hand picked koolaide drinkers but even that crowd should have been appalled at what he said.

[IbJensen]

Methinks the current, phony occupant of the White Hut may be playing with his thingamajig too much, but then what can one expect with a wookie for a wifey?

This damned Marxist fool mispeaks everytime he opens his mouth. Now I’m not so certain that the puppetmaster lurking behind the curtain is really pulling Pinnochio’s strings.

He has a mind of his own, albeit utterly worthless, but there is a mind there....someplace.

[M-cubed]

I would but....

I work hard for my money....with no help from my friends.....ask Obamy to buy u...a Mercedes Benz

2009 tax statistics (SOI)

Earned Income Tax Credit (Refundable): $53,985,190,000 on 24,920,512 returns = $2166/return

Additional Child Tax Credit (Refundable): $27,499,364,000 on 21,290,682 returns = $1292/return

Every policy of 0bama’s has amounted to a de facto racially based wealth transfer. Every one.

I figured this would be the case when I first saw the headline - sure, $3k per household, but only if you’re a “core constituent”.

And let’s not forget about the thingamabob ... much higher quality than the thingamajig. Those gotta be worth at least 10x more. They better get some good lobbyists in their corner or the market is gonna tank!

[6SJ7]

Is a thingamajig anything like a Friendly's Fishamajig, 'cause those things were tasty. $3,000 clams would buy a lot of Fishamajigs.

[silverleaf]

Want to bet the government buys thermostats for $3000?
From a minority-owned company whose owners have connections to obama fundraising, no doubt

[Babashane]

This whole thing smacks of bias against doo-dads and what-nots.

[Cowman]

Personally I prefer the Reuben melt and a Fribble but to each his own

[IamConservative]

Stick your $3000 thingamajig up your a$$.

I was wondering what a thingamajig was for. This confirms I was correct in not wanting one!
