‘First Good News I’ve Had Since I Nailed bin Laden,’ President Says
http://www.borowitzreport.com/2011/09/08/obama-best-debate-ever/WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – A jubilant President Barack Obama said that tonight’s Republican forum was “the best debate ever,” calling it “the first good news I’ve had since I nailed bin Laden.”
Mr. Obama watched the debate surrounded by advisors in the White House Situation Room, where the mood was said to be tense “up until the first time Rick Perry opened his mouth.”
“I’m not a big TV watcher,” Mr. Obama said, “but that debate had to be the most entertaining two hours I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing.”
Mr. Obama confirmed that he had DVRd the debate for future screenings at the White House, which tonight was the site of a spectacular fireworks display in the moments after the debate’s conclusion.
Among the debate’s highlights, Texas Gov. Rick Perry surpassed expectations when he remembered his wife’s name.
But the most startling moment came when businessman Herman Cain answered a question about a nuclear Iran by saying, “Before approving an attack on Iran, I would Google Iran.” More here.
