(Hawaii – 12/23/08) – In informal discussions today with reporters during his holiday in Hawaii, Barack Obama said that people having to work during Christmas week is yet another example in a long line of failed Bush policies.
“I find it hard to believe, during the week of the biggest holiday during the year, people have to actually continue working in order to afford the things they want. According to reports, this has been the worst Christmas season in years, and the problem is, you know, people can’t get to stores because they have to work. It’s a testament to failed Bush policies and his reluctance to look after the working class that it has come to this. It’s the fault of his abhorrent, backwards policies carefully implemented over 8 years of rule.”
“It may take 4 years to overcome this decent into madness, but rest assured, my following 8 years after the first 4 will correct the situation and ensure all Americans will be able to take the complete week off, with pay and insurance, to right this seriously listing ship. Look at me, I’m about to take over the toughest job in the world, yet I’m able to take the week off to frolic in the surf and have my picture taken. All Americans are equal, we should all have this chance.”
Developing..
People worked during Christmas week during the Clinton Administration too, WOW this Obama is some kind of idiot isn’t he
LOL poor reporters being forced to go to Hawaii to work.
That’s easy to fix, Mr. President-Select...declare the whole week a national holiday...duh
Is this satire?
It should be.
It’s gonna be a long 4 years isn’t it
it is..:)
How about all those who ar working during this week to serve him and his family?
Another blatant lie from the Presidential Elect Administration (PEA). I don’t have to work the Christmas week.
What? Is he so privileged that neither he nor Big Mouth Michele ever worked during a holiday? I’d like to share that cloud 9 he’s on.
I have never heard a more stupid statement in my life. I wonder if this idiot thinks food magically appears in grocery stores????????????? His disconnect from real life is incomprehensible!
I should have asked the same question prior to posting. Absolutely, it should be.
I bet ya the next four years people will be working during xmas week, this guy is an idiot to even say something like this, is everything bushs fault or what?!
“people can’t get to stores because they have to work.”
And the people at the store selling, aren’t working?
Shhh, don't tell 'em - the responses are funnier than the piece!
My mother had to work two jobs during the Carter years. She was able to quit her night job during Reagan’s first term.
What’s the penalty for slapping an Office of the President Elect?
And give everyone a pony!
OMG....this FOOL is going to be our head of state.....aaagggghhhhhhh.....who does he think delivers and sells all the CHRISTMAS presents bought this week? Santa????
