CNN Political Ticker Humor

I’m not one to usually post third-party comments from another site, but this is too funny.  Earlier today, CNN ran on the Political Ticker site the following message:

TITLE:  Obama to make a statement

SUBJECT:  President Obama will make a statement Monday morning at the Kaneohe Marine Base in Hawaii.  The exact time is not yet known.

That’s it.  No context was provided by the news organization.  Just a simple announcement that the President was going to make a statement.  This obviously left a lot of room for people to poke fun at both CNN and the President (including myself).  The following are some of the better comments:

La Chatte:  Wow, more real news from CNN.

Padraig:  Can’t wait. Oh boy, chills are running down my spine

strong:  Make a statement about what??? C’mon CNN, is this news?  National Enquiror is more specific.

DSC:  Can’t wait to miss that!

Bren:  Whew–I know that I feel better now that Obama is “going to make a statement” (in other words, Obama is going to read the words from the telemprompter).  I will feel even more assured/secure–If Obama writes a “strongly worded letter” as well.

DL in VA:  In other news, I will make a statement in Virginia, at some time tomorrow over a topic that will be announed later. Please save the date.

Bedtime for Obonzo:  Apology alert!

Gale:  Yep, gotta get that teleprompter fired up!

goofy:  With bated breath we shall await the Messiahs utterance and then swoon in its brilliance!

U.S. Common Sense:  WOOHOO!!! I can’t wait!!!  Wait a second. A statement on what? Something important, or did he just realize he hasn’t had any face time on tv recently?  “Today, I walked around in my swim trunks on the beach while much of the nation is currently covered in snow. I do this so I can stress the importance of global warming while highlighting the plight of the unemployed.”

ck:  “I am concerned…. and its all Bush’s fault”

Silence Dogoode:  Could you be a little MORE vague CNN?  was he made an honorary judge on American Idol?

This is just a sample of the 30 comments on the site.  What makes this even more funny is that the site usually has more Obama supporters than detractors.  I guess people are needing a little break in all of the seriousness.  Enjoy!
