The Obama administration flush from running a budget deficit larger than that of ALL of his predecessors COMBINED and it's virtual takeover of GM, has decided the war on terror is over. You see for the last eight years we've had it all wrong. Apparently to succeed against the murderous savages of Islamic extremism, guns and bombs are not required. What we have been needing all along is a nifty sounding phrase for animals that strap bombs to themselves and blow their urine stained robe covered bodies up in the midst of innocent civilians. Rest easy people we have that nifty catch phrase now. Sleep easy there is no more terrorism. Nope, from now on when some camel humping pig flies a plane into a skyscraper and kills thousands of people it will not be called an act of terrorism, it will heretofore be referred to as a "man caused disaster". Don't you feel better now?
In a related bit of news, an administration spokesman called North Korea's early morning test launch of a ballistic missile, a failure, because "it didn't achieve orbit". Of course everyone who pays attention to these knows that this rocket was never intended to achieve orbit. Someone needs to explain to the wizards of the messiah's administration that the point of long range ballistic missiles isn't to achieve orbit, but rather to go up and then come down presumably with a nuclear payload somewhere around the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.
Not to worry though, only a few hours after the launch our fearless leader spoke in very stern tones and wagged his finger. Needless to say Kim Jong Il has now decided to scrap his plans to sell North Korea's ballistic weapons technology to Syria and Iran or any other buyer with money to pay, and is now in the process of turning his nuclear facilities into sushi manufacturing facilities, in anticipation of changing his countries number one export from missile technology to raw fish exporting.
Next on the agenda for the administration will be the elimination of plane crashes. They will be known from here on as unscheduled spontaneous landings. There are also rumors that the admisitration has plans to eradicate cancer worldwide by referring to it in the future as overenthusiastic cell reproduction. Heart failure is also on the agenda for elimination. There will be no more heart attacks, people will just occasionally be having cardiac vacations.
Obamamerica what a wonderful happy place. Nothing but sunshine and happy thoughts............ oh and unemployment nearing 10%, and deficits so large that we will be bankrupt within a decade.
But don't fret, because now the US government is backing the warranties on GM and Chrysler cars. That ought to make getting repairs easy. I mean look how efficient and wuickly medicare and medicaid work. Got transmission trouble with your chevy?? Not to worry. Just call President Goodwrench

chris once again your figures and your logic dont add up.
Maybe someday we can have a conversation but then again maybe not. You arent up to the challenge.
Well off to find something interesting.
Personally I find it funny. You try to be witty but it just doesnt work. Sorry sweetie.
Okay, the way this was written did make me laugh.
and this line had me cracking up: "There will be no more heart attacks, people will just occasionally be having cardiac vacations."
and hey, if GM is run like the (government) Postal Service, we won't be doing so bad ;-)
But I see from the comments that you are trying to seriously ridicule.
Well, to each their own. Slathering the word "War" onto everything didn't do us any good. Under Republican rulers we've had the War on Poverty, The War on Drugs, The War on Obesity, etc..., and the War on Terror; none of which have been won.
Personally, I don't care what nickname, or politico-babble they want to attach as a label. They can call it "overseas contingency operations" -- the "War on Terror" -- or "Pin the Tail on the Donkey's Holes" I just want Al Queda to be constantly hurting from our pursuit and for Bin Laden to be caught tried and executed PUBLICLY.
Why does that number keep growing? Obama said a few weeks ago that Bush left him with a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit. The truth is that Bush's fiscal deficit was 500 billion, which is ridiculous. Then came the financial market crisis where he called both Obama and McCain into an emergency meeting that resulted in the 750 billion dollar TARP fund. Even though Obama was FOR it and lectured McCain for initially opposing it before he flip flopped, he still acts as though he ad nothing to do with it. Not very honest but if you drink the kool-aid, I suppose it makes sense.
I guess the good news about all of this is that ush won the war on terror. he left obama with nothing but over sees contingency opperactions and an occasional man made disater including the stimulus bill.......
War is ugly. Terror is ugly. "War on Terror" is an ugly contradiction that makes no sense. However, there are terrorists out there and we need to fight them before they got here and/or change our foreign policy approach over there. Call it whatever you want, the job needs to get done.
Ummm Bill's Spirit. The War on Poverty was a Dem (LBJ) invention though both sides have wasted money on it quite enthusiastically. The War on Drugs I'm unsure of who started THAT one but ditto on the bi-partisanship over the decades. The War on Obesity I thought wasn't declared and Congress was just calling that a police action. Still to call any but the War on Terror a Repub action solely is a bit of a stretch. If it involves government action, you can count on the Dems to call for action at least as loudly as the Repubs, if not more so.
