Will Obama give up his Muslim ring ?

Why are you posting this?

[elcid1970]

Now, now, you forgot the mandatory `satire’ alert which prevents panic among jumpy FReepers.

;^)

[Leaning Right]

Laz, what are you trying to do, give all the gold bugs here fits?

It probably would have been better to say in the title Humor or Satire.

[jonno]

You should have added the satire tag. Some will believe this is true...

[gaijin]

Recently it has become very difficult to tell the difference between a joke and actual reality.

[knarf]

THAT was fun ..... thanx

[Hulka]

Better include “Satire” in the tile.

Thankfully, this is TOTAL B.S. and today is NOT even April Fool's.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Thanks for giving Obola ideas.

[moovova]

What? This isn’t real? Oh crap...I just mailed all of my gold off to the government because I didn’t want to be in violation of the law.

“Wait a minute, Mr Postman...”

[immadashell]

It's a very sorry state of affairs when you might possibly think this is real. A sign of the times (sigh).

[ThomasThomas]

Would Obama really do this to his rapper buddies?

Mr. T isn't happy!

[Southack]

People once actually thought like that...that having more gold in circulation improved an economy, while hoarding gold hurt it.

Of course, that hasn’t been accurate since the invention of credit, but people held onto that mindset for a long time after.

[ReformedBeckite]

I knew right off the bat this was satire when it said a quarter ounce, which isn’t much.

[Delta 21]

Screw ‘em!

Its good for your constitution to be made aware that you are flying off the handle irrationally at something that another human intentionally misled you on.

Besides, I just figured that this was a long lost part of ObammyDontCare that just got implemented and, Yes, FINALLY, I can say that I am an official criminal in the eyes of my government.

[Smokin' Joe]

Well, I knew it was satire. Otherwise the mint wouldn't be selling 1 ounce proof gold coins, uncirculated gold coins, and bullion coins (unless they were just compiling a 'gotcha' list.

Unfortunately, all my gold sank in the back yard, right where I want to build a root cellar. I'm not exactly sure where, but I could narrow it down to about 16X20 ft. so they can dig for it...

[G Larry]

After Bambi gets past my defenses he can have my gold.

I am protected against tyranny.

[KarlInOhio]

Obama would be far more likely to outlaw “hoarding” lead and brass.

[b4its2late]

He’s too late! LOL.
