Total. Melt. Down.
You'd never hear the end of it. Every news outlet in the world would be screaming about it at the top of their lungs. It would knock every other story right off the front pages.
Every comedy show on television would make it their centerpiece. Every comic would build their monolog around it.
Allusions to it would show up in movies, in songs, on Broadway.
It would be a lie that would be tied around the Republican President's neck. And his VP, and his wife, and any Republican that came after him. It would be "potatoe" times a thousand.
The press wouldn't be satisfied with the story as is.
They'd be tracking down roommates, neighbors, delivery men, the telephone guy, the cable guy, the landlord, the guy who fixed their furnace.
But because it's Obama... oh, well. Every president lies. Lies are a good thing.
My cousin Millard has been with Pinkerton in DC for 30 years! It's well known that Obama isn't even an American citizen - that's why the press can't go after him about it.
