Manufactured Political Distractions

Good News! Our man Obama is putting Manufactured Political Distractions (whatever they are!) “on notice.”



Well, it just so happens I know a little bit about manufacturing, so maybe I can help him out?

Distraction #1: “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright. “God Damn America” may have only hit the news a month ago, but this distraction was actually manufactured in the ‘80s when Obama started going to his church and listening to his teachings. Sorry Obama! This one’s long out of warranty!


Distraction #2: ...it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. Wow! They must have been working overtime to manufacture this one! How like Karl Rove to sneak into an ultra-liberal San Francisco fund raiser and sneak these words onto the teleprompter! How else could you explain it?

Take this one back to the customer service desk and tell them that “One size doesn’t fit all” in the U.S.!


Distraction #3: That pesky lying Clinton! (Doesn’t matter which one!) I think this is another situation where the public has overlooked so many whoppers from both of these people that every time the truth makes a corkscrew landing under heavy sniper fire, nobody seems to notice. America: You broke it, you bought it!


Looking back, I’m not so sure that the distractions were manufactured as much as the candidate! What’s the return policy on him???
