Even while it's hard to find the humor in the situation the United States finds itself in at the moment, why not try? We all know that laughter is the best medicine, so this article is an attempt to medicate America. I mean an attempt to lighten the load a bit for those who find themselves discouraged by the, well, by the everything.

*Spendthriftitis

Big Daddy Obama has been very liberal with other people's money since coming into office. In a Santa Claus like way, he has thrown money at the situation hand over fist. "Sit on Santa's lap now and tell me what I can do to help you out." "Uh, Santa, somebody messed up and my company is going down the tubes. Will you give me a bunch of money to help me out?"

A hearty "ho, ho, ho," and the child, looking for a bailout, finds a bunch of green under his Christmas tree the next day. He thinks, "Wow, Santa Barak really came through for me!" Well that's what he thinks before he actually leans down to pick up his present. "Ooo, look at that Ben Franklin smiling up at me." He thinks as he makes a grab for it. He pulls, and pulls, and pulls, but there's always more to pull out. No, not Franklins, STRINGS! Someone forgot to look at the fine print on Santa's gift!

*Change-a-mania-itis

Change! Change! Change! Woohoo, we're gonna get change! We don't seem to care what kind of change, as long as it's change. Right? After all, babies want change; people with dirty clothes want change; everyone wants change. Well, some of us got what we wished for. The process of changing from a free democratic republic to a socialist nation is at full tilt. The process of growing our government so it can protect us and take care of us poor misguided fools, clinging to our guns and religion is right on track.

The change is coming to marriage, religious rights, the constitution, the legal system, heck, change is coming to everything you love and hold dear. Wow, when Obama said we need change, he meant it! And guess what? As people watch the old change train chugging down the track, they willingly get ready to jump on board just for a free ride!

*God-complexitis

Since Obama came on the scene, people have felt 'thrills' running up their leg (sounds like a bug problem to me); they have hung on Obama's every word, justifying it to fit whatever they want to believe it means; They drool over the family and even get excited about the family dog. I think the dog's name is Biden or something like that. Just like God, Obama knows what we need and how to run our country into the, I mean how to run our country.

The "atheists" like Limbaugh and Hannity and the like, find themselves disparaged for their limited ideas. Oh, young people, you aren't left out either. Did you know that these atheists have brain washed you and influenced you to actually want to keep the Constitution, your guns and your freedom? We all know how easy it is to influence the youth of America, not to mention Republicans! Because Obama has noticed your inability to think for yourself, he and others want to introduce the "Unfairness Doctrine", so you won't have to hear any dissenting opinions, thus mushing your brains into, gulp, conservative ideology.

For those of us who cling desperately to the crutch of our religion, we know it's all in God's (the real one) hands, so we might as well laugh and enjoy the show. Those of you who have no religious beliefs (or false ones, like Christianity) are free to join the church of Obama. Soon, you too, can have little thrills going up your leg and all the change you can't handle. So, remember to make your ride on the "Obama Change Train" with a healthy dose of laughter in your pocket. You just might need it.
