Poll May Lead to Campaign Strategy Shift

A recent National Geographic poll showing that Americans think President Obama would do better against an invasion from outer space than rival Mitt Romney has Obama campaign strategists thinking.

“When you think about it, isn't protecting the planet from being conquered by space monsters the most important thing that any person could do?” mused Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod. “And can there be any doubt that the President would easily outshine anyone else on such a task? After all, remember, he's the one who killed bin-Laden. On the other hand, there's no evidence that Romney has ever killed anyone.”

Axelrod admitted that he was “unsure of how we can best exploit this. Maybe we can use a a clip from the Independence Day movie showing Will Smith punching out that alien. I don't think it would be hard for voters to imagine President Obama doing the same thing in real life. I have also seen reports that giant alien space craft are headed toward Earth. Maybe the President can make a speech or hold a press conference to help call voters attention to this possible danger and his superior fitness for dealing with it.”

“At the very least, this type of existential threat could make all the other campaign issues seem petty,” Axelrod added. “After all, losing your job, having your house foreclosed, and being forced to buy health insurance would have to be considered minor inconveniences compared to being vaporized by death rays from outer space.”

Are we sure this is satire? It would not surprise me if the Dems decided to attack Romney as “The Candidate From Planet Kolob”...

[ConservativeStatement]

I'm reminded of the Frasier episode in which Fraiser did a TV spot in support of a politician who later claimed he was once abducted by aliens.

(glorious narcissist/supreme gay being :) "the Won" mindset and his personality cultists.
..there you go again, too close to reality. 8-)

Maybe it isn’t an invasion at all. Maybe it’s a rescue mission (Obama, the illegal alien)

[almcbean]

You left some unanswered questions:

1. Would he bow to their leader?
2. Are they covered under Obamacare?
3. Would he try to register them without proper voter ID?
4. Would the Republicans try to throw all the old aliens off the cliff?

I’d be happy with him leading the effort if his fate was the same as POTUS (played by Jack Nicholson) in the movie “Mars Attacks!”

[ReformationFan]

The Dems will probably use this idea eventually.

Left out a few more Obama killings:300+ Mexicans in Fast and Furious(plus collateral damage- one Border Agent.)

John, it’s been so long since I’ve found anything to laugh about with this administration. Thank you so much for the ping.
