Satire: The Party is Just Beginning!

I am delighted to be able to tell my many devoted readers that the Presidential campaign we all so enjoyed is far from over; indeed, it is just beginning. An incredibly reliable and very high ranking White House informant, who spoke to me on condition of absolute anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, angrily denounced persistent rumors that when President Obama travels to Denver, Illinois on Tuesday, 17 February 2009 to discuss his economic plan, he will throw many thousands of hundred dollar bills to the multitudes from his limousine. Those rumors are absolutely false. They are malicious, harmful to the country, and they must cease! So must outrageous and grossly defeatist statements amounting to treason which are reported by President Obama's enemies as coming from alleged White House officials:

President Barack Obama's aides warned Americans on Sunday not to expect instant miracles from the $787 billion economic stimulus bill he will sign this week, but said it would help eventually...

"...There will be signs of activity very quickly," David Axelrod, the White House senior adviser, said on Fox News Sunday "But it's going to take time for that to show up in the statistics. The president has said it's likely to get worse before it gets better."

These specious statements, taken out of context and poorly reported by right wing enemies of Democracy, are blasphemous. The statement by Mr. Axelrod was taken grossly out of context, as were all others, but did presage President Obama's triumphal journey to Denver on Tuesday of the coming week.

My informant was kind enough to direct me to a recent article posted on a well known but highly subversive conservative web site, which he said nevertheless fully expresses President Obama's bipartisan views and for which the entire White House staff is immensely grateful, notwithstanding its source. It is good to know that Our President is big enough to rise above partisan squabbling! Indeed, tingles must go down our collective legs because of this!

    Is the fact that the public service announcement bit has a page all to itself a part of the satire?
