Barack the quarterback

Team Obama kicked off the 2012 Super Duper Bowl with quarterback Barack’s re-election campaign speech masked as the State of the Union address. While making notes in the margins of the 6,800-word address, it became painfully clear that Team Obama will employ the same duping and hollow strategy that was a 2008 winner. They’ll use QB Barack’s ultimate weapon: convincing rhetoric, otherwise known as talking the talk.

The strategy uses only one play, the long pass. QB Barack throws the ball as high and as far as he can. Voting spectators become mesmerized with the ball’s spiral. As it spins through the air, the spectators pass over the 2008 Super Duper Bowl’s unfulfilled promises, pass over Obama’s three-year record of non-efforts on behalf of those devastated by the Great Deception, pass over the free passes bestowed upon Team Obama’s Wall Street culprits and benefactors, and pass over the truths regarding the declining state of America and American’s increasing disgust with the president, Congress and the Supreme Court.

When voting spectators catch on and question QB Barack’s spinning sentences, he’ll dismiss them as naysayers. He’ll rant on with more promises and say that in order to complete the work he set out to do three years ago, he’ll need four more years.

So, who will Team Obama root for in the 2012 Super Bowl? Yes, the New York Giants, the team of Wall Street, and don’t be surprised if you see you know who cheering on the sidelines, talking the talk.
