President Obama took issue with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's portrayal of a country in crisis, calling it "dangerously skewed from reality."
"By highlighting a few incidents of terrorist attacks Mr. Trump overlooks the fact that only a small minority of people die at the hands of these misguided individuals," Obama asserted. "The reality is that the vast majority of people in this country still die of old age. A more sensible approach was voiced by French Prime Minister Manuel Valls who calmly advised that we learn to live with these attacks."
"Trump's call for 'law and order' undermines my Administration's efforts to seek a more equitable balance in our penal system," the President complained. "His narrow focus on apprehending and punishing perpetrators of crimes would have a racially disparate impact on minorities. It completely ignores the crimes committed against Blacks during slavery that went unpunished and lets the descendants of those criminals escape retribution. Ideally, this retribution should come from the government, but can we really blame those tired of waiting for the government to take action?"
"Then there's all his harping about the suffering of the middle class," Obama added. "The middle class doesn't appreciate how good they have it. Most of the people around the world have far worse lives. They live in ramshackle buildings, often have too little to eat, and live under corrupt dictators. Opening our borders to them is an act of compassion and social justice. Sharing in the wealth that our country has been blessed with is their human right. Those who vote for Trump will be voting to deny them this right."
"Fortunately, voters will have an opportunity to continue the progress I have made during my time in office by electing Secretary Hillary Clinton this November," the President urged. "Not only has she pledged to stay the course, there is also the very real possibility that she will enable me to carry on the revolution by appointing me to a seat on the Supreme Court. The journey doesn't have to end. It can live beyond January if voters make the right choice this Fall."
In related news, a release of 20,000 hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee by Wikileaks detailed how supposedly impartial Party officials worked to stifle Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign against insider-favorite Hillary Clinton. DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz defended the biased process, arguing that "the fate of the nation is too important to leave to chance. We could not sit by idly and permit a nobody like Sanders to derail the most qualified person in our history from her destiny to rule America."

Obama’s brain is skewed...
It’s hard to do satire about a president who is capable of such gross anti-Americanism.
Yeah, do we need satire with a president and dem party that’s this bad when the truth is even more damning?
Trumps vision of America Dangerously Skewed.
Obama’s vision of America is to make her Dangerously Screwed

Apologies to Charlie Daniels.
Obama’s relevance rivals the Dixie Chicks.
You just stated liberals' exact reason for wanting unlimited immigration. You are the only one I've seen to date who has said it directly. Liberals will never say it openly themselves. That we know.
LYING OBAMA
CROOKED HILLARY
Now we know who has been sifting through those 22k emails LOL
Hard to tell where the satire begins
