On Monday, I was sitting at work joking with some co-workers about Obama's national energy policy. We laughed about how he could pretty much say any really obvious common knowledge statement, and it would hailed as a brilliant plan. I couldn't shake the thought all day.
So when I got home Monday, I completely fabricated an Associated Press Release style post that Obama came up with a national health car plan "Diet & Exercise".
The purpose was to illustrate the absurdity of Obama's 'national energy plan' of inflating tires, by saying the solution to all our health care problems is diet and exercise. It was meant to be fun and humorous.
Instead, socialist idiots came to support it and decry McCain on it, while others came to mock Obama for it. The post in my view was even more of a success than I had envisioned. Instead of being just funny, it showed that Obama's policies are so obvious and lame, that you actually can't distinguish them from a completely fabricated joke.
I'm not sure how anyone thought this to be a serious post since I cited "Dr. Ofveus" or Dr. Obvious. And of course a complete socialist Obama would never even refer to, much less understand, a "free-market, capitalist, competition-for-customers" system. And of course at the end "Borrow Less" solution to bankruptcy, and a solution to hunger plan called "food".
No one was supposed to be fooled by this thread. But in retrospect, clearly since Obama's plans are of the same quality, I should have realized that people would be fooled.
Fear not, it wasn't a waste. I spread the news of this thread around the office today, and we all got many laughs from it.
