The Obamacare Shuffle

The Obamacare Shuffle

As smarmy David Letterboy continues his nightly snide attacks on Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney and in his inimitable lackey fashion defends all things Obama, his hero president is in the process of performing a political imitation of a Step ‘n Fetchit dance routine.

Obama, with the scent of ignominious defeat in his nostrils and the unmistakable sound of a splattering legacy in those ears of his, has apparently decided that since his first set of lies didn’t work, in desperation he’s chosen a new set of Obamacare falsehoods.

With his administration in disarray over the intentional vagaries of “health care reform,” Obama has now, allegedly, taken the capstone of Obamacare, the “public option,” off the table and tossed it into the sewer where it belongs.

Since he would no sooner really abandon that socialistic requisite, which he has long and fervently esposed, than he would admit his affinity for Islam, one suspects that it will be surreptitiously slipped under the table.

Obama, despite his protestations of transparency in government, has often shown that he just loves surreptition.

The chosen tactic? A nationally-televised press conference? Nah, the electorate is already onto the planted questions and questioners and his trusty teleprompter, without which he devolves into a babbling, meandering Joe Biden.

Well, how’s about an address to a joint session of Congress? Hey! That might work what with the gravitas that such an event confers, compounded by national TV coverage! And, said trusty teleprompter would still be on hand to protect against nationally televised flubs.

How to pull it off, though, without making it seem like, well, like just another sleazey tactic?

The following is an exclusive, confidential, verbatim account of recent contacts between the Oval Office and the congressional offices of Speaker Pelosi and Senate Leader Reid. We were able to tap into their phone lines, with the help of 16 year old who has also hacked into their computers.

Under no circumstances will I divulge my source, so don’t even try, FBI!

The following is the transcript. “O” is the president, “P” the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, “R” the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid.

O: Hey, Nance!

P: Who is this?

O: It’s Barry, the president, dammit!

P: Oh, sorry. I just had a Botox shot and my brain is a bit numb.

O: No problemo, Nance. We’re used to that over here. (sounds of shuffling and whispering) I mean, I understand Mrs. Speaker.

P: Oh.

O: Ok, look, I want to use a new approach to get the people to accept my health care proposals.

P: Yes?

O: Well, . . . I want you and Harry to pretend you want me to address a joint session.

P: A joint session?

O: I mean a joint session of congress!

P: Yeah, sure, we can do that. Could you also address the benefits of Botox? I mean, my hubby thinks I look 40 and last night he even . . .

O: Umm, Nance, no . . .

P: Well, fine! But he actually . . .

O: Switch me over to Harry, please.

P: Sure! (muffled sounds and what seems to be the N-word) . . .
