With only a few
days remaining in the
ACA's open
enrollment period, time is running out for
President Obama to
enslave Americans with his socialist
health care coverage.
Much to the delight of Death Panel advocates, thus far, Obamacare's pool of enrollees has skewed older than originally projected.
And so, in an effort to reach the "Young Invincibles" considered crucial to his plan's success, Obama answered some planted questions from comedian Zach Galifianakis.
Although I'm not a presidential scholar like Bill O'Reilly, I find it impossible to believe that Abraham Lincoln would've agreed to do an interview like this while Confederate General Robert E. Lee was watching.
But, really, the worst part of the whole unmajestic episode is that the president wasn't even as funny as Galifianakis' previous guest, Canadian menace Justin Bieber.
In my humble opinion, Obama shouldn't quit his day job.

Elsewhere...
Rep. Michele Bachmann was critical of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer for buckling under the gay pressure.
"There's nothing about gays in [Arizona SB 1062], but the gay community decided to make this their measure," Bachmann said in a radio interview last week. "And the thing that I think is getting a little tiresome is the gay community have so bullied the American people and they have so intimidated politicians that politicians fear them and they think they get to dictate the agenda everywhere. Well, not with the Constitution you don't."
Meanwhile...
Birther Pat Boone alleged that President Obama put him on his enemies list.
"We're obviously being targeted," said the 79-year-old singer, actor and writer. "This is still America, where people can still meet in their homes and talk freely. But conservatives like myself are being singled out by the Obama administration."
"Obama is the boss and they are doing things under his aegis. The administration is trying to intimidate people and ridicule anyone who does not agree with them."
But wait, there's more...
It seems that routinely tweeting "Obama is a pussy" (among other things) is enough to get you banned from a presidential event in Obama's America.
A social studies teacher at a Florida high school is claiming that his "right to free speech" was violated when school administrators barred him from a recent appearance of President Barack Obama.
Coral Reef Senior High teacher Randall Scott had said that he "would rather dine in Hell with Satan" than shake the president's hand, and described himself as a "virulent anti-Communist and hater of Obamanism."
Scott told his side of the story in a letter he posted on Instagram. "I'm a conservative Republican who uses social media to express my views," he wrote. "At the last two faculty meetings our principal had strongly advised us not to post anything. As a citizen of this great country I chose to ignore her advise [sic] which now in retrospect seems more like a veiled threat."
"The next day," he continued, "I'm suddenly excluded from a presidential event."
Boo! Hiss!
