With the official unemployment rate topping 10 percent and the unofficial rate approaching 20%, President Barack Obama has sought to reverse his plunging job approval numbers by launching what he calls a domestic employment initiative.
I am calling on the wealthiest 10% of Americans to help out the 10 percent who are unemployed by hiring them as domestic servants or personal aides, Obama announced. Even in these hard times, the upper crust of our society has more money than they need and lives in bigger houses than necessary. So, the means and infrastructure to support my initiative are already present. All thats required is the will to make it happen.
The President pointed out that my wife has, herself, hired over two dozen personal assistants. And I am happy to report that she now wonders how she ever got along without them. I am confident that others will likely experience a similar epiphany once they have someone on their payrolls to cook, clean and run errands.
Obama said he hoped the initiative would spark sufficient voluntary participation, but would consider a more forceful approach if necessary. If the kind of carefree life Michelle has enjoyed through her acts of generosity isnt inspiring enough we can look into other types of inducements, he said.
Among the other inducements receiving some play in the Obama Administration is a surtax on incomes over $250,000 per year for households that do not hire at least one more domestic servant/aidethe funds from which would be used to hire servants and aides for families earning less than $250,000 per year.

How about the lady next door for your babysitter instead of the government subsidized child care (taxpayer ripoff).
Those wealthy Americans probably put in more hours in a week than Obama does in a month.
Darn it John....You got me!!
Not if you count golfing, partying, and vacationing!
Ok John - so you bin readin’ them ante-Bellum novels agin?
dang it, I fell for this satire again. LOL.
Excellent
Hat’s off to the Translator-In-Chief. :-)
He has not one success to add to his resume and we’re expected to think that this will be anything other something eles to just toss on his already massive pile of epic fail in less than a year? His “Yes, we can” is more like “No, he can’t.” How stupid do he and his band of useful idiots think we are?
Mrs Zer0 has, I believe, 34 "assistants". Laura Bush had one. Bambette needs a plantation house to house hers alone.
Need to get my income up to 250K so I can have my own.
“Black guys, help the white guys” from Stripes.
Regardsless of the satire, it still underscores (as if it is necessary) the gross hypocrisy and arrogance of these carpetbagging Marxist anti-Americans. I wonder if these “hiring incentives” have been extended to Obama’s Politburo of Czars??? (chuckle)
Even though I am not in the wealthiest 10%, I would be glad to help out any unemployed “Swedish Bikini Team” models.
;)
Who does he think is going to pay for this crap?
...Restricted, unless your licensed, and, then taxed, and then regulated by the feds. Or, get a go to jail card...
... would be used to hire servants and aides for families earning less than $250,000 per year.
Since I'm now unemployed, I can get a free servant. This is wonderful!!! (/sarc for those of you that can't tell)
