Satire: President Downplays Traffic Woes Caused by His Motorcades
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 27 Sep 2014 | John Semmens

As usual, President Obama’s recent trip to the United Nations to give a speech sparked tremendous traffic jams in New York City. Not to worry, though, it’s not so bad.

“I hear a lot of hype about New York traffic, but it didn’t look too bad to me,” the President said. “All the stories of bumper-to-bumper, stop-and-go traffic that I’ve heard showed no signs on my trip to the UN.”

While Obama did concede that his experience may have been abnormal compared to what ordinary drivers have to deal with, he insisted that “putting up with a little extra congestion when I’m in town is a price that loyal Americans should willingly pay. They recognize that my time is more valuable than their time. A million trips each taking an additional 10 minutes of a common person’s time are easily outweighed by 10 minutes of my time that is saved by barricading all the streets along my route from the airport to my destination.”

As proof of his assertion, the President reminded everyone that “New York City went heavily for me in both presidential elections. I think this shows the people of this city understand the sacrifices required of them.”

Why can’t he go underground to his Hideout in the WHITEHOUSE and get a secure SKYPE connection, full screen and talk to people miles away and save money.

This is unfair...When I was a little boy, my mother would scan the newspaper and cut out any satire that she found so that my life would be unsullied by any satirical writings...we somehow have to label the satirical writings so that we will not be unfairly afflicted with these silly diatribes...Oh my, oh my I am feeling lightheaded, I have an elevated heart rate, my breathing is labored...HELP!!!

Sorry. Due to the new Affordable Care Rules, you must pay your bill UP FRONT IN CASH before I can offer to assist you.

Well, for right now I'd say it's mostly in the comments.

Apparently we reached a tipping point.
