WASHINGTON, DC – Today, feeling a bit tired and hungry from their constant agit-prop campagin to overthrow the United States Constitution, President and Exalted Leader of the World, Barack Hussein Obama, and forgettable laughing stock, Vice-President Joe Biden, decided to head down to a local burger joint and have lunch–without preconditions.
“I promised in my campaign that I would go to any length to reach across the table to those less intelligent than myself,” said Obama. “Admittedly, that’s a pretty short list, but it’s hard to be dumber than Joe here. Besides. Joe is tiny. He can’t possibly hurt me and poses no imminent danger to the illegal immigrant workstaff here at Ray’s.”
Biden agreed enthusiastically. “Pretty soon, the tax hikes will be in place and everyone will wonder why we took so much time eating lunch instead of fixing our nation’s economy. But that’s just mindless rhetoric spewed by a few extreme right-wing people who should all be rounded up and killed anyway. Pass the ketchup, Barry.”
The photo-op-laden visit to the appropriately-named Ray’s Hell Burger was replete with image-over-substance displays while the two most powerful men in the world chowed down on greasy food. Throngs of swooning sycophants gathered around the establishment, just hoping to get a glimpse of Joe Biden’s hair plugs and perhaps even spot the country’s first Red president.
“This is the dawning of a new era for Joe and myself, an opportunity for people of different IQs to come together and work for peace. This luncheon shows that he and I are willing to go the limit to secure that peace, even if it means trying to seem like the rest of you normal working slobs,” said the president, reading from his ever-present teleprompter. He then lit up a cigarette and continued his meal, reading from his well-loved and dog-eared copy of Das Kapital.
“I’m very disappointed that the president is eating meat,” said one fawning onlooker, proudly wearing a PETA t-shirt. “I guess he isn’t one of us at all. Does he really think we’re going to be fooled by seeing him read Karl Marx in public when he so brazenly consumes the flesh of dead animals? What a sham!”
Others were more enthusiastic, citing the experience showed Obama wasn’t elitist and could really get down and identify with the common man (apparently, they lacked the analytical ability to see the inherent presupposition of elitism in their statements, but we digress).
“See!” said one excited man, recently laid off from his automobile manufacturing job, “Barack is just like us! He eats $6.95 hamburgers with grease and everything!”
“This is cost-saving measure,” said Obama, wolfing down some of Ray’s famous cheesy fries. “I heard about this place from [former President] Clinton. He loved the fries here and I must say, he’s got good taste in food! This reminds me of that stuff that Jeremiah Wright’s wife used to make during our cook-outs in Chicago…. Oh, wait. Nevermind. Pass the salt, Joe.”
The total tab for the outing? About $20.00, excluding the thousands of dollars for the Secret Service and motorcade personnel. Quite a deal!
