As Twitchy reported earlier, the Smartest Man Alive was floundering during a campaign stop when he had to talk about jobs. Jobs are hard! So is common sense and reality, evidently. President Obama said that Americans need to buy more “thingamajigs” and stuff and things and such. To make jobs. Or something.
What, no thingamabobs? Bob-ist.
Hush with your worry about the abysmal jobs report and the worsening economy, people. Just go buy some thingamajigs already! Maybe buy some widgets to inflate your tires, too. We guess President Obama forgot that sometimes, at a certain point, you’ve earned enough thingamajigs.
Twitter was at the ready to mock the absurdity. Mock like the wind.

I hope Congress investigates Obama's holdings in thingamajig stocks.

Obama has finally laid out his vision for the country. Buy "thingamajigs" http://t.co/HYBi7XBu

Of course Obama referenced thingamajigs. Michelle doesn't want us buying (or eating) Whatchamacallits.

Today is National Thingamajigs Day. Buy a Thingamajig & support President Barack Obama's Economic Plan of Thingamajigs for America. #tcot

Obama forgot to mention that #thingamajigs are now manufactured in China.

@jimgeraghty I was in the market for large-size #thingamajigs but some jackass banned them for my own good

I wonder, did Solyndra make thingamajigs?

Thingamajigs – they're why Al Qaeda hates us.

I sure hope those thingamajigs are ADA-compliant.

More, please, Twitter. Dear Obama: We can see November from this thingamajig.
Update: And #thingamajig is trending.
If George Bush had ever said "Go buy a #thingamajig" when discussing economic policy, leftists would have called for impeachment.

Obama's special favortism of the #thingamajig industry is just one more example of government interference in the free-market.

The Obama Admin will be releasing its 5-Year Plan for Green #Thingamajig Innovation. If only we were mining enough absurdium…

The #Thingamajig, like the ATM, takes jobs away from real people. #ObamaEconomics

Thinking a #thingamajig connects to a furnace sounds more like something Biden would say. I've never seen a thingamajig on a furnace.

My imported #thingamajig cost less and gets better mileage

Obama's #thingamajig #UnexpectedlyDowngraded

Typical one percenter. Not everyone's furnace comes with a thingamajig. Mine runs on whatchamacallits, you elitists.

Update: Humorless Mediaite author upset that conservatives are having fun at precious Obama’s expense.
