@sagajagan True,but the Prime Minister is referred to as President,and the one who offered Obama this internship will go down as one,actuall the worst in history,which may explain a few things,and yes people I do know what the Onion is.
@Conway79 Dear USA, my time with your presidential candidate, Barack Obama has finished, and I am happy to say that he is good and prepared to lead your United States of America, if he is elected. During his time here, Mr Obama completed various tasks and exercises. Included in these tasks were archiving, photocopying and giving shoulder massages. If he was to become president, I am confident in saying that he is capable of performing these tasks. *continued*
@Conway79 *continued* When he started in my office, I never imaged he could reach the level he is at now. The best of luck to you and him in the next term of office.
I've missed out a few bits that were just unintelligible, it seems like they used an online translator to create the letter, or deliberately wrote it to look that way.
*I know this is fake* Gotta get that out there first! BUT Spain has a 20% unemployment rate and under Obama we have reached 10% so I can't help but laugh at the well chosen country for Obama to intern in!.
I don't know but would assume they are some form of a socialist state as well?
Obama was born in kenya, forged united states birth certificate, keeps lying about it, abused narcotic drugs, had gay sex while married to woman, conspired in deliberate swine flu release, made false promises to become president which he hasn’t done anything about, didn’t end the wars, didn’t end al qaeda, was funded by Saudi money, didn’t declare amount of funds raised for campaign, takes vacations on taxpayer money, hates white people, is a psycho, he killed his grandmother.
@eroftlf At first I was like, what the fuck is talking about, but as I read on I burst out laughing. You're either Joad Cressbeckler or this is a joke
If you actually look at polls on TV, many of them don't add up to 100%. There's rounding, polling error margins, standard deviation and a few other fine print disclaimers that really make the numbers meaningless if you think about them. Polls are the most fucking pointless things in the history of news.
Can somebody please translate the letter of recommendation for me? This is the Onion-- their attention to detail is so good, that I would bet money that whatever it translates to is hysterical.
My time with your presidential candidate Barack Obama has ended and I'm happy to say he is convenient and prepared to run your united states of America, if he is your choice

The problem isn't his lack of experience so much, which is unprecedented in modern times, but his whacked out worldview and refusal to listen to the American public.
BAHAHAHA, ah Eric you are my boi. And I do not know this Aaron fellow, but he's sounds pretty legit as well. But hey, liberals may control our government now, but at least us conservatives will always have truth and reason on our side.

Ha, yeah...sigh..the degradation of our society is clearly shown by the stupidity of all of those who get angry at these videos rather than laughing, as they should. It is a satire. A lampoon.

And I suppose you think Bush, who had his daddy bail him out of every fuck up he ever made, was an alcoholic for most of his life, was governor of one of the states with the weakest executive branch's, and who invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, was somehow qualified to be president.
Actually they were right because the offical title for the Spanish head of the executive is President of the Government and he is addressed as President -in Italy is the same thing and in both cases they are not Head of State.
And how Spain wouldn't need a trade pact with Portugal because they're both part of the EEA. They have to be more clever to fool as many people as possible!
It looks like it was sent through google translate, so it's hard to tell what some parts are supposed to mean. In the list of his duties, it says he filed papers, made photocopies, and went to the massages of the post office and shoulder, whatever that is supposed to mean. And so the minister is confident that Obama will be able to do these tasks as President.
I think a lot of people missed the point of this video. This is actually a pro Obama video. The satire in this is showing how ludicrous it is that everyone's chief criticism of Obama is that he lacks experience. How can someone have presidential experience if he/she has never been a president before?
Its still a valid point. He was a "community leader" which I don't know all the details of and a senator from Illinois for 2 whole years. whoop de do.
I can understand him being an ambassador, be it a secretary or on the foreghn relations board for the senate.
As far as I know he did neither. Other politicians had more experience

Jokes are done to demean and discredit the victim. That is all this cabal is for!!! They frame The Onion as comedic enterprise, but it is merely propaganda like Fox News to insult and make fun off the forward thinkers of the world. It spreads all over You Tube and the internet and morons laugh it up the whole time. But you are all being brainwashed to think that liberalism is moronic and something to laugh at.
actually, SnubbyJoe, you're sort of making liberalism sound like something moronic-- don't be so naive, you poorly represent your party. I'm in no position to say whether liberalism is "good" or "bad", but you certainly don't make it seem all too great with your hasty judgement and lack of proper reasoning.
Aaron0271, I am of firm belief that the liberal party is based on hasty judgement and lack of proper reasoning. Hence, Obama writing a complete healthcare reform and telling us to pass it right NOW. Hence, Obama sending more troops over to Iraq, when he said during his campaign that he would not do that. Hence, our economy not improving at all from what our President and Congress have done. With a government controlled completely by liberals, we're in trouble.
Hmm, you make a good point. To be honest I don't see why someone would WANT to be liberal, since it is a rather skeptical and biased viewpoint-- but I suppose that is just my experience with individuals; perhaps there is more to it than that. Obama isn't doing too great of a job, but I hope and pray that it is because he needs more time. I may not agree with his policies, but it is still my job as an American to try to support him, I suppose. :-/
The only reason anybody would want to be liberal is because they are lazy and want money handed to them so they don't have to work. I'm not being biased, just using common sense. I agree, I fully support Obama, and I want him to succeed. However I don't want him to succeed in the things he has done so far. If you get the chance to read the Rolling Stone article on him in one of the recent magazines. I already didn't like him, but the article opened my eyes to what he has been doing so far.
Actually they are making fun of Obama because people were criticizing him for being to young or inexperienced to lead. If you listened they said that Clinton didn't need to take classes because she was old. So this was defending Obama.
Don't be taken in by this lie. They are not defending President Obama. They hide behind humor, but they are trying to destroy the man. This is nothing less than sedition! People like you laugh it up, but ignore what is really happening, and because of people like you stay silent, the anti-Obama racists are continuing their bash fest. Don't be a problem, but part of the solution.
@SnubbyJoe: This was posted in the midst of the presidential race (Oct 2008) and if you look at other videos from The Onion you'll notice that they make blatant attacks at McCain too. Don't get so uptight, dude.
They were actually making fun of the critics who claim he lacks experience. And took a shot at the people who don't say the same for McCain because "He's old."

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. Isaiah 61:1

Oh ok, yeah I took on a second job seeking God's will. I umpire baseball games as a New York State official (fourth year now I think). I keep a cool head at the games and am able to avoid confrontations (despite the argumentative nature of the job) and God has allowed me to keep it and seek His will, even while working games.
I voted for Obama and now I'm sorry I did. I thought he'd be different. I thought he'd go to Washington and take charge. I thought he'd take on the old school politicians and run our country more efficiently. He lied to all of us. I'm disgusted with him. I'll never vote for him again.
Canada's health care system is socialist, no doubt about it. The Medicaid system in America leads to so much waste and corruption in the government. It's just disgusting!
Michael moore is an idiot. its a completely biased view and there is a ton of it that is misleading in some ways. Don't get me wrong i don't completely disagree with everything he says just its a biased view, but I guess what isn't bias these days.
eh the last thing i would ever say is a mainstream media not being bias in some form or another. The 2008 election is a good election with how they ignore independent parties and only focus on the 2 mainstream parties....which we really didnt get much of a choice with...
Moore's view is completely biased, but I don't think he presents it as anything else. He's not a journalist, he's a film maker. I think the definition of "opinion" pretty much includes bias, and his movies reflect his opinions.
Wow you guys down there who go on hate trips over Canada's health care system... let me tell you something...
THERE IS A REASON WHY PREGNANT WOMEN IN CANADA DO NOT OFTEN TRAVEL INTO THE STATES. If they went into labor early and had to give birth in the States, they would lose their life savings!
Wait times are not like they're made out to be by your wicked anti-worker American government propaganda. We don't believe that rich people are the only ones who should have access to health care.
There was a boy named Charlie and he was a smart man. He was killed by an assassain on April 12th, 1975 at the age of 14.

actually, SnubbyJoe, you're sort of making liberalism sound like something moronic-- don't be so naive, you poorly represent your party. I'm in no position to say whether liberalism is "good" or "bad", but you certainly don't make it seem all too great with your hasty judgement and lack of proper reasoning.
Aaron2071 2 years ago
Aaron0271, I am of firm belief that the liberal party is based on hasty judgement and lack of proper reasoning. Hence, Obama writing a complete healthcare reform and telling us to pass it right NOW. Hence, Obama sending more troops over to Iraq, when he said during his campaign that he would not do that. Hence, our economy not improving at all from what our President and Congress have done. With a government controlled completely by liberals, we're in trouble.

Hmm, you make a good point. To be honest I don't see why someone would WANT to be liberal, since it is a rather skeptical and biased viewpoint-- but I suppose that is just my experience with individuals; perhaps there is more to it than that. Obama isn't doing too great of a job, but I hope and pray that it is because he needs more time. I may not agree with his policies, but it is still my job as an American to try to support him, I suppose. :-/
Aaron2071 2 years ago
The only reason anybody would want to be liberal is because they are lazy and want money handed to them so they don't have to work. I'm not being biased, just using common sense. I agree, I fully support Obama, and I want him to succeed. However I don't want him to succeed in the things he has done so far. If you get the chance to read the Rolling Stone article on him in one of the recent magazines. I already didn't like him, but the article opened my eyes to what he has been doing so far.

Actually they are making fun of Obama because people were criticizing him for being to young or inexperienced to lead. If you listened they said that Clinton didn't need to take classes because she was old. So this was defending Obama.

Don't be taken in by this lie. They are not defending President Obama. They hide behind humor, but they are trying to destroy the man. This is nothing less than sedition! People like you laugh it up, but ignore what is really happening, and because of people like you stay silent, the anti-Obama racists are continuing their bash fest. Don't be a problem, but part of the solution.

@SnubbyJoe: This was posted in the midst of the presidential race (Oct 2008) and if you look at other videos from The Onion you'll notice that they make blatant attacks at McCain too. Don't get so uptight, dude.

They were actually making fun of the critics who claim he lacks experience. And took a shot at the people who don't say the same for McCain because "He's old."

Oh ok, yeah I took on a second job seeking God's will. I umpire baseball games as a New York State official (fourth year now I think). I keep a cool head at the games and am able to avoid confrontations (despite the argumentative nature of the job) and God has allowed me to keep it and seek His will, even while working games.

I voted for Obama and now I'm sorry I did. I thought he'd be different. I thought he'd go to Washington and take charge. I thought he'd take on the old school politicians and run our country more efficiently. He lied to all of us. I'm disgusted with him. I'll never vote for him again.

Moore's view is completely biased, but I don't think he presents it as anything else. He's not a journalist, he's a film maker. I think the definition of "opinion" pretty much includes bias, and his movies reflect his opinions.

THERE IS A REASON WHY PREGNANT WOMEN IN CANADA DO NOT OFTEN TRAVEL INTO THE STATES. If they went into labor early and had to give birth in the States, they would lose their life savings!
Wait times are not like they're made out to be by your wicked anti-worker American government propaganda. We don't believe that rich people are the only ones who should have access to health care.

There was a boy named Charlie and he was a smart man. He was killed by an assassain on April 12th, 1975 at the age of 14. If you read this, then tonight while you are sleeping, he will come to your house and go in your heart and stop it from beating, then you know what happens after that. This is was happened to a voice actor at the 4kids company named Maddison Blaustein. If you don't want to end up like Maddie, repost this message to 10 other videos before midnight tonight.
