I think he’s refusing to come onstage and they’ve sent for Moochelle to come and scare him.

Dear American Citizens

I, Barak Hussein Obama, am here today to announce the resignation of Joe Biden as Vice President of the USA. In exchange from immunity from prosecution, I will immediately appoint Rush Limbaugh as my new vice President. Once he has been confirmed by the Senate, I will resign my office.

I know this will come as a shock to my many supporters in the US media but I think we all realize this is the only hope we have to avoid a complete meltdown of the US Economy.

Such a nice dream.....

It’s Obama, you don’t need to change the date, he doesn’t know what day it is anyway.

Maybe someone had to re program the teleprompter or his chief of staff told him to speak after markets close.

The Secret Service just captured a distraught man trying to scale the White House fence.

Once they get him back inside he’ll give his downgrade speech.
