April Fools

By Jennifer Stephens on April 1, 2011

Let’s listen in on a very important meeting between Obama and Biden…

BO: Joe, I don’t understand why my approval ratings are so low. I’ve followed through on my campaign promises of giving people Change and Hope. What more do they want than for me to keep my campaign promises?

Democrats wanted change, and I gave them change. The House changed from Democratic majority to Republican majority. Are they mad I didn’t get the Senate to change majority as well? I made sure a lot of the Governorships changed from Democratic to Republican.

I did change the economy…

JB: But it’s gotten worse, Barry. I think they wanted it to get better.

BO: Oh… Guess that makes sense. Well, I changed the unemployment numbers…

JB: Sir, I think maybe they wanted them to go down, not up.

BO: But I thought higher numbers were better. I changed the National Deficit. I made it go a lot higher… See, that’s change. Big change.

JB: Think golf, and smaller numbers winning.

BO: Oh, you mean it’s like golf, where lower numbers are better. I like golf.

JB: Yes, Sir.

BO: That’s another change. I go off on vacations and golfing all the time. That’s a change from Bush.

JB: That is a change from Bush.

BO: And drilling. I changed the rules on drilling for oil. See, more change. And I didn’t just change things for domestic issues. I did change our foreign policy.

JB: Well, they are comparing Libya to Iraq…

BO: No, no, I know invading Libya seems just like Iraq, and Bush foreign policy. But I changed my mind several times. That’s change. Lots of change. And I gave all control to NATO. That’s a change from what Bush did – or any other President. Bush had a foreign policy, and Idon’t. That’s change. Bush was great friends with Tony Blair. I alienated the British so much I don’t even get invited to the Royal Wedding. Losing one of our best Allies, that’s a change.

Foreign leaders, they may not have liked bush, but they didn’t ignore him. They know they can get away with ignoring me. Being able to ignore the President of the United States… That’s a major change.

JB: And the Hope, Barry?

BO: I gave people Hope too. I pushed through Obamacare, so they can now hope it’ll be repealed. And they can hope I don’t get elected again. That’s Hope. So, really, what’s the problem?

JB: I have no idea… Maybe Nancy or Harry knows…

BO: That’s brilliant. No wonder I made you my Vice President. Yeah, let’s go ask them…

To those who voted for Obama, wanting Hope and Change… Joke’s on you. April Fools…
