Awesome Is Hard These Days

As I mentioned in a post yesterday, it’s a lot harder getting cool stuff done in Obama’s America. It used to be I’d just go to the president and it would be like:

ME: I want to nuke the moon.

BUSH: Sounds good. Go do it.

ME: Don’t you want to know why?

BUSH: I don’t have time for that. Just take this form, fill out what you want nuked, and hand it in to the nearest general.

With Obama, it’s all about reason. So I have to be more creative:

ME: Let’s nuke the moon to… uh… get water out of rocks.

OBAMA: You can get water from rocks with nukes?

ME: Yes. Smart people know that.

OBAMA: I’m smart! I know that!

Man, I’ll have to work on a good reason to get him to approve my idea of a giant robot with gatling guns for arms. With Bush, “robots are cool” would be enough of a reason, but it will be trickier with Obama:

ME: I want to make a giant robot with gatling guns for arms.

OBAMA: That sounds awful; I’m peeing my pants just thinking about it. What possible purpose could it be other than to provoke other nations?

ME: It’s for… um… a death panel on your new health care plan.

OBAMA: Oh. Well, we’ll have to call it something else because apparently the public doesn’t like the phrase “death panel.”

ME: We can call it an “Health Care Administrating Executive.”

OBAMA: Excellent! Now can you help me get this bucket off my head? It’s stuck.

It’s hard work, but I’ll do it because I love America. And giant robots.

    OBAMA: Space aliens! From space! Aggh! Aaah!

    CRUSTY: Let’s give them amnesty.

    OBAMA: You mean, make them citizens? Good heavens, man! Why?

    CRUSTY: Then they can’t say aliens destroyed us. It was just Americans destroying Americans.

    OBAMA: You want to be my new Green Czar? I got an opening you know.

    CRUSTY: Screw you, in 3 years you’ll be bumming me for a job.

  2. Btw, SNL Weekend Update totally stole your bucket joke last night. Of course they thought it was funnier with Bush getting his foot stuck in a bucket. Eh, I know they’re very smart, but Frank might be funnier.

  3. Why would you involve Obama or any government agency in the construction of your robot? If they helped out, not only would it take to long to build and cost way too much, but it would probably end up being gay.
