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

I sure hope those thingamajigs are ADA-compliant.
