Move Over, Billy Mays.

There's a new pitchman on the scene to challenge the inestimable (until now) Billy Mays. His name is Barack Obama and his day job is Chief Executive Officer of the most powerful country in the world. He also serves as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the same country. Here are actual quotes from a speech he gave yesterday at the White House.

“…if you are having problems with your mortgage, and even if you're not and you just want to save some money, you can go to MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- and the way the web site is designed, you can plug in your information and immediately find out whether or not you are potentially eligible for one of these -- one of these mortgage refinancings.”

“Again, the web site is MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- is that right? MakingHomeAffordable.gov -- so get on the web site, find out what's available.”

“So take advantage of MakingHomeAffordable.gov and that will allow you to figure out exactly how to proceed on this in a way that's making you money, saving you money, as opposed to costing you money.”

It is said that a good salesman knows his product and sells himself. Billy Mays's challenger certainly does the latter very well.
