Obama: Coakley victorious if Brown gets less than 60 percent(Scott Ott Satire)
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 1/19/2010 | Scott Ott

Posted on 01/19/2010 10:10:40 AM PST by SonOfDarkSkies

"Our internals show that he might eke out a margin something less than double digits," said the unnamed Coakley campaign source, "It would be laughable if it weren't so tragic to see all of that money and effort wasted on a shamefully small point spread."

The White House said the president's last-minute campaign visit to Massachusetts was not designed to bolster Coakley's sagging poll numbers, but to give the president an up-close look at the sad state of the Republican Party and conservatism in general.

"It was really a triumphant visit, without gloating of course," said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, "The president packed nearly 75 percent of a 3,000 seat hall. Meanwhile, a similar rally for Scott Brown couldn't even provide seats for everyone, and left some out in the cold ... another illustration of the bankruptcy of Republican ideas and the insensitivity of a party that wants to keep health care decisions in the hands of a bunch of sick people and greedy doctors."

I love the sarcasm in this post. Unfortunately, we have people occupying in the White House who actually think like this.

Love it. Truth is, I could see Gibbs making those kind of spins that would shame even the best DJ’s.

“Brown couldn’t provide seating”. LOL

Yeah, just like when Obama got under 60% in 2008 (actually 53%) it was a win for McCain/Palin.

OK...

Is the Washington Examiner quoting an Onion or Scrappleface article?

First, I read the excerpt and went, “Huh?”
Then I went to the source and was fully enlightened!

Looks like Scott wrote a Scrappleface article just for the Examiner (or at least gave them a syndicated story).

"The president packed nearly 75 percent of a 3,000 seat hall

Was that with or without the arena curtain drawn?

It is satire, and hilarious. I particularly liked the last part about how Brown didn't even have seats for his supporters, and there were so many packed inside, that many had to stand outside. BWAHAHAH!

That shouldn’t make you sad, that should make you happy.

Just imagine the looks on these people’s faces after they see the election returns this Nov. :)
