Jamie Dimon: Hey, Barry, watch as I hit this drive into that group of people.

Obama: Yeah! I'll see if I can hit them too. Watch this.

Dimon: We both hit a couple of them. Wow! They're cussing up a storm at us.

Obama: Yeah well, wouldn't you if you got hit too?

Dimon: Let's do it again. What can they do to us anyway.

Obama: They can't do anything as long as I'm in charge so let's keep on swinging away to see who gets more hits.
