Stumped? Obama Dodges Question on Economy, Defers to Advisors GOVERNMENT

when a reporter approached him after the teleprompters were turned off, the President was at a loss for words.

Politico reports:

After reading his prepared remarks on the economy at a window manufacturer on Friday, President Obama sought to take some photos with workers when a pool reporter caught up with him and asked him to explain the connection between the drop in the unemployment rate and the lower-than-expected number of jobs added in December.

Obama’s response, according to the pool:

“You know, you’ve got to talk to Austan Goolsbee. That’s his job.”

Obama then posed for some photos.
