London - President Barack Obama stunned the convened heads of state at the G-20 conference today, by announcing that his predecessor, George W. Bush, was "right in just about every one of his major policy decisions", and promised that U.S. military and economic policy would be "a continuation of Bush in all essentials".
President Obama promised to continue the mission in Iraq and Afghanistan, and in an unexpected change of heart, not only plans to keep the Guantanamo base open but expand its operations. Obama promised to cut taxes "for all tax-payers", to rescind his earlier budget proposals and pressed for an inquiry into the conduct of key Congressional leaders in allowing the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac disasters.
A stunned Associated Press correspondent spoke for most media representatives, when he asked the President, "Didn't you run on a promise of 'change'? And didn't you say electing John McCain would have led to 'Bush III'?"
President Obama agreed. "Yes, I said those things, but" - he shrugged - "I was wrong. Now that I have had a chance to see how things are working and to see who truly understands the values and history of this nation, I would have to say - at least for now - that I respect the work of my predecessor, so much so that his administration will be my template for the forseeable future."

What's the expiration date on that statement?

Oh Crap!!!
I fell for it. I wanted to believe that so bad!
And I promised myself I wouldn't fall for anything today.
Maybe next year.
Thanks, that was good.

Good thing I read the whole post! I was this close to emailing all my leftist friends with a huge "I told you so!" attached. That was too close....

Gee, folks. I knew that this post was a joke as soon as I saw its title. If you think that President Obama would admit that his predecessor was correct about anything, then I have some ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you.

Yeah, but the real joke is going to be on those Obamabots.
How's that new cigarette tax working out for the working class? Didn't The One say he'd NEVER raise a tax that would affect them?

There is a story, not an April Fool but nothing I can verify, about Jimmy Carter getting The Briefing about the real state of the world and the Soviet threat shortly after being elected. He was shaken at how much worse it was than he had believed, and worried about all the campaign promises he has made. Supposedly he decided to act on his promises instead of the reality. It does explain much of the Carter years, and given his performance after leaving office, it is hard to dismiss out of hand.

CHEEZE! NOT A POLITICAL "APRIL FOOL JOKE" THAT COULD BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND CAUSE MORE CONFUSION IN THE POLITICAL ARENA THAN WE HAVE NOW. I BELIEVE WE HAVE ENOUGH POLITICAL INFIGHTING, REPITITIOUS RHETORIC, AND FRICTIONS TODAY. WITHOUT US ADDING TO THE WARFARE OF POLITICAL FOOLS WHO SHOW THEIR WARES EVERY DAY AND DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR APRIL FOOLS DAY TO REMIND US OF A FAILING POLITICAL SYSTEM...
