The great and wondrous leader Barack Obama called upon his followers to
gather in front of their televisions and said unto them, "Follow me for
we are on the brink of a great disaster the like of which we have not
seen since the Great Depression. Open your wallets and your children'
wallets and I will save you from walking off the precipice that is
before you." His followers without question opened their wallets and
bankrupt their children for decades to come because the magnificent one
said, "Do not fear for I am in charge and I will lead you to the land
of prosperity." This was the great disaster known as the Troubled Asset
Relief Program (TARP).
As unemployment began to rise the all
knowing leader Barack Obama called upon his followers and said unto
them, "Follow me for I am the all knowing and wise leader that shall
smite the wicked ways of the bankers and Wall Street Fat Cats that have
destroyed our economy. I will force them to take your money and thereby
gain control of all of the decisions they make, for only I am wise
enough to make those decisions." Again his followers fell to their
knees and praised the wise and all knowing Obama, feeling blessed that
they finally had a leader worth following.
Next the glorious
leader called upon his gathering of followers and said unto them,
"Follow me for I am the glorious all knowing leader that must take over
the automotive industry in America. I will use your money to buy up
stock and bail out the failing companies and I will be able to control
all of their future decisions for I am the all wise and glorious Barack
Obama." Again the gathering bowed and praised the all knowing savior
Barack Obama.
Again the glorious savior of the west called upon
his followers to gather before him and said unto them, "I am the great
all knowing wise man that you have chosen to lead you into the
prosperous land of the future. Now I find doubters amongst my people.
Now I tell you we are at a time of great crisis and something must be
done. As I have led you out of the great recession our future is now
threatened by the great Health Care debate. I am the wise one and I
have the answer. I have given great bribes to and even committed
extortion against my Democrat Disciples in Congress. They will pass a
Health Care Bill giving me more power and taxing you more. This must be
done now for we are standing on the edge of a great cliff but I shall
lead us away and back into the land of prosperity."
As his
followers looked up the great majority saw the all knowing and glorious
leader looking more like the Emperor with no clothes. The words coming
from the great one seemed hollow and similar to the failed promises
they had heard before.
Sensing his followers had fallen in
numbers the great one decided to take his message to the world, for
they must surely still believe him to be the great savior from the west.
With
arrogance and pride at his side he soared forth on the mighty wings of
Air Force One. He landed with great expectations and promises of good
tidings to all nations that would listen to his glorious words of
wisdom.
As he stood upon his mound and looked down upon the
Nations of the World that had gathered at the Mount Of Copenhagen, he
said unto them, "Listen and follow me for I am the Savior From The
West, the One and Only Barack Obama. All of you Nations of great wealth
and prosperity give up your monies and treasures, bankrupt your
countries so that you can give your wealth to the less fortunate
countries in Africa and the Middle East. Follow my lead for I have
already suckered my country into doing this very thing I ask of you.
The earth is warming and the climate is changing and if you do not do
as I ask we are all doomed. We must stop the carbon emissions and
reverse global warming before the Poles melt and the Oceans rise. I am
the great Obama, listen and follow or you all shall perish."
And
the great multitudes of Nations arose and said unto the Great One, "Uh
not so fast bub. This ain't America and you ain't so great."
"What's in this for us", said the smaller Nations?
"What's in it for me", said China?
And Obama said unto the smaller Nations, "I'll give you money."
The smaller Nations said, "Ok, how about $30 Billion."
Obama said unto China, "Please, pretty please I'll give you money."
And
China said, "Don't be stupid. You're going to borrow money from us just
to give it back to us with interest, boy is this guy stupid or what.
Look Barack we own you and therefore we have to save you from yourself.
No deal the meeting is over."
With this the great one returned
to his bankrupt nation of fewer and fewer followers and said unto those
few that would listen, "I have returned and bring you great promises
from the rest of the world. I have achieved unprecedented promises from
world leaders to think about cutting their carbon emissions and all it
will cost you is another $30 Billion to begin with. We may give up some
more jobs, but I have saved the world from global warming and climate
change for I am the great all knowing Barack Obama. So it has been
written, let it be done."
