Obama Really IS Made of Unicorns and Magic!
Posted by Dave Mandell | No CommentsSo far President Obama seems to have done more in a few days than former president Bush (man, those words in that order just feel right, huh?) accomplished in his first year. In a rarely seen political move, Obama has actually kept true to his word and signed the directive to close Gitmo and limit the army and CIA’s ability to torture prisoners, a promise many felt he wouldn’t fulfill. His administration is already hard at work attacking the current economic apocalypse, moves that harsher critics might point out the Bush Administration could have been making for the past three months. He has also reversed several unpopular Bush administration policies, including striking down the pre-suffragette throwback abortion funds policy (though the policy did warn that if he were to strike it down, it would become more powerful than he could possibly imagine) late Friday afternoon.
So while one could conceivably point out that the man is being scrutinized far beyond any reasonable measure, most Americans do have to admit that, after 8 years of Bush, it’s just nice to have a President who is actually fucking doing something.
It is rumored that his next move could very well be to overturn the Bush Administration’s highly controversial “Babyback Ribs Act”, in which orphans who have not found homes by age 9 are harvested for their delicious, delicious meat.
