WASHINGTON – The International Federation of Competitive Eating announced that the race for the 2016 Nathan’s International July Fourth Hot Dog Eating Contest is down to Rio de Janeiro, Madrid, and Wildwood, New Jersey as Chicago was eliminated in one of the most shocking defeats in IFOCE history.
The defeat is especially painful for President and Mrs. Obama, who made personal pleas before IFOCE this morning in Coney Island.
In an impromptu speech before IFOCE’s Board of Regents, Mr. Obama waxed eloquent by reading from a teleprompter for forty-five minutes about his memories of eating hot dogs in Chicago, at times moving to tears the other Chicago luminaries who accompanied him, Al Capone, Sam Giancana, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Obama made the trip at the cost of his floundering healthcare reform efforts. He told a reporter last night that “getting the hot dog contest for Chicago is more important than the stupid healthcare thing.”
Former President Jimmy Carter said that IFOCE’s decision could only be accounted for by racism. “I know nothing about IFOCE, it’s make-up or history, but any Obama defeat, at any time, in any place, can only be attributed to racism,” Carter explained.
YIPPEE...at least NJ is in the running for something...even if it is satire...ha ha ha
Michelle, Oprah, and hot dogs?
Hmmmmmm.
Tanned Latinas in thongs, or tattooed swarthy overweight women in Phillies hats....
Though the First Lady made a huge sacrifice in accompanying the President it is rumored she made up for her disappointment by eating every hot dog she could lay her hands on.
Before the trip home on Air Force One it was said by an insider that her seat had to be widened and a beefed up seat belt installed, a sad thing being as that she only did it for the children.
LOL! She mistakenly thought she was there as the First Contestant!
