Muslim world reacts to Obama's latest speech

This was sent to me in an email because people believe it to be true. However, it is satire. In the same vein as the Hitler videos complaining about the Dallas Cowboys. I thought you all would enjoy it, and also alert you that it is a spoof should you receive it in an email.

Folks.......this a spoof. It was never intended to be taken as a legitimate news report. Obviously two things are at play here. One, I did the job too well. Two, we have come to the stage in the Obama presidency where quite literally..........anything is possible

[BenLurkin]

Brilliant!

[Robert DeLong]

I was hoping it was true. However, there is more truth in this humor than not. Unfortunately that reality is not funny.

[jsanders2001]

Funny stuff. Pretty sure many Muslims feel the same about him though. Since he loves them so much more than Americans he should just go ahead and move over there. Two birds with one stone.

I never saw the video until now, but there were a couple of things that were a dead giveway:

1. The "general" thumps the desk twice, in exactly the same video clip -- it was inserted twice, with different dialog.

2. The joke about Obama's "workout". That was a bit over the top, especially combined with his "wife makes all the decisions".

Anyone that believed this was real, or even wished it to be real, is suffering from confirmation bias. You really should get out more.

You really should get out more

Nah, no need to leave my spread!!!

All of what you said is what of course lead me to believe something wasn't quite kosher with the video, but hey one can still hope it was real. LOL

I still laughed, especially on the: He's on drugs comment.

I still laughed, especially on the: He's on drugs comment.

Unfortunately, that's probably the most believable statement in the parody.

Believable, as in it's something other world leaders are likely to say.

[Robert DeLong]

But there were no other world leaders within that discussion group. It was talking heads, with one being identified as a former General, and they were Egyptian. Since Egyptians have been vocal with regard to their disdain for Obama, it made it somewhat plausible.

Apparently there were enough viewers who bought into it, if you read the comments.

At first blush I was skeptical of its authenticity for sure. Since I don't watch any Egyptian TV, nor speak the language, I couldn't be 100% sure it wasn't real. That's why I went to the comments.

It's regarded as Poe's Law.

The Trayvon Martin Lied

[Robert DeLong]

Couldn't hear the lyrics on that song at all.

But yes Poe's Law seems appropriate.

[Stepan12]

I wrote the lyrics down below the you tube just in case that happened.

Trayvon Martin, he was a thug in making. He thought he'd kill one George Zimmerman. But George's gun sent Trayvon all a splaying. His matasasker made short work of him.

George Zimmerman, is a real life hero. He stopped Trayvon and wrecked his knock out game. The Libbies cried foul. How dare George defend himself? Cuase the lib/commies are totally insane.

Barack Hussein, is the affirmative action Hitler. He's going to kill Israel's six million Jews. He'll have Iran do his dirty work for him, cause leading from behind is what his wont to do.

George Zimmerman, is a real life action hero. He shot Obama's son and bloodied up his hoodie (Obama said Trayvon looked like a son he would have) The world saw that and they said happily That Zimmerman did a goodieeee!
