Obama Proclaims April the Month to Teach Young People ‘How to Budget Responsibly’

"Together, we can prepare young people to tackle financial challenges -- from learning how to budget responsibly to saving for college, starting a business, or opening a retirement account....

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2013 as National Financial Capability Month. I call upon all Americans to observe this month with programs and activities to improve their understanding of financial principles and practices." -- Presidential Proclamation -- National Financial Capability Month, 2013 | The White House

He has absolutely no sense of irony.

Obama is doing what he has always done, tweaking the republicans/conservatives. He knows how to push buttons and anger republicans. He is toying with you because he knows he can.

"What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core."
