Here is video of Obama's economic adviser Austan Goolsbee doing a comedy routine at the Improv.

He joked about how they referenced Marxist ideology in deciding what to do with the economy when they came to power in January. He also referred to Sarah Palin as a "Wingnut."

He also joked about Sen. Ben Nelson being a "Benedict Arnold," and "stabbing them in the back."

He attacked Fox News as the place for people who don't know what they are doing.

He also joked about himself being the "future Fed Chair." He compared Obama to "Jimmy Carter" and "Millard Fillmore." . . . (VIDEO)

“He attacked Fox News as the place for people who don’t know what they are doing.”

Is “Fox News” code for “The White House” now?

Trojan Kenyan Horse. Obama wasn't joking.

Does anyone else have a problem with a future fed chair doing stand up?

He compared Obama to "Jimmy Carter" and "Millard Fillmore."
Sadly, that's an insult to Jimmah "My name is Earl" Carter and Millard Fillmore.

This guy sounds like the old SNL routine "subliminal man", he's telling the truth under his breath.
