You Know, as in "The Meteor Gyrated to Earth"

Via Jake Tapper: "Obama said he wasn't focused on 'the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market, but the long-term ability for the United States and the entire world economy to regain its footing.' He compared the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a daily tracking poll in politics. 'You know, it bobs up and down day to day,' he said. 'And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong.'"

For those of you who haven't seen one, here's what a "gyration" looks like:

    You can bet when the bobs are more up than down our economist in chief will take credit for it, like 'the day the oceans stopped rising'.

    True, Retread, but he needs a bob or two from the market first. In the meantime, his line is "Don't fret children, daddy will take care of everything."

    What. A. Loser.

    And we haven't even hit the 100 Day mark. Even Jimmy Carter took longer to hit the really steep slopes on his downhill run.

    Not much longer, mind you. But longer than The Won™.

    Well at least we can dance to it, or he can apparently.

    And we can laugh - Ed Kennedy's been knighted! Sir Ted of the Round (and well laid) Table, who said Camelot was over?

    Vice-President Biden demonstrates the nuanced Obama Administration approach to market gyrations.

    You don't mess around with Joe.
