Obama Campaign Announces New Media Protocol
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | 9 August 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/10/2008 5:49:20 PM PDT by John Semmens

The Obama campaign announced that from now on all media questions must be submitted in writing, in advance.

“Too many trick questions are being asked,” said Harvey Sain, deputy media specialist for the Obama campaign. “The Senator’s message is getting lost in the media’s demand for answers to trivial matters. Iraq, Iran, drilling, taxes…these petty concerns should not be allowed to distract voters from our promise of hope and change.”

Sain also questioned the motives of reporters asking such questions. “Are they shills for McCain?” Sain asked. “Or are they closet racists? Either way, we’re putting a stop to it. Nothing must be allowed to derail this train.”

In related news, campaign finance records disclosed that Obama has out-paced McCain by $33,000 to zero in contributions raised from Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza. “Oppressed peoples everywhere see Senator Obama as their savior,” Sain crowed. “Even the poorest of them cannot wait to cast their bread upon his waters.”

This is totally laughable. Any time someone gets near Obama with a plausible, applicable question, especially one that would show him for what he is, they are canned before they can confront the Empty One.

Hard to think of a question that would not show him as the carpetbagging nobody socialist that he is .....

Good one! In this case the satire is closer to the truth than ever!

Ah. It’s a joke. But as is the case with every good joke, it contains a grain of truth.

“Too many trick questions are being asked,”

You mean too many questions no one has briefed Barry Soetoro/Obama on and his teleprompter typist doesn't know the answers either.

When ol' BillyJeff would start pointing that finger, we'd all know that a good ol' Arkansas lie/yarn was about to be spun. And when Barry S/O starts stuttering, he may as well be pointing his finger because it means the same ol' thing.

You no longer write satire. You are commenting on factual events.

ROFLMAO -—

Hey Barry, about that birth certificate, you do know you have to be a ‘natural-born’ American before you can be President, don’t you? And you do know your mother didn’t meet the legal requirement when you were born. Are you afraid someone will ask the question?

Barack, it means “blessed by God” in Arabic. May explain the inflated head we see you walking around with. But weren’t you born ‘Barry’?

I guarantee you, if this article was e-mailed all over America, 990% of the recipients would NOT know it is satire; it's too close to reality. And, if that happened, it would hurt Obama greatly.

If this article got wide circulation, it would probably be cost B. Hussein 1% of his vote total.

I have to label it satire in order to protect the identities of the spies I have planted in the Obama campaign.
