Tales From the Book of Obama. On the 35th day...

In the beginning their was a mighty exploision from an oil well a mile down beneath the surface of the ocean . It blew forth gushes of black crude into the ocean covering all the fish that swimeth and all the birds that flyeth and making its' way to the shores of the southern province of Louisiana. The people were sore afraid and called upon their annointed one, Obama, to stop the oil slick that threatend their shores. The annointed one said it was the fault of the evil oil company BP and he would make them pay for it.

The annointed one then went to BP and told them their malfeasance would cost them dearly and they said they would work to fix the problem. He then turned to his followers and told them he would not rest until everyone had a job and the hole was fixed. He then went to a dinner sponsored by his scribes where they mocked and poked fun at his opponents and he laughed along with them. He then went and played a few games of golf and shot basketball hoops while the BP people tried and tried different approaches to fix the hole which was still gushing oil.

Weeks went by and the annointed one still played golf and shot hoops and attended fund raisers while the mean oil spill ravaged beaches and wildlife. The good Prince Bobby, he of the House of Jindal in the southern province of Louisiana begged and pleaded with the annointed one to send vacums and skimmers and have his Coast Guard buld berms to protect his beaches and fishing industry that supplied the county, but the annointed one did not answer Prince Bobby for Prince Bobby was a mighty warrior of the opposing party and to take up his idea would make the annointed one look weak and foolish.

The oil spill continued to ravage the shores and the annointed one's friends who were his scribes in the media were turning against him. They warned the people that hurricane season was approaching and the winds could cause the currents to take the spill around the southern province of Florida and up the eastern seaboard and destroy wildlie and beaches there. The people were sore afraid once again and noticing their annointed one's silence, started to turn against their savior and his ratings plummeted to new lows at the polls. James Carville, he an advisor to the liberal House of Clinton and married to Mary Matalin, she an advisor of the conservative House of Bush, chastised the annointed one saying,"Get down here and fix this thing. We're dying down here."

Onthe 34th day the annointed one was at a fund raiser for his senator Barbara she of the liberal House of Boxer when he got tired of being crticized by the media scribes for not doing anything, gave out a mighty yell to his advisors saying, "PLUG THE DAMN HOLE!"

And on the 35th day the hole was plugged up.

The next day the annointed one held a press conference. His first in 305 days. He took credit for and personal responsability for the hole being fixed never once thanking the 20,000 people and first responders working on this spill for the last 35 days. He even cited his daughter Malika coming to him while he was shaving saying "Daddy when are you going to fix the hole?." He pounded his chest some more and announced he was having all offshore oil rigs shut down for six months while they inspect them thus depriving people of their much needed fuel and causing oil prices to go way up. Meanwhile the people in far off lands like China and Japan and Saudi Arabia laughed at the annointed one's decision because they knew they would fill in the gap and Americans' money would line their coffers.

Whereupon I say unto you my brethern. LET US PRAY!!!!
