Not His Job

President Obama said yesterday that he will offer GM and Chrysler taxpayer-funded aid, which he said will be unveiled in a couple of days. The Washington Post reported that he has discovered some newfound responsibilities in his job description:

"I know that it is not popular to provide help to autoworkers -- or to auto companies -- but my job is to measure the costs of allowing these auto companies just to collapse," he said.

As my colleague Roy Cordato said recently, I wish he'd go back to his other responsibilities like basketball predictions.
