When the only tool you have is a hammer you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Or something.

He’s not an American, so what would he know about American idioms?

The real saying is “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” He tortured that to pieces.

Of course it's not a saying.

Heck, it's not even a proper complete sentence

The saying, with attribution to it's originator is:

“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”
~ Abraham Maslow (1908-70), American psychologist

Obama, of course, can be excused for making this error of misunderstanding as a hammer is a tool used to do work.

Given that Mr Obama has never done a real days work of any sort in his entire life, much less real hard work using a hammer, the confusion is understandable.........

...I really wanted to continue upon this obviously sarcastic and witty reply but I just can't take it anymore

I have to say it

This guy is dumb, real dumb. And incompetent to boot.

The people that surround him must be really, really dumb to allow him to do such stupid things in a public forum. And unprofessional as well And incompetent.

His whole time as President has can best be characterized as one big tragic and malevolent farce.

Nero only managed to burn down Rome and reputedly made beautiful music as he fiddled while Rome burned

Obama has managed to turn the entire world , including the United States, into one huge, fast moving wild fire. And there is no beautiful music to provide the slightest bright note to end on, all we get is out of deal is crappy golf swing and 100+ strokes at 18 holes on his best quality day on the golf course.

Oh well, one thing you can say about the Preezy what he lacks in quality, he makes up in quantity

I guess he views the Military has a hammer; albeit, the best hammer that sees every problem as a nail.

You mean the best government check doesn’t solve every problem? So why then does he always throw money at a problem to solve it?
