Ah, a question from John Boehner! Time for a zinger:
After embarking on a record spending binge that’s left us deeper in debt, where are the jobs? #AskObama
Seriously? That’s all we got? Here’s Obama’s answer, via “The Fix” blog:
“This is a slightly skewed question,” Obama says. He then adds that he inherited a terrible economy and notes that 2 million jobs have been created in the private sector. This is the fine line Obama has to walk now and through the 2012 election. He has to highlight the optimistic signs — such as there are — about the economy, while acknowledging that things are not better for lots and lots of Americans.
Another thing worth noting about the Twitter town hall is that the crowd in the room is decidedly friendly. People appear willing to give Obama the benefit of the doubt. When he ends his Boehner answer by saying he hopes Boehner will come around to seeing things his way, Obama gets laughs.
What a waste of time.
