Mr. Obama, we’re worried about your daughter!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Obama:

Thank you for stopping by the parent-teacher conference.

I’m sorry to have to report that while she is very bright, your daughter seems to be living in her own fantasy world. She has told the class that her father is going to be President, and that she is moving to the White House. Oh sure, and I’m Rumpelstiltskin!

Some of her classmates seem to believe her, although of course I discourage them. As if that President concoction isn’t bad enough, she even says she was onstage with Bruce Springsteen!

Sorry to have to tell you this, and I’m sure the school psychologist can help her. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the flowers, Mrs. Obama. When’s the last time anybody gave you ROSES?

Escape reality. Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

Is it better to have your president spend 8 years murdering the English language and constantly appear on late night blooper reels. It is a welcome change to have an educated person in the white house. Loosing sucks huh, maybe you should pray to Jesus about it.

I have said this before and will have to say it again, I guess. In case you hadn’t noticed, all you people acting like this is real news, this is a humorous site, it is supposed to be funny and some of us do find it funny or at least amusing. Please, if you have no sense of humor, go elsewhere for your news, or at least keep your comments to your selves. So, Bill R, enough, ndm, go away and let us enjoy our little laughs. We get so few of them anymore.

I am and have been for Obama for quite some time, however, I do not think McCain is a half-wit except for his choice for VP. I think either of them would have been at least reasonably ok Presidents, but I believe McCain would not have been our President for very long, and then Palin would have been our President, which scares the hell out of me!

To ninur,

You stated,
“Mavbe “Enough” forgot that right-wingers just Love to shoot liberals ( civil-rights workers/leaders, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Malcolm X, MLK jr. ) ”

I hate to tell you this, but JFK was killed by a communist sympathiser(leftist)
The civil rights workers were normally killed by the Klan. The KKK was started as a terrorist org of the democratic party and is pretty much filled with southern democrats.

More liberal fawning. Get ready for four years of it, non-stop. The Anointed One and his family can do no wrong.
