Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job

[BetIt]

WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."

LOL

from my perspective, it certainly is going to be easy to sit back and blame him for everything and anything

I hope he can control hurricanes and oil prices for starters

While most were whining about the quality of the candidates I was marveling that we could get such qualified people to put themselves and their families through this.

When I said qualified candidates I in no way ment Sarah Palin.
