Obama: People having to work during Christmas week another example of failed Bush policies

(Hawaii – 12/23/08) – In informal discussions today with reporters during his holiday in Hawaii, Barack Obama said that people having to work during Christmas week is yet another example in a long line of failed Bush policies.

“I find it hard to believe, during the week of the biggest holiday during the year, people have to actually continue working in order to afford the things they want. According to reports, this has been the worst Christmas season in years, and the problem is, you know, people can’t get to stores because they have to work. It’s a testament to failed Bush policies and his reluctance to look after the working class that it has come to this. It’s the fault of his abhorrent, backwards policies carefully implemented over 8 years of rule.”

“It may take 4 years to overcome this decent into madness, but rest assured, my following 8 years after the first 4 will correct the situation and ensure all Americans will be able to take the complete week off, with pay and insurance, to right this seriously listing ship. Look at me, I’m about to take over the toughest job in the world, yet I’m able to take the week off to frolic in the surf and have my picture taken. All Americans are equal, we should all have this chance.”

I've always worked during Christmas week unless I had an opportunity to lump Memorial Day, 4th Of July and Labor Day into the week as "use 'em or lose 'em". I've had many years when customer schedules demanded that I work on major holidays. I would just take them during Christmas week to "catch up". Only Christmas day is a holiday at my company. No "early off" on Christmas Eve or day off after Christmas. Ditto for the day after Thanksgiving. It's a standard work day.

Friendly word of advice: Satire is supposed to be just that little bit divergent from reality.

Is this a joke?

If not, what is this nutcase smoking? We wives and mothers work harder during Christmas week, the weeks preceding, and the weeks following than any other time of the year!

But, if the wonderful Obama is going to pay my way to Sandals, so I can have a luscious holiday break from cooking, shopping, cleaning, mailing, decorating,shoveling, etc....

Where do I sign up, and who is going to take care of it all?

Thanx Rats. Thanx Pubbies for giving us a loser candidate. No more excuses. Time to scrag both of these worthless Parties.

Dick Armee was right - we have become a nation of whiners. And BHO is now the Whiner in Chief, because the whiners are now in the majority. Pathetic.

It was the “you know” that made it so real.

You’re so cruel. Do you know even what it’s like to have an out-of-date iPod or to have to order a small mochaccino when you really need a venti?

Peeple, peeple, read it again. The second paragraph of Zero’s alleged statements gives it away that this is satire!

Good satire or sarcasm will always give you a clue or two.

This has got to be satire. Millions have to work this week. His own secret service has to work, his pilot and crew have to work, retail sales people have to work, warehouse and stockers have to work, supermarket employees, hotel employees, restaurant workers etc. etc. the list goes on forever.

That’s right, I don’t believe that the Indonesian has time for “informal discussions today with reporters” while he’s looking on his “deceased” grandmother in the walk-in icebox in Hawaii. No siree!

Obama is so out of touch and the reporters are weennies for not reporting it.
