Obama Economic Plan: Go Buy A Thingamajig
2012-06-05
Posted by:Beavis

#13  He's in a thermostat plant surrounded by 50,000 boxes saying "THERMOSTAT", and he calls them thingamajigs. He's either totally stupid or a really condescending SOB. Most likely the latter, I've often seen bosses make light of the productive workers this way.

#12  Oh I see. It was that chukkkling Booosh and his vampire colloquialism who stole Dear Reader's ability to communicate! Uncle Hole in One would love to use proper terms like widgets, or a stream like, "Get a doodad for your whatzit and fix the doohickey with a thingamajig."

Rooooovvve!

#11  I went out and did my part. Bought a thingamajig for my furnace that I had been putting off. So far it hasn't changed the unemployment rate and the thingamajig was made in China anyway.

#9  Perhaps it's the angle, but those folks in the photo behind Obama look a bit like zombies?

#4  I thought Obama was the thingamajig America bought four years ago after the usual massive orchestrated media blitz (But, wait there's more...). Now it's time for a product recall due to defects and deficits in its performance.

#2  Many 'thingamajigs' for furnaces are scams.

#1  Sounds like he knows a lot more about economics than he did when he wandered into office.
