Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail


WASHINGTON—Having admittedly "reached the end of [his] rope," President Barack Obama sent a rambling 75,000-word e-mail to the entire nation Wednesday, revealing deep frustrations with America’s political culture, his presidency, U.S. citizens, and himself.

Funny stuff.

According to its timestamp, the e-mail was sent at 4:26 a.m.

"Hey Everyone," read the first line of the president's note, which at 27 megabytes proved too large for millions of Americans' in-boxes. "I'm writing to you because I need to clear up some important issues. First and foremost, I want to say that this has nothing to do with the midterm elections because I was going to send an e-mail regardless of the outcome. However, I guess one could argue that, in the end, the midterms are an important measure of a president's overall success, though I wouldn't go so far as to call the results a referendum. Legislatively, I feel I've had a lot of success that I think history will judge quite favorably. I mean, pretty much every modern president has seen his party lose seats during a midterm, you know?

"Anyway," the e-mail continued.

A 150-page printout confirms that while Obama's points are generally cogent in the first quarter of the message, the increasingly chaotic spacing, multiple spelling errors, and near total lack of commas rendered the later portions almost impossible to parse.

Sounds like some of our posters. PUI?

Really? It wouldn't surprise me. The whole $200M/day fiasco was a clear indication that we don't have legitimate news sources anymore, only tabloids.

What is this obsessive need you have to lie and insult people? Hell it is almost as bad as your need to apologize for being white.

Bluesguy got me started with his 34 warship thread.
No apologies needed for being a white guy, intelligent, maybe (Nah).
I feel sorry for some of you here.

I never claimed to believe that story, but I did make a comment that supported it, but that was meant to be on a humorous note.

Dude, if you are going to backpedal like that, make sure you check your rear view mirror.
