A Little Levity is in Order

This is the first good laugh I've had all day:

Obama to Nation: "Fuck this shit, I'm outta here"

In the wake of an epic financial meltdown that threatens to derail the U.S. economy for years, Barack Obama announced he was ending his run for President of the United States, declaring to a stunned nation, “Man, this is bullshit.”

In a boisterous and hastily-called press conference, Obama detailed his reasons for the decision. “I was prepared to fight global warming, reform the health care system, repair our crumbling roads, create a 21st century electric grid, find Bin Laden, end the war in Iraq, and bring peace to Israel and the Palestinians. But now you tell me I have to clean up the worst financial mess since the Great Depression too? One that’s going to plunge our economy into a recession for most of my administration while I take the blame? Fuck that. That’s fucking ridiculous. You guys clean up your own shit. I’m outta here.”

I'm glad someone's sense of humor hasn't been bludgeoned out of them by the relentless, criminal stupidity of the right wing.

And, I have to say, if Obama chooses to make this parody a reality, I won't blame him a damned bit.
