"It's a recession. I'm not gonna name names, but, uh, let's just say there's a new President. Right? No? Played that wrong? Blaming Obama for this? That's not going over so well. No, I'm kidding. That was a joke. Please, that was a joke. I promise you, I voted for Obama." -- Tom, selecting a poor time to insert a fake political rant into the proceedings
