Those may not be verbatim quotes, but they’re close enough. After two years it appears that damn near everything is above the President’s pay grade.
Politico reports the latest incident of the President voting present:
After reading his prepared remarks on the economy at a window manufacturer on Friday, President Obama sought to take some photos with workers when a pool reporter caught up with him and asked him to explain the connection between the drop in the unemployment rate and the lower-than-expected number of jobs added in December.
Obama’s response, according to the pool:
“You know, you’ve got to talk to Austan Goolsbee. That’s his job.”
Obama then posed for some photos.
Ok, well, at least he knows what he’s good at.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen...
Beans don't burn on the grill...
[sarcasm]
That construction worker is obviously racist.
[/sarcasm]
Doesn't the new iPhone have the Presidential App? He should get one of those.
I'm sure if he had 4G he would be up to speed and would no longer have to use the "above my paygrade" excuse.
He'd probably using ATT and with their service woes, he'd be getting about as much info as he is getting now XD
Could we PLEASE have the dumb president back?
You have the dumb president.
The one we had before? I never thought he was dumb myself - though the media tried to tell me that fact, time and time again.]
But me being at this site should tell you what *I* think of the media, so there ya go.
What the...
He's the freakin' preasident of the USA. YeahI guess I wouldn't expect Obama to know anything about jobs...
"He’s the freakin’ president of the USA. Yeah I guess I wouldn’t expect Obama to know anything about jobs…"
Or lemonade stands...
I can't believe he never played Lemonade Stand on the Apple IIe in school...sheez.
Explains *so* much. Bet he never died of dysentery on the Oregon Trail either...
So.... basically he phones his work in or I guess teleprompters his work in? pathetic.
KQ, I think he does it via the same as his 'daily devotionals'...his CrackBarry.
He can do it whenever he feels like it, no one can bug him or he can forward it to someone to do it for him. He has proven time and again he is lazy...he let Pelosi and Reid mold the ObamaCare bill because he couldn't be bothered with it AND because he spent so little time in his Senate chair, he really is clueless about how DC works. All he knows is the Chicago Way, which is why his reelection committee will be HQ there and Bill Daley is taking Rahm's job...gotta grease the Machine for 2012!
Smartest man ever to hold the office my A$&!
