Obama Derangement Syndrome: Fox Now Mocking Summer Jobs For Teens

Fox News has a simple rule when it comes to reporting on President Obama: pretty much anything he does is bad. Obama derangement syndrome has inspired the right-wing media to attack Obama's tie color, his choice of burger condiment and the way he celebrated Halloween (and Hanukkah and Easter and Christmas).
Today, Fox News attacked Obama for his youth summer jobs program because in addition to paid jobs, the program will include unpaid internships. Fox & Friends co-hosts repeatedly implied that the White House has somehow been hiding this fact and is using unpaid internships to "make the numbers look good." Here's co-host Steve Doocy in a tease for a later segment on the story:
DOOCY: Then -- first the president used "created or saved" to make his jobs record look bigger. Now he's got a new strategy: Counting unpaid internships to make the numbers look good. Story straight ahead.
During the segment, the co-hosts again suggested that there was something nefarious about the program's intent to create unpaid internships; Doocy even claimed that the program is the administration's attempt to "entice the young people to vote for them again":
