Shhhh! No time for that silly job stuff! Obama’s got asinine metaphors to showcase:
Ends hourlong speech calling on Americans to set our eyes on the horizon search for an ocean of tomorrows, a sky of tomorrows.

Say what?
No way. This is a joke right? https://t.co/WvCqlZfRvt

He didn't say that, did he? There's vapid, and then there's this. https://t.co/qmOvQrCeeD

Oh yes he did:
America, we have made it through the worst of yesterday’s winds. And if we find the courage to keep moving forward; if we set our eyes on the horizon, we too will find an ocean of tomorrows, a sky of tomorrows – for America’s people, and for this great country that we love.
Let’s go to the videotape:
Lawdy. “Ocean of tomorrows”? Meet the mockery of today:
Casey Kasem? MT @markknoller: Ends speech calling on us to set our eyes on the horizon search for an ocean of tomorrows, a sky of tomorrows.

"Ocean of Tomorrow"??? Billy Ocean comeback tour?
— Sean Agnew (@seanagnew) July 24, 2013
Obama spoke of skies and oceans of tomorrow, but failed to mention the mountains of debt.

Whoops.
I thought he lowered the horizon of the oceans of tomorrow.
— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) July 24, 2013
Hey, yeah!
I thought the point of addressing global climate change was to prevent oceans of tomorrow.

We could’ve sworn that’s what he said before:
Make up your mind, Mr. President!
Maybe he should’ve gone with this one instead:

Teehee!
"Ocean of Tomorrows"? Great, now we're basing economic policy on 1968 Strawberry Alarm Clock albums.

Capt. John Kerry is sailing his yacht on the oceans of tomorrow right now.

Oceans of tomorrow, creeks of the past, above-ground pools of the present.

You're thinking of the Plateau of Despair. RT @Matthops82: "Oceans of Tomorrow" sounds like a failed Department of Education plan.
— Erin (@sqwerin) July 24, 2013
Seriously, how does a speechwriter type "sky full of tomorrows" without bursting into uncontrollable laughter?
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) July 24, 2013
We’re not sure, but we definitely couldn’t read it without bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
@SARosado @markknoller Tomorrows, Tomorrows Everywhere.

Carlos Danger is a pirate sailing the Ocean of Tomorrows.

Your MOM is an ocean of tomorrow, @BarackObama
— H (@Tark31) July 24, 2013
Heh.
Well, while Obama’s ridiculously flowery language has many of us scratching our heads, something tells us that this Twitterer’s on the right track:
Not sure what Obama means by "Oceans of tomorrow" but I'm guessing we're all probably going to drown in it.
