A new White House petition wants President Obama to nationalize the "Twinkie industry," saving the popular junk food from possible extinction.
"We the undersigned, hereby request Barack Obama to immediately Nationalize the Twinkie industry and prevent our nation from losing her sweet creamy center," a petition on the White House "We the People" website requests ...

They don’t care that he didn’t lift a finger to save 4 Americans but cupcakes are a different story.
Like Rush said today, “Al Qaeda is alive, Twinkies are dead”. LOL! Good stuff! Thanks Barry!
Are these people for real? They want to petition the WH, have they not heard of Michell’e food campaign? If it were up to her, twinkies and ding dongs would probably have been banned from grocery store shelves a long time ago.
LOL - the satire is great - but, trouble is, this just might happen!
We live in a nation that's proven to be more than half crazy... so just about anything mindless is possible.
Twinkies - too big to fail.
Barney Frank was about to sign until he saw that it said “Twinkies”, not “Twinks.”
Dr. Egon Spengler: I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there and all my data points to something big on the horizon.
Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean, big?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Dr. Ray Stantz:[coughs]
Winston Zeddemore: That's a big Twinkie!
No Ron, I honestly didn’t see it coming.
It makes perfect sense, but it just didn’t occur to me that this move was next.
I’m thinking about the stupid 18,000 going to be out of work, and they were thinking about the fall back position.
I’m just laughing at myself here. I generally try to figure out what the next move is, and I fell down on this.
The Left just doesn’t think like we do. They quit their jobs, and then demand the president scold their boss.
Wow, I coulda used that one a couple of times in my life. LOL
Ah, no thanks. I don’t need another mommy.
Thanks for the benefit of the doubt. Much appreciated. I just didn’t deserve it. I walked into the door myself. This black eye is all mine. I got it the old fashioned way. I earned it.
BTW: I agree, this just might happen...
I think that’s funny. Good one.
That means no more Ring-Dings, Yodels, and Devil Dogs, too.

This will require some thought. I am not sure that Drake’s Cakes named their products as felicitously as Hostess when it comes to mockery of demodork policies.
You should have read more than the first line - actually a nice work of comical satire.
And just imagine what they'll cost.
I hope nothing happens to the Little Debbie company: Swiss Cake Rolls are my ultimate "feeding my anxiety" food.
Names 2 and 3 are just bizarre to this non-American.
That was the best name they could come up with?.
Yes, well, there are just some Americanisms that can’t be fully explained by anything other than experience and usage. If it makes you feel any better - and it probably won’t - when we lived in Central Europe we had friends who were originally from Belfast, though at the time were Londoners. There were a few expressions they had that never quite connected for me.
Was Governor Christie the first signature?
LOL
