After President Obama made some of the most interesting comments of his career at a Georgetown University panel on poverty Tuesday, I worried that the only thing liberals would take from the event was that Obama accused Fox News of calling poor Americans "sponges" and "leeches."

But now I have another theory. Is it possible that Obama, playing a game of eleventy-dimensional chess, attacked Fox News because he knew they'd overreact — only to set up the most damning Daily Show supercut ever?

Because that is what the president — and America — got.
