WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break.":rolleyes:

:eek:

Funny stuff, but I liked this one (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/nation_finally_****ty_enough_to) better:).

Mark L. Denton. What scholarship (says he's a scholar)? What kind of activist? Sounds like a sarcastic whiney crack that diminishes the office of the President. Every President including Washington had to clean up something from the era before him. It goes with the territory. Obama knew that and ran anyone. He's not likely to complain about it now that he has been elected. He'd better face it.

Mark L. Denton. ......

The Onion is a news/humor site -- so don't take what they say too seriously.

It IS "The Onion".

oh. don't know the onion at all....

Think TMZ or Inside Edition with chest hair. hehe, actually the onion is pretty funny not to be taken too seriously though.

One word for President-elect Obama: "triangulation." Hope I spelled it properly. Come to think of it, the remaining Republicans in the House and Senate don't seem too keen on bipartisanship right now, do they? Just had their #sses handed to them yet again. Ouch.
