An atrocious jobs report was released this morning, as President Obama jaunts off to yet another campaign stop. Laser. Like. Focus.

President Obama: Hello, Golden Valley! It is good to be back in Minnesota.

One of the fifty-seven states!

Obama opens with "Prayer never hurts, it helps!" (Talking Vikings, no mention of jobs yet)

Obama talking about pie right now. Very Twin Peaks

President Obama speaking on jobs now in MN

— Sarah Boxer (@Sarah_Boxer) June 1, 2012

Follow the spin attempt from the campaigner in chief along with Twitchy. We’ll update as new remarks and on the scene tweets come in.

Update:

More laser like focus…on himself.

Obama: "I've noticed" it's an election year. Crowd starts to chant "four more years."

When it comes to creating jobs, Pres Obama says "we’ve got a lot work to do before we get to where we need to be."

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 1, 2012

Yes. The work of getting you out of office.

Obama says we can't control events in Middle East, EU — then moves to his old jobs plan and tax hikes on rich

— James Pethokoukis (@JimPethokoukis) June 1, 2012

Class warfare alert! Rich people are fine, though, if they can cough up $50,000 per plate for a fundraising dinner.

Pres Obama says "there's no excuse" for Congressonal failure to act on his proposals to promote job creation.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 1, 2012

Sigh. Tired and lame blame-gaming. Dude, the buck stops here.

Obama: Maybe they'll replace some thingamajig for their furnace….

— Ethan Klapper (@ethanklapper) June 1, 2012

Obama: If they have some money, maybe they'd buy that thing…

— Ethan Klapper (@ethanklapper) June 1, 2012

Yes, indeed, Honeywell does make furnace thingamajigs.

— Ethan Klapper (@ethanklapper) June 1, 2012

Smartest. Man. Alive.

"My message to Congress," says Pres Obama, is now is not the time to play politics or sit on our hands.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 1, 2012

Uh. He has a “to do” list and everything!

Barack the Mad returns. I wondered when he'd show up. RT @trscoop: Obama just said clean energy companies are hiring

— John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 1, 2012

Oh, dear.

Wow, this is a terrible speech, not that he has anything much else to say.

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) June 1, 2012

Pres Obama presses Congress to enact his legislative "to do list" including creation of a Veterans Jobs Corps.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 1, 2012

More “to do” list! Problems solved. Via Post-it.

Anyone who thinks Bush had anything to do with Obama's bad job report should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.

— John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 1, 2012

This includes President Obama.

Yes, Mr. President, veterans could indeed be great manufacturing workers. Why do you suppose they can't find work?

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) June 1, 2012

Pesky reasoning!

Pres Obama gives campaign-style address on the economy & job creation to workers at Honeywell plant in MN.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) June 1, 2012

Same old, same old. Who really cares about jobs when Obama has a campaign to run?!

Obama's pleading with people to buy stuff, to stimulate job creation. He STILL doesn't understand how jobs are created.

— John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 1, 2012

Has never made a payroll in his life. Plus, thinking about real life outside of an ivory tower is hard!

Pool: 1,700 attended POTUS' speech at Honeywell thingamajig factory.

Delicious snap.
