Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke addresses the slow pace of U.S. economic growth during a C-SPAN appearance, citing "headwinds" in the housing and financial sectors. The hosts mock Bernanke's delivery and his use of the term "headwinds" as a vague excuse for persistent economic stagnation.
Obama Gaffe Regarding Tough Headwinds and Responsibility
During a speech in Toledo, President Obama appeared to stumble over the phrase "tough headwinds," instead saying "tough Ted wins." The speech emphasized a version of the American dream centered on working hard, acting responsibly, and retiring with dignity. The hosts mock the phrasing and the production quality of the official address, suggesting the President's message essentially tells citizens to "shut up and work."
