Legend of Obama: Seven at One Blow!

In the meantime the smell of the sweet softball media questions ascended so to the wall, where the flies were sitting in great numbers, that they were attracted to the unctuous spew and descended on it in hosts.

"Yo! Get outta here. Who invited you?" said the little President, and drove the unbidden guests away.


The flies, however, who understood no "Yo!," would not be turned away, but came back again in ever-increasing companies.

The little President at last lost all patience, and waved his hand around for the camera, and saying, "Wait, and I will give it to you," struck it mercilessly on them.

When he drew his hand away and counted, there lay before him no fewer than seven flies, dead and with legs stretched out. "Art thou a fellow of that sort?" said he, and could not help admiring his own bravery.

"The whole WORLD shall know of this!"

And the little President hastened to order a t-shirt from the Internet, embroidered on it in large letters, "SEVEN AT ONE BLOW!"

"The whole world shall hear of it!" and his heart wagged with joy like a lamb's tail. The President put on the t-shirt, and resolved to go forth into the world, because he thought his oval office was too small for his valour.

Upon viewing the President's deed and the t-shirt both North Korea and Iran eliminated their nuclear weapons and gave freedom to all their citizens.

And everybody lived happily ever after.

I still can't believe that this was not a report by The Onion. Had G. W. Bush performed the same stunt, the only report we would have heard would have been calls for the president's head from PETA.
