Obama Wins Powerball


President Obama's Powerball ticket matched all six numbers this week, and he will walk away with the entire $180 million jackpot. The president purchased his winning $1 ticket at a QuickieMart in Georgetown where he had stopped in for coffee. He will now have to decide to either take the 29-year, 30-installment annuity, or the one time cash "lump sum" amount of $101,160,403. A spokesperson for Mr. Obama said that the president plans to keep his job and doesn't think the winnings will drastically change his life. He said the president will pay some bills and put the rest in the bank for now, and "maybe buy a Harley." Some political columnists have reacted negatively to the news, saying it "cheapens" the Powerball lottery, and that some out-of-office conservatives could have really used that prize right about now.

I heard Judd Gregg is complaining about how Obama's playing the lottery is unprofessional for an elected official.

Glenn Greenwald thinks its ironic that Obama would win the lottery given that he, Glenn Greenwald, is more deserving.

I do not know why this strikes me as sooooooo funny--and it appears I am not alone. hahahaha

Let me tell you, the Democrats desperately needed some luck. hahahahahaha. It was the Party that won the lottery when they found him.

Sure, you can say: Hey in 2011 people are going to despise him as much as w, I DONT THINK SO.
