Political Humor

President Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) calls in a hack computer guy with marginal Photoshop skills to help him design the New American Flag. They sit in the Oval Office.

Obama: “How do you use that thing? I don’t see a teleprompter?”

Hack: “It’s a laptop, Mr. President. The screen’s sort of like a teleprompter.”

Obama: “I see. Hum. I like it. Now, I was thinking we should start with the current flag and see how I can improve it. ”

Hack: “No problem sir…”

Obama : “That’s Mr. President.”

Hack: Oh, sorry Mr. President. Okay, here’s the U.S. flag we have today.”

Obama: “You see the basic problem, don’t you. It has red strips that represents Red States. Also there’s more red strips than white. Sends the wrong message.”

Hack: “Not an issue, Mr. President. I’ll just get rid of the red ones. There, what do you think?”

Obama: “Better, but still not right. Now there’s too much white.

Hack: “I see your point. Okay, how about this?”

Obama: “I don’t know. How many stars are on the thing?”

Hack: “Well, ah… there are 50, Mr. President.”

Obama: “See, I knew something was wrong. During the campaign I got to all but one state. Now I’ve been to all 58 states. So add eight more stars.”

Hack: “Ah… yes Mr. President.”

Obama: “That’s a total mess. Let me think. I know, I’m a star. Matter of fact, I’m The Star, so how about one big one instead?”

Hack: “Like this?”

Obama: “Crap, now it reminds me of the Texas flag. That’ll never do. Get rid of the star.”

Obama: “Getting there. Except that blue looks too confrontational. Give me something a little more soothing. Something that says, “Hey, we’ve screwed-up. We’re sorry for all our transgressions, real or perceived.”

Hack: “What do you think of this, Mr. President?”

Obama: “Great color. But it’s still missing something.”

Hack: “Mr President, if I may be so bold…”

Obama: “Yeah, go ahead, but I’ll take credit for it if it’s a good idea.”

Hack: “Of course, Mr. President. I’d be honored for you to take credit for my idea.”

Obama: “Whatever. Just get on with it.”

Obama: “PERFECT!”

Am I the only one who thinks someone running for President should know how many states are in the country he wishes to preside over?

Then again, most people probably don’t know how many states there are anyway, what with outcome based education, and a fear that the children might have their feelings hurt if their incorrect answers are marked with red pens.

Most likely, voters in all “58″ states will not know if they are in one of the 8 states not in the union. If they’re Democrats, they will still be eligible to vote in multiple precincts too. Even if they’re dead.

Obama!

The controversy has reignited, possibly due to a nutty caller on the Rush Limbaugh show. This time, the focus is on 57 States, and the fact that the OIC (The Organization of the Islamic Conference) has 57 states. So, Obama said 57 states and there are 57 Islamic States. I think the evidence is pretty conclusive. Beware people. Obama is one of them there Mooselimbs.
