I'm finding this as hard to believe as you are, folks, but I'm actually feeling a little sympathy for our dunderhead of a president.
WTF???
Well, apparently, during a press conference about providing relief for some mortgage holders, he very clearly and precisely gave out a toll--free number for people to call. Unfortunately, he gave out the wrong number.
Normally, I would be laughing at him and saying, Well, what more do you expect? A bright bulb he is not. But this is exactly the kind of mistake I could make, and so I actually feel a little sorry for him. He said 1-800 instead of 1-888, and for those of us old enough to remember when "800-number" equaled toll-free, it's easy to understand how he did it.
Huffington Post is all over it, of course, and if you want the full story, read this.

WTF?!? is right. No sympathy for that piece of shit. He created the damn
mortgage crisis in the first place with his neoCON economic policies. Of
course I mean this in the nicest possible way secret service personnel :).
settle, settle. i've not turned into a bush sympathizer. i just felt kind
of bad for him in this one instance--just this once. i promise never to do
it again! : )
I think the number was on purpose and that pretty soon people who called
needing relief (not the republican elite) will slowly die off... don't be
surprised if a spate of unexplained strange "accidental" deaths occur in
the poorer parts of our countries...
Where's your eye-rollin' icon???
