Obama’s Job Strategy Will Be Disappointingly Unfun

During a town-hall meeting about job creation in Allentown, Pennsylvania, today, President Obama was asked by a college sophomore if he would consider legalizing prostitution, marijuana, and gambling to help spur job growth. “I appreciate the boldness of your question," Obama responded, to giggles. "That will not be my jobs strategy." Thanks a lot, Schoolmarm Obama. [Politico 44/Politico]
