WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama came out swinging Monday in his first public remarks since S&P downgrade of U.S. creditworthiness, congratulating Americans on achieving a moral victory by redistributing the unfairly gained superior AAA rating to the less fortunate and more deserving countries, some of whom don't even have an alphabet. Calling the loss of an 'A' a "shared sacrifice" and "exercise in global economic justice," Obama went on to explain that our loss is someone else's gain and that we must have less so they have more is an idea worth fighting for. "By dropping that single 'A' from our credit rating we are in effect sharing it with a needier nation - like North Korea - that now can afford to borrow more money from China in order to feed its thriving population."
Once again demonstrating his exceptional ability to feel good about himself in a time of crisis, Obama pleaded for a renewed focus on good intentions that, despite the lackluster results, have garnered much benefit to those needy Americans who run the increasingly expensive government bureaucracy.
"Let me be clear: for us to feel good about ourselves is worth every penny removed from the pockets of hard-working families and communities all across the country. This is what shared sacrifice means," the president said from the State Dining Room in remarks that were delayed more than two days because of his birthday and fundraising activities.
"My policies are based on a robust economic model: A big sinking ship raises the water level for smaller ships. And borrowing, printing, and burning trillions of dollars on massive infrastructure projects built by unemployed real estate agents and sacked mid-level managers is just what this country needs to get our common ship sinking just a little bit faster. The collapse of America will raise the volume of the waters beneath and will thus lift all previously disadvantaged ships, like North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and the new thriving democracies in the Middle East. Our shared sacrifice is good for everybody," Obama said.

Show this anti-American fraud the door -— NOW!!!
He needs to resign now.
I’m going to pay a visit to my bank today. They just turned me down for a home equity loan because, according to them, I have a credit score of only 372. whatever....
Just wait till I get hold of that lame-a$$ prick manager and set him straight that I always have been — and I always will be! — an 850 credit-score customer.
As if I ever defaulted on anything ever, at my current bank, recently, in the last couple of years or so. A $750,000 mortgage and $67,450 in credit card bills and I have never, ever, even been late on my minimum payment more than three of four times a year. And still they bitch! What can you do with people who are so unreasonable?
And I don’t need no stupid credit rating person to tell me that my bank needs to develop a more balanced approach with me vis-a-vis my $23,000/year income. Dumba$$es don’t even realize that I could make more of my payments, and some of them even on time, if only my debt service wasn’t so freaking high to begin with.
Your income would be much higher if those greedy neighbors of yours would give you “their fair share”.
Just tell the bank manager it’s all their fault.
And to show the bank how great your prospects are, go spend another $100k.
That’ll REALLY help!
'“We came from behind because we have a message. We have a message that says: One, we've had enough of the federal government. We've had enough. Two, we've had enough of the state government. And No. 3, government should be working for the people, not the people working for the government,” LePage says in the video. “And as your governor, you're gonna be seeing a lot of me on the front page saying ‘Gov. LePage tells Obama to go to hell.’'
Everyone note, this is NOT from the Onion.
