In Latest Compromise with GOP, Obama Agrees He is a Muslim

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – In his latest effort to find common ground with Republicans in Congress, President Barack Obama said today that he was willing to agree that he is a Muslim.
Differences over his religious orientation have been a sore point between the President and his Republican foes for the past two years, but in agreeing that he is a Muslim Mr. Obama is sending a clear signal that he is trying to find consensus.

 This is Borowitz at his best, but is it good enough for this?

Dear Barry, A Reply to Barry 'n Me

Barrack~

When we began this journey three years ago, you said there would be jobs for me and my buddies. We are still waiting, but we're kind of old (50's). Could you see if someone could pick up the pace?

I really admire the way you have squared off against those entrenched special interests, like Van Jones, Shirley Sherrod and Elizabeth Warren. That will show the Republicans, Wall Street and corporate America who is the Boss.

They have stacked the deck, and I'm shifting the odds? How?

I am very impressed that you can sign your name Barry, but what happened to the 15% cap on credit card interest? Backbone problem?

I can tell you Barry, I'm not feeling all that historically significant. Maybe you could legalize marijuana or those Latino brothers and sisters we have been exploiting. That would be historic.

$5? Reread the first paragraph, please.

I'm all about eliminating fine print, with my old eyes.

I guess if you create some new agencies, you might have to cut back on the bailouts. Can't have everything, right?

Private sector job growth? That's a stretch, Barry.

Enough with the foundation references. What am I, a mason?

I like that victory and ending the fight thing. Could we try it in Afghanistan?

The hostage and politics thing is kind of confusing. I'm supposed to support your politics and accept a shitty health bill and an irrelevant financial regulation bill? Well, you the prez.

All in all, I'm going to stand with you, Barry. But you can forget the fucking $5, buddy.

20 Billion Just Sounds Big

20 billion over 4 years divided amongst how many people?

The coastal population of the five states of the Gulf of Mexico is projected by the Census Bureau to increase from a total of 44.2 million in 1995 to an estimated 61.4 million in 2025, nearly a 40% increase. Texas and Florida are the most rapidly growing states.

According to BLS statistics for May 2010, %65 of the population participated in the civilian labor force. 44,200,000 x .65=28,730,000. Just a little more math: 5,000,000,000/44,2000,000= $ 174.03 per person per year. If only %10 of the work force is impacted, this amounts to a whopping $ 1740.30 per person per year. Tony Hayward and Small People Svanberg are celebrating their risk abatement policies.

Every month Tony Hayward retains his job he is compensated almost $ 390,000.00.

Every month Carl Svanberg retains his job he is compensated almost $ 221,032.00.

20 billion dollars is not going to be the final tally. Who thinks BP will survive this fiasco and pay that bill?

So 'Long, Sarah

Steve Pendlebury has the facts on The Grid. The entire Washington Post-ABC News poll can be found here. A quick read indicates Mr. Obama is having job evaluation problems. A few hundred other folks are, too:

3. Do you approve or disapprove of the way the U.S. Congress is doing its job?

Most of US want the rubes in Dizzy City to continue working on healthcare reform. 2/3 of US are dissatisfied with the operation of the federal government. Wow. Sarah Palin is not presidential material, but a real populist outsider might be. Americans are pissed off, for sure.
