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

Posted on 09/30/2014 10:46:38 AM PDT by 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.”

Somtimes it is difficult to tell the difference between satire and reality. This sounds so much like the Obungler, he probably really does have thoughts like these. Thanks again John, for a job well done.

“As proof of his assertion, the President reminded everyone that “New York City went heavily for me in both presidential elections.”

Poll numbers also indicate that among registered Democrats, both living and deceased, are in favor of him running for a third term.

Now you need to post a regular story that is outrageous, but true, just to see how many think it is satire anyways.(just your name would do the trick)
