WASHINGTON, DC – President Barack Obama is going to try to cancel all American workers’ vacations for the summer!
That’s the shocking word from one White House source, who says Obama’s stunning plan is a desperate attempt to boost American’s economy and ensure reelection in 2012.
“At first, people will hate Obama’s plan but in the end it’ll make him look like an economic genius,” an anonymous White House source said.
“His advisers calculate the scheme will increase U.S. productivity by almost 18 percent and add at least $1.2 trillion to the Gross National Product – because employees will be working an average of 2.5 extra weeks a year.”
“And when productivity skyrockets, America will...

almost plausible....
Once again, it’s hard to tell what is fact or fiction with the Obama administration.
And what about all the employees who’s jobs rely on the vacation/entertainment industry??
What about the huge loss in profits of the cities and towns that people traditionally vacation too? Not so smart after all you totalitarian putz! Just leave those huge figures out to try to make it sound smart. It is downright dumb and not your place.
I don’t work for him.
Excellent. Make that #4.
If this wasn’t satire, it still would be bogus.
The current economy has a surplus of capacity and a lack of demand.
Increased production is not really needed at all.
He’s an asshat, anyway. The move would not surprise me in the least.
“The most devious part of Obama’s plan is a loophole that will allow vacations for a select few people who work in the media, such as high-profile newspaper columnists and TV commentators. “Since these people won’t have to suffer, they’ll praise Obama like he’s a hero. Daily newspapers will be full of charts and graphs showing how the economy is moving along at a record pace.””
“The final step of Obama’s plan will be to call a major press conference on New Year’s Day 2010 and announce that he is granting everyone their vacations back for that year. “He knows the public has a short memory and by then will have forgiven him for taking away their vacations in teh first place,”
BWAAAA! And it’s even got a pol!
Sounds almost plausible for them.
WWW has more news in it than the lamestream media. (what? The aliens aren’t supporting o-bozo anymore? LOL)
Let’s scrape Florida off the continent why dontcha?
Wow... I fell hook and line and sinker because it DOES seem so damn plausible. Holy crap, where have we come for this to seem plausible?
This is a GAG!
However, worse things are actually afoot, which are not jokes.
What about the simple fact that I don’t give a damn what the government says. If I want to take time off, I GODDAM WILL! Call it sick leave. Screw obama. I’m going to have a migrain for a week in a nice climate.
Good point. Producing more stuff that nobody wants to buy isn’t the answer. Actually, he has the answer. Exactly what Reagan and Volkner did.
Well, why not? They’re planning to ban Cheerios, so what the heck. Ban everything.
