Political Humor

In an exclusive, the  RL Inquirer has learned, from an unnamed source, the truth behind President Obama’s perplexing cozying-up to South American strongmen, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Lula de Silva of Brazil and most recently backing ousted would-be dictator, Manuel Zelaya of Honduras. In a scene that could have come right out of the Boys From Brazil, America’s first half-white President has buddied-up to Chavez, in order to get into the good graces of de Silva.

The question becomes, why?

Our inside sources have told us that Obama seeks to circumvent the 22nd Amendment, which sets a two term limit on the President. Obama believes that human cloning is not only possible, but available in Sao Paulo. He thinks a clone is not actually him, so will be able to run for President, after he is ineligible in 2016.

The History

Deep within the Brazilian jungle, Nazi scientist are thought to have first attempted cloning at the end of WWII, but were unable to get it right in time to resurrect Hitler. Work has continued in secret since that time -up until now. The earlier obstacles seemed to have been over-come by Brazilian scientist, but not without difficulties and set-backs.

Other less-than-successful attempts may have included, current Vice President Joe Biden. It’s thought Biden and several of other members of Congress were assassinated some years ago, by the mysterious Second Shooter on the Grassy Knoll. Unfortunately, the intellect of these cloned individuals didn’t develop as desired.

Recent advances in medical technology, and the mapping of the human gene, has made the exact duplication of a ‘fully functional and intelligent person’ not only possible, but apparently, a reality. Presidents for Life, de Silva, Chavez and Manuel Ortega of Nicaragua, and possibly Zelaya, are said to have already cloned themselves, to perpetuate their rule into the foreseeable future. It’s not known why Fidel Castro didn’t take advantage of this program.

The Future?

Obama expects to have several clones grown, at a staggered rate of every eight years. The first one will be ready for the 2016 elections. As a back-up plan, Obama’s Eternal Life Czar, continues to look for the rumored Fountain of Youth.
