O gives jobs ‘clip’ service
$447B ‘tax hike’ plan bound by chintzy fastenerWASHINGTON — President Obama’s plan to reverse the nation’s staggering jobless rate is held together with a paper clip!
‘Here it is,’ Obama said, waving a copy of his jobs plan during a ceremony in the White House Rose Garden yesterday, an enormous paper clip binding the pages together.
And not to be outdone, Steve Doocy decided to jump all over this story
DOOCY: Meanwhile, come and get your copy. President Obama’s jobs bill, hot off the presses — at Kinko’s? Hundreds of billions in tax hikes and new spending bound together with a chintzy clip. Look at that thing.
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): Right.
DOOCY: What’s that about?
KILMEADE: We’ve never had the word “chintzy” in the cold open before.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): We’re in a recession.
