Former Community Organizer Condemns Community Organizing

Washington, D.C.--Following a series of Congressional town hall meetings in which constituents spontaneously, but boisterously, presented their views on Democratic initiatives, President Obama addressed the nation to warn it of the dangers of community organizing.

“I used to be a community organizer," said Obama. "I was even hailed as a fellow organizer by a leader of the group ACORN, a community activism organization that has been the subject of over a dozen criminal investigations nationwide and calls for a Congressional investigation by the Democratic Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers. So I think I can speak to the dangers of that sort of activity with some authority.”

Obama said he has seen for himself the sorts of "ugliness and division" that can result from community organizing. “Just look at my own election,” he added.

Obama admitted that he told his supporters during the presidential campaign to find independents and Republicans and “argue with them and get in their face.” But now that he’s been elected, Obama said “I want to tell all Americans the same thing I told bloggers on a conference call last month: the time for talk is through.”

Obama May Supplement Wind and Solar Power with Nuclear Energy From Iran and North Korea

Washington, D.C.--With environmental groups opposing the expansion of cheap and efficient nuclear power plants, President Obama may include nuclear energy from Iran and North Korea in his U.S. energy program.

Because it is increasingly likely Iran will achieve a nuclear capability, and North Korea will develop missile technology capable of delivering nuclear material long-range, Administration sources said “we could see the results of that technology right here at home.”

Such nuclear technology would supplement current efforts to provide more wind and solar power, perhaps in heavily populated urban centers.

“By letting Iran’s and North Korea’s aggression go largely unchecked,” said one Administration official, “those countries may be more likely to share some of their nuclear energy with us.”

Surreal Film of Beer Summit Captures Footage of Bigfoot, UFO, But No Teaching Moment

The White House released surreal footage of an awkward “beer summit” photo-op in which President Obama and Vice President Biden had a beer with a Harvard professor and a Cambridge, Massachusetts, police officer. The event was an attempt to somehow provide what Obama called “a teaching moment” after he made a clumsy comment about the police officer’s acting “stupidly” when Obama admitted he didn’t know the facts surrounding the officer’s conduct.

The event’s fake feel was reinforced by the appearance of bigfoot and a U.F.O. as shown in the video below.

Mary Frances Berry, a former chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said “The President has been forced to apologize and drink beer in an almost comical photo-op.” Another commenter added “From the looks of the released footage, Leonard Nemoy should have provided the narration.”
