@BobbyJindal SICK BURN!

As we’ve been informed by the White House, President Obama tends to learn what’s going on in the world (especially administration scandals) from the newspaper or cable news, and finds out about major events at the same time the rest of us do. So it’s perfectly fair for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to wonder if anyone’s informed the president that the national debt has now hit $18 trillion.
.@bobbyjindal .@barackobama Only if the Big 3, CNN or MSNBC announce it tonight.

@BobbyJindal @BarackObama he'll find out when he watches the news later. Apparently he finds out about a lot that way.

@BobbyJindal @BarackObama He'll hear it on the news like always!

@BobbyJindal Unless he sees it on the #News, @BarackObama's #ignorance of it will remain in force.

@BobbyJindal He'll hear about it when the crack news division at #MSNBC report on it. Can you say "Never"?

@BobbyJindal @TrishLaird @BarackObama 0-bozo will only find out if MSLSD happens to discuss it on the MadCow show. Otherwise over his head.

@BobbyJindal Why would POTUS care what our current National Debt was?!?

@BobbyJindal @BarackObama The President doesn't have time for those details.
