Obama Faxes in Farewell Address from Golf Course
My Fellow Americans:
Let me be clear from the outset: change isn’t easy. And it won’t happen overnight. Here’s the deal: there will be setbacks and false starts. To win the future requires shared sacrifice. No more flying solo — that’s not who we are. That’s the politics of fear and we’re better than that. We are greater together.
Now, on Friday noon, I will no longer be your president but a private citizen which, in any event, is a false choice. In addition to spending time with my family and charity work, I look forward to some golf, where I can take the unlimited mulligans which characterized my presidency.
Thank you and good night.
Fore!

Well done. I could hear it in his voice. David the Speechwriter Deeble has a new occupation.
Hahaha “the unlimited mulligans which characterized my presidency.”

LOL Lesserson!
This was the best thing since sliced bread! The whole nine yards. Your cliches are cool as a cucumber Mr. Deeble! The cat’s meow.
The clichés are spot on, but personal pronouns only appear six times. Obama would work in at least ten more …
Just kidding, David. Well done.
Lesserson, I didn’t know you had a tuxedo.
That’s not a Tuxedo. He’s wearing white tie and tails.
Arahant, same church different pew.
The cut and paste presidency
Oh, dear. Bet you don’t get invited back to many white tie events. ;^D
I don’t get invited the first time.
i still attend though.
Oh, and if only it was true… :(
What, no “right side of history”?
That’s a pretty bold omission, there.
Only for special occasions.
Arahant, you are wrong. I get invited I just don’t go. More of a cutoff and flip flop kind of guy. I even have been know to swill a beer or two as well.
Boss Mongo – Not sure how I missed that one. Thanks for pointing out the glaring omission.
Got a plethora of chortles out of this thread. Y’all have restored my faith in Ricochet.
(Oh, that? It was just something about some poll of Ricochet readers. I’ve really forgotten all about it now.)
(After all, 5.9% is less than the proportion of Jesus’s disciples who were Judas Iscariot.)
(But really, my faith is restored and I have forgotten all about that other thing.)
Don’t take the Ricochet monthly poll too seriously. Ever since Max made it so I couldn’t write in David Deeble, I have been choosing the worst possible candidate instead of the best. It’s a protest vote.
Wittily excellent as always, David!
It’s that ‘charity work’ of his that worries me a little.
It should, cause you don’t think he’s going to use his money do you?
So is it now President Biden?
Oh no.
DD,
This constitutes the expertise of the entire Obama Administration. It’s nice to know they are experts in something.
Regards,
Jim
From your keyboard to God’s ear!
It would be nice to hear this and believe it was true. But I suspect that we will never be rid of this guy. I look for him to weigh in on every issue, constantly talking down to us and having teachable moments as he continues to rile up the identity politics all the while running his own private “charity” that will make the Clintons look like pikers.
Pencilvania – “Charity work” was just a rhythmic aid as I, too, more or less faxed this one in.
and you might have considered: “now my greatest aspiration–being the worst president in living memory–is to become the worst ex-president in living memory.”
And he’ll be talking down from the post of General Secretary of the UN. What better than to do for the world what he’s done for us? Also, he gets to live in the one US location that’s Left wing-cosmopolitan enough for him: de Blasio’s Manhattan. He refuses to call it ‘radical Islamic terrorism’ because of votes in the UN General Assembly, not because he actually believes would-be jihadists are exquisitely tuned-in to the phraseology employed by Presidents and Secretaries of State.
I can live with him running the UN. I just hope to keep “the greatest constitutional lawyer of our time” from becoming a member of SCOTUS.
