From Obama's Secret Facebook Account

"Empty plates courtesy of the president!"

by Harrison J Bounel AKA Barry H. Obama

I flew into New Hampshire to talk about jobs, the jobs of those election board officials who even for a moment thought about asking me for identification before putting my name on the ballot. Ha! But I also like to chat with ordinary folks, so I stopped in a local cafe and invited myself to breakfast with some ordinary folks.

I said “What do you like most about me?”

The mother said “Well, you have given us many opportunities to discuss values with our sons.”

I said “Like fairness?”

The mother said “Yes, like fairness. For instance, I expect my kids to do chores around the house in order to earn their allowances. Lately they’ve tried to tell me I’m not being fair. They don’t think they should have to make their beds or mow the lawn just to get money for video games when their father and I have more than enough money to buy them the games.”

I said “I think you’re just being mean and selfish.”

The mother said “Look, we provide food and clothing and a roof over their heads. I tell them we are like the 50% who pay taxes and they are like the 50% who don’t. I expect them to do a little more than just occupy the house.”

Artie, the boy in the green shirt, said “Last week she made me show her my report card. I told her I didn’t have to. What do you think?”

I said “She sounds like a crazy wingnut to me, Artie. Just make up a report card on your computer. You know how to use photoshop, don’t you? That should shut her up.”

The mother said “You don’t think I could tell a fake report card from a real one? Now, look, you’ve called me ‘mean’, ‘selfish’, and a ‘crazy wingnut’. I try to teach the boys not to call people names just because you disagree with them.”

I said “I guess you’re not a Democrat, then?”

The mother said “Now you’re really pushing your luck.”
