The below compendium is just a sample (or a smidgen in Obama terminology).

When asked why his trillion-dollar stimulus produced far fewer “shovel ready jobs” than he promised to urgently promote its passage, Barack Obama laughed off the issue: “Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.” The laughter will be little solace for taxpayers on the hook to pay back the debt that financed that union-enriching boondoggle.

When asked about the risk of terrorism arising from his abandoning Iraq, he flippantly dismissed these concerns by comparing the resurgent Al Qaeda to a “Jayvee team” that “puts on Lakers uniforms… that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.” His flippancy -- his lack of concern and interest in dealing with Islamic terrorism -- has led to the rise of what has become the richest terror group in the world.

When critics asked why Iran will be allowed to import and export weapons since that was not part of the original deal, Kerry responded that that concession was “thrown in as an Add-On” to the Iran deal. “Thrown In” — yes, why not ad a cherry to the top of that sundae?

Flippancy is no substitute for policy and should not be used to shield officials from responsibility for their failures.

This fool just added 1 trillion of debt to be paid by our children and grandchildren. What was funny about that? Now we will be stuck with years of deflation.
