  1. …raised his mission accomplished banner…

    …went and played another round of golf…

    …declared poverty and all words describing it to be illegal, then giving a press conference where TOTUS declared the end of poverty in america…

  2. …called a cabinet meeting and asked what the problem was, he expected to be the best, and if they couldn’t get poverty levels to an ALL TIME high he’d find someone that could!!

    …went to his chambers, and using his communication device, summoned the emperor to report that the plan was working, and his victory over the earth was near complete. Upon hearing the news, the emperor renamed Obama to Darth Poverty.

    …played with his dog, dribbled a bit of drool down his chin and smiled while the adults tried to figure out what to do about it

    …sent a text to Kim Jong Un asking how to make those awesome videos showing prosperity where there actually isn’t any

    …began crank calling Mitt Romney

    …called Joe Biden into his office and asked “that’s good, isn’t it?”

  3. Upon hearing that poverty in the US was at a 50-year high, Obama said “WTF took so long? I hope bringing it to up to an 85 year high won’t be so much work“.

    Is it really “poverty” when you can basically sign up to be “poor” and get everything for free?

  4. . . . smiled as TV, radio, newspaper, and magazine reporters worked long and hard to present this as either “no big deal,” “Republicans’ fault,” or “actually a good thing, and a brilliant economic strategy by Obama.”

  5. Replied, “I have a dream, that my two girls will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character but by the content of their bank account.”

  6. Apologised for the fault in the report. Those responsible have been sacked.
    [But without a job those who have been sacked will add to the poverty level]
    He then apologised again for the fault in the report and announced those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
    [Are you daft? That only adds to the poverty level]
    He then announced: the principals of the firm hired to report on the poverty level after the other people had been sacked, have just been sacked.
    The Poverty Report has been unexpectedly revised at great taxpayer expense and at the last minute.
    Obama then claimed he too was 5% poorer and felt your pain.

  7. …blurted out that it’s not size that matters but how you use it and then bragged that he got it up didn’t he and he could keep it up.

    …said the science! was settled, Global Warming melted all the money!

    …commissioned 50 billion dollars to study the sex lives of brainless Obama voters.

  8. …passed an executive order changing how poverty is calculated and who is counted

    …said that since the numbers include a lot of minorities, the study is RACIST!!11!!

    …said that the number was inaccurate because it included a lot of millionaires and billionaires who are “doing just fine”

    …said “in your FACE, Jimmy Carter!!!!”

    …tried to perform a Jedi Mind Meld by casually waving his hand and saying “Poverty in the US is NOT at a 50-year high”

    …said “well, it’s still much lower than most other countries”.

    …said “high? high is good, right? Like…woo! high score!!! right?”

    …said “how much higher do I need to get it to get to enter my initials into the high score page?”

  9. … said that poverty in the US is at a 57-year high.

    … asked to be allowed to be clear, since he was about to make a speech on the subject.

    … was aroused (not a synonym for concerned)

    … looked up “poverty” in the dictionary.

    … said “Yeah, I know: Debbie Wasserman Schultz has already mentioned how her aides who make over $100,000 a year are being “priced out” of the carry-out cafe in the Cannon Office Building.”

    … realized that he had done ten times more to reduce the number of chubby kids in this country than Michelle ever would.

    … declared “We must fight this poverty of our country with a poverty of ideas!”

  10. …said. “another for the records. highest unemployment, highest debt, and now highest poverty. But it’s okay because I brought hope, change, and a sense of community to America. If you don’t believe me, check the stats and you’re a racist.”
