Irony?

President Obama told bankers this the other day:

“Be careful how you make those statements, gentlemen. The public isn’t buying that.”

“My administration,” the president added, “is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.”

Ironic how this administration is using the pitchfork in this way...
Here's the Double Nickel Farm pitchfork...where I come from folks cling to their guns and bibles too.
