Poll: Voters Willing to Replace Obama with Someone Blatantly Brain-damaged
Historic Shift in Voter Sentiment

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Frustration with President Barack Obama has grown to the point where some voters are now considering replacing him with people who appear to be blatantly brain-damaged, according to a new poll released today.

The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, shows a significant number of Republican voters strongly agreeing with the statement, “Things have gotten so bad in this country, maybe it’s time to give someone who does not appear to be playing with a full deck a chance to fix things.”

The results of the poll are “unprecedented,” according to the University of Minnesota’s Davis Logsdon, who supervised the survey: “For the first time in our polling, voters seem to be willing to hand over the Presidency to people they would not normally trust to run a Radio Shack.”

The three biggest beneficiaries of the poll were Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn), Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), with Mr. Paul getting especially high marks for his statement that a dime was worth three dollars.

Washington looks more like a 6th Grade playground, complete with cliques, rumor mills and the popular kids holding all the dodge balls.

I love how much Republicans rely on the easy scapegoat that is the P.U.S.A. If they really think it is bad because of Obama, they haven't been paying attention. Obama was handed a steaming turd and told to make it a diamond. Of course, he promised at least apple pie and failed, but who didn't know that was going to happen? A turd is a turd.

Off-topic: Cinjin, every time I post, I admire my sig. Thank you very much for it. It suits me very well.

Apparently the Borrowitz Report is a parody news site, so I've moved this to Humour.

At least the USA makes me feel good about the MP's we elect in the UK. Even Boris Johnson is better than Rick Perry, easily.
