The President at one of his fake town hall meetings had this question and answer session with someone who was supposed to be helping him advocate for his Social Security Plan. I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry:

THE PRESIDENT: Let me ask you something about the Thrift Savings Plan. This is a Thrift Savings Plan that has a mix of stocks and bonds?

MS. WEBSTER: Yes, sir.

THE PRESIDENT: Now, how hard was that to learn how to do that?

MS. WEBSTER: And I chose the safe plan, government bonds. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: That’s all right. Well, not so safe, unless we fix the deficit.

Is that supposed to be funny? I mean, it kind of is, but not for the reason I think he thinks it is…
