SATIRE Former Obama Press Secretary Says GOP Unfairly Exploiting Administration's Failures
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 10 Oct 2014 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/10/2014 4:42:19 PM PDT by John Semmens

The incoherence of President Obama's foreign policy and the cascade of domestic policy scandals are being unfairly exploited for political gain according to former Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

"Hitting a man when he is down is just plain dirty," Gibbs maintained. "It's disloyal and unpatriotic. Rather than criticize the President, Republicans should be looking for ways to help him recover from the battering he is taking in the media. That would be the decent thing to do."

Gibbs was especially outraged that "the GOP hasn't given the President enough credit for what he has accomplished. President Obama came into office with less executive experience than any other president in American history, with the possible exception of Lincoln. Yet, despite this handicap he was able to pass landmark health care reform and win reelection by a sound margin."

The former Press Secretary expressed "hope that voters will look past the scurrilous attacks narrowly focused on so-called performance and remember why they voted for the President in the first place. There can be no question that his efforts to make government 'cool' have changed the way Americans think about how they want to be governed. Voting for the Democrats on their ballots in November will help him stay the course."

Unfairly, that’s the joke. An existential threat must be dealt with with an obscene reaction.

I like the part you wrote about the GOP not giving Zero enough credit for all he’s accomplished. Yeah, beheadings on American soil and an ebola epidemic are going to be really great on his preezy resume.

They (the ‘RAT freeloaders) are the ones they were waiting for. They are also the ones Alexis de Tocqueville warned us about.

The title/headline is Shakespeare. It goes into the lead perfectly. The hidden thoughts of the flunkies is perfectly analyzed by the satirical insight.

Well done.

I would believe this except for one thing. I don’t think Gibbs would say it. Now Pelosi, that I could believe.
