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."

In related news, Logan Clements, producer of the film "Sick and Sicker: ObamaCare Canadian Style," has been hit with an IRS audit. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen insisted that "the selection of Clements for audit was completely random. Unfortunately, the documents verifying this were among those lost due to one of the many computer crashes that have plagued our agency."

If it's not news now, it will be soon, one suspects.

Another fine/scary column, John.

In the future, reality-based attacks will not be permitted. The liberal bubble MUST be kept inflated at all costs.

(John, you ditched the additional satire warnings and Free Republic has miraculously survived! Well done!)

IS THIS SATIRE? I just want to be sure that THIS IS SATIRE.
I'm tired of looking foolish by believing this writer.
So
Can anyone tell me - IS THIS SATIRE?.
I just want to know if it is or not. This guy is a pretty good writer and sometimes
I look foolish because I'm not able to tell if THIS IS SATIRE.

LOL... Amen. It's his "accomplishments" that we Conservatives are pointing out and shouting out from the rooftops to anyone that will listen to look at. HA HA HA... I am sure they are trying to hide from the "accomplishments" and they will do whatever they can to pin those "accomplishments" on to Conservatives. A place I might add they are not totally wrong about. Had we any conservatives with b**** they would have put a stop to him before he got started.

I’m not seeing much in the way of satire here. Poking fun maybe but that’s pretty much the stance of the far Left.
