Obama Complains About Lack of Privacy
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 3 Jan 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 01/06/2009 5:01:34 PM PST by John Semmens

President-Elect Barack Obama says his patience with the media is “running thin.”

“Everywhere I go, they’re there,” Obama complained. “I’m barraged with questions. My every movement is photographed and analyzed. I can’t seem to get a moment’s peace.”

Obama says he isn’t buying the argument that this is par-for-the-course if you’re President of the United States. “I didn’t mind it so much during the campaign,” Obama admitted. “I needed the exposure then. But enough’s enough. From now on, information will be given out on a need-to-know basis. If I think there’s something that some people need to know I’ll issue a statement. Otherwise, please leave me alone.”

Is this true or supposed to be funny?

If it’s true, unbelievable - he has a love affair with the media and then drops ‘em like a hot potatoe because he needs a little space.

If it’s supposed to be funny - it is.

These threads are much more enjoyable when folks wait awhile before saying that word. It’s a fun sport to see how many fall for it. ;)

I hope this was said with tongue in cheek.

Sorry, BO. You now have an obsessed love-sick lunatic known as the MSM after you, like Pygmalion and Galatea, whom you driven into passionate distraction with your meaningless bromides and sculpted torso.

They are your's, forever & ever.
