Washington D.C.—The President’s Table: (Satire; Article I)
Obama and Fred
No Turning Back for Obama in Afghanistan war
The following article is fictional taken from facts and blended with fate and fantasy and sprinkled with humor.
My friend Fred, from Switzerland, coming from a long line of Architects and an excellent architect himself having the ability to build residential building which I call traps, I suggested to him to invite Mr. Obama to a private talk and much to surprise they both accepted. Being an architect and not in the habit of romancing things he went straight for the kill as soon as they both had sat.
Fred: What do you think the people in America want to hear, two weeks before election?
Obama: I will say what they want to hear. First I will say, “Read my lips, no more unemployment after my second term in the office,”
Fred: That sounds like what Herbert Hoover said when he was running for president during the great depression “I’ll put a chicken on every pot”
Obama: They want to hear that the withdrawal is going well and all the boys will come soon. They also want to hear that we won the war, we got what we went after. The capturing and killing of bin–Laden is what we went after. Afghanistan now is in a tip top shape.
Fred: Mr. President, are you trying to tell me that it took you almost 12 years to catch a man on the run with a bad kidney?
Obama: it was George W. Bush in charge of the chasing for the first 8 years.
Fred: I Must tell you this; I, all along, thought that Mr., George W, Bush was the worse president we ever had, and then you came along. I must congratulate you for beating him for that title.
Obama: Thank you, for the title as the worse president, I have always believed if you cannot be the best be the worse; anything in the middle is a waste of time. But how did I beat Bush? I did and am still doing what he did. I followed his footsteps. Maybe I lied a little more than him. Lying in politics is part of the job. We politicians believe in lying as long as the outcome is good, that is when the old phrase comes in “The end justifies the means”,
Fred: Mr. President we will talk about the past next time we meet. Today’s topic is about your speech three weeks before voting time But tell me, Mr. President, these boys who have come back, do they have jobs to go to.
Obama: Not all of them, but I have extended the unemployment benefits. And I am thinking once I am reelected to revive the stimulus plan. The stimulus plan was a program that created a lot of jobs
Fred: I remember that, but will still cost the American $264,000 for every $20,000 a year job?
Obama: No! It’s going to be less because we are going to hire more Muslims to handle the money. You know they are good businessmen, look how much money they make from the oil.
Fed: Hillary Clinton made a report to congress and painted such a good picture of the conditions in Afghanistan, before she finished her speech I made a call to Afghanistan embassy to send me an application for a working Visa there. I Thought that I would start selling some lots to the Americans; if they believed you they should believe me. Then I hear and read that there is a lot of corruption in Afghanistan, she never mentioned any of that in her speech. Obviously I canceled the call to the embassy for a Visa.
Obama; Miss Clinton tends to lie a little bit. But I must say that Kazai, the Afghan president is a good man
Fred: I read that the farmers have to pay the Taliban $33 for every truck of apples and other thing, that goes out of the farm, is this going to be reduced?
Obama: Oh, yes. The Taliban will be a part and parcel of the new Government, that’s my recommendation, and they will get paid from the new government.
Fred: Your plan is to bring home some of our boys and girls, but some will stay back, aren’t the ones staying back going to be in danger without the protection of the others.
Obama: Not really. They will stay in town. No more mountains for them. Like I said we got bin-Laden. Al-Qaeda now is weaker than a toothless lion and the Taliban will be our friends. Besides we will have a lot of CIAs roaming around them.
Fred: Are you still a member of the Islamic faith?
A. Oh, No. I have been a Christian now since I got that job working for a religious institute before I became Senator.
Q. You turned Christian but you change your name from Barry which resembles Christianity, right before you got involved in politics, you named yourself Barack, Why?
Obama: Barack is my birth name. My father was a Muslim. You see I am a politician and being a politician I must try to keep both sides happy.
Fred: Obviously you have lived as a Muslim and you have lived as a Christian, which religion are you more comfortable?
Obama with his parents
OBAMA: I don’t practice religion very much. Now, my mother was a good practicing Muslim, after all, she was married to two Muslims. That’s a joke. I am like George H. W. Bush. I like to joke once in a while. You remember George Bush Sr. saying “Read my lips,” he was joking
Fred: I have reviewed some of the employment application of your most important members of your administration. You have a lot of Muslims
Obama: How do you know that they are Muslims?
Fred: reviewing the applications when the question of religion came up the Muslims marked N/A and the Christians indicate that they are Christians. Are you N/A or a Christian
Obama: You see N/A means not applicable.
Fred: Having a sensitive and high security job for the USA the subject religion is not applicable while we are having a religious war with Muslims? Mr. President, give me a break. Please, sir.
Obama: Having a war with Muslims? The Muslims are having a war among themselves, I think we just caught in the middle of everything.
Fred: I’ll scratch off that statement, we’ll pick on it next Sunday if it’s okay with you. Next week we will put on the table all the promises you made and you fulfilled.
Obama: I would like to put on the table all the promises I made and I didn’t fulfill.
Fred: We won’t have enough time to do that.
Obama with a smile: Okay, Fred, I’ve got your point.
Fred: I am sorry, Mr. President, sometimes I am like George H. W. Bush, “Read my lips,” I am not lying, I am joking.
Obama: Fine with me for next Sunday; the same time the same place.
