Obama Legally Changes Name To Abraham Lincoln
Today, in an early
morning press conference, President-elect Barack Obama announced that he has legally
changed his name to Abraham Lincoln. "It is no secret that I am a
great admirer of Abraham Lincoln. I have implemented his "Team of Rivals", I have followed his train
route, and I am to be sworn in on his Bible. Naming myself Abraham
Lincoln was the next logical step in the transition," stated Obama.
Obama continued,
"In the next few days, my administration will lay forth a plan to further
my transformation, including my monthly projected beard growth. I have
reached my hand across the aisle, and now I shall reach my hand back in
time."
David Plouffe,
Obama's campaign manager, says, "There can now be no doubt that Barack
Obama will be remembered as one of the greatest Presidents of all time.
All Americans can be a part of this historical transformation by sending a
donation of $100.00 or more."
Critics of the
name change say that Obama has gone too far.
"Abraham
Lincoln? Are you kidding me?" responded radio host Rush Limbaugh. "I
mean, come on! I enjoy snacks, but you don't see me changing my name to Hostess
Twinkie!"
The Inauguration
Swearing-in Ceremony for the politician formerly known as Barack Obama begins
tomorrow at 11:30a.m. EST.
Does that mean Obama will be switching to the republican party too?

That just sounds unAmerican! He should have his middle name changed to something more representative of our country. Like Abraham
Bailout Lincoln.

I think Rush would do better to change his name to a Hoho.

Bah! I meant Hoho, of course.

Isn't Coulter the Hoho? Maybe we shoudl just call him the hostess with the mostest.

Whatever. As long as the analogies do not go so far as we should expect seven states to secede from the Union within the next couple of weeks and military hostilities breaking out with them by April. Don't know about you, but I am not looking forward to a recreation of that part of Lincoln's first term.

Toadie, even the lunch is Lincoln themed. This may be venturing into Single White Female territory. Just sayin' :)

Exactly! Its weirding me out a little. I hope all the Lincoln stuff drops after the inauguration.

Sorry Rush, the name "Hostess Twinkie" was already taken by Sean Hannity.
