(Hawaii 12/23/08) In informal discussions today with reporters during his holiday in Hawaii, Barack Obama said that people having to work during Christmas week is yet another example in a long line of failed Bush policies.
I find it hard to believe, during the week of the biggest holiday during the year, people have to actually continue working in order to afford the things they want. According to reports, this has been the worst Christmas season in years, and the problem is, you know, people cant get to stores because they have to work. Its a testament to failed Bush policies and his reluctance to look after the working class that it has come to this. Its the fault of his abhorrent, backwards policies carefully implemented over 8 years of rule.
It may take 4 years to overcome this decent into madness, but rest assured, my following 8 years after the first 4 will correct the situation and ensure all Americans will be able to take the complete week off, with pay and insurance, to right this seriously listing ship. Look at me, Im about to take over the toughest job in the world, yet Im able to take the week off to frolic in the surf and have my picture taken. All Americans are equal, we should all have this chance.
Developing..
People worked during Christmas week during the Clinton Administration too, WOW this Obama is some kind of idiot isn’t he
LOL poor reporters being forced to go to Hawaii to work.
That’s easy to fix, Mr. President-Select...declare the whole week a national holiday...duh
Is this satire?
It should be.
It’s gonna be a long 4 years isn’t it
it is..:)
How about all those who ar working during this week to serve him and his family?
Another blatant lie from the Presidential Elect Administration (PEA). I don’t have to work the Christmas week.
What? Is he so privileged that neither he nor Big Mouth Michele ever worked during a holiday? I’d like to share that cloud 9 he’s on.
I have never heard a more stupid statement in my life. I wonder if this idiot thinks food magically appears in grocery stores????????????? His disconnect from real life is incomprehensible!
I should have asked the same question prior to posting. Absolutely, it should be.
I bet ya the next four years people will be working during xmas week, this guy is an idiot to even say something like this, is everything bushs fault or what?!
“people cant get to stores because they have to work.”
And the people at the store selling, aren’t working?
Shhh, don't tell 'em - the responses are funnier than the piece!
My mother had to work two jobs during the Carter years. She was able to quit her night job during Reagan’s first term.
What’s the penalty for slapping an Office of the President Elect?
And give everyone a pony!
OMG....this FOOL is going to be our head of state.....aaagggghhhhhhh.....who does he think delivers and sells all the CHRISTMAS presents bought this week? Santa????
OKAY...GOTME.....it is Satire.
If you only knew the half of it.
Friendly word of advice: Satire is supposed to be just that little bit divergent from reality.
Is this a joke?
If not, what is this nutcase smoking? We wives and mothers work harder during Christmas week, the weeks preceding, and the weeks following than any other time of the year!
But, if the wonderful Obama is going to pay my way to Sandals, so I can have a luscious holiday break from cooking, shopping, cleaning, mailing, decorating,shoveling, etc....
Where do I sign up, and who is going to take care of it all?
Oh ho ho ho. so The Dali Obama is going to order all business shut down for Xmas week? This man is truly an idiot.
Thanx Rats. Thanx Pubbies for giving us a loser candidate. No more excuses. Time to scrag both of these worthless Parties.
Dick Armee was right - we have become a nation of whiners. And BHO is now the Whiner in Chief, because the whiners are now in the majority. Pathetic.
It was the “you know” that made it so real.
Uh, folks, uh, this is what is called ‘satire’.
You’re so cruel. Do you know even what it’s like to have an out-of-date iPod or to have to order a small mochaccino when you really need a venti?
Peeple, peeple, read it again. The second paragraph of Zero’s alleged statements gives it away that this is satire!
Good satire or sarcasm will always give you a clue or two.
Horribly long I’m afraid.

Political Correctness Run Amok
This has got to be satire. Millions have to work this week. His own secret service has to work, his pilot and crew have to work, retail sales people have to work, warehouse and stockers have to work, supermarket employees, hotel employees, restaurant workers etc. etc. the list goes on forever.
Back in Hawaiiii Eh? Manufacturing his birth sertiphicate and looking for witnesses that he was boorn dere?? Long live kenyan-indo-neesian half black piss be upon him foreign president select bringin commie paradise to this hated falling apart kontry!! As soon as he is installed by Sorosians in the office, the sky will turn rosy and MSM will go ga ga and everything will be honky dory and we will be zinging praises to the great liberator while begging on the corner for that CHANGE (full of klintoons) we believe (riiiiight)!
There are too many holidays now!!!
If you don’t want to work, lay down and expire and quit taking up space on this planet!!
That’s right, I don’t believe that the Indonesian has time for “informal discussions today with reporters” while he’s looking on his “deceased” grandmother in the walk-in icebox in Hawaii. No siree!
no, but it’s believable, isn’t it..(or else you wouldn’t have asked..)
Obama is so out of touch and the reporters are weennies for not reporting it.
What a nut this man is. Hasn’t he ever heard of retail? Grocers?
I bet his hotel staff has to work, How about the places he eats out?
We here at Liberal Lunacy poke fun at Democrats and Liberals by inventing stories that aren’t true, but based on past actions and/or words COULD be.
Not from The Onion...but should be. He actually said that? He keeps topping the last stupid thing he said. What’s next?
All the stores should be forced to give their employees the week off so they can go shopping.
I got news for Obama people have worked during XMAS week since Jesus was born. Of course Obama never having had a real job would not know this.

I'd think most companies will give off this Thursday and Friday and next Thursday. If someone takes off four days next week, they end up with a week-and-a-half vacation. I don't think most mind working Monday through Wed. of this week for that.
Obammie the Commie continually shows that because he has never really been in the private sector that he has no idea what the private sector is like.
That is funny. Not a problem, so long as they wan to buy gas, ice and a few assorted munchies from vending machines. While it lasts.
O’bummer is a SHMUCK!
