It was expected to be a breeze, but Pres. Barack Obama has not been able to get the one item on his personal docket done – an item that he has been trying to pass since before his election: Death by Presidency.
Unable to muster the courage to do it himself, he went screaming “You’ll never take me alive!” as he sprinted toward the presidential election, feeling confident that he would never see the end.
When I asked a man who had thoughts on the situation what his thoughts were on the situation, he said, “Most likely we’re just becoming a less racist country as we move more towards a global society. We are becoming used to different kinds of people from different backgrounds, and I think President Obama is living proof of that.”
Since that man is clearly irrational, I asked another man. This time, someone that purports to really know things, “It’s more likely that our literacy programs in the regions associated with the extremists have educated them enough to know that it would irritate him more if they kept him alive.”
Where exactly are these regions?
“The South, mostly, but also the Deep South and the Southeast, as well. We’ve really tried to put most of our focus on the problem areas.”
When a call was made to a Deep Southerner’s rotary telephone, he was asked his opinion on how the current president was allowed to take office, he replied with “I believe Ronald Reagan is doing a fine job.”
Obama’s election campaign even “leaked” that he might not be born in the U.S., which was expected to be the tipping point for extremists. It was further helped by the fact that Obama was born in the faraway and mystical, yet somehow U.S. owned, land of Hawaii. However, his campaign coordinators did not take into account the call-in radio shows, blogs and loss of 1950s stoicism that now allow the population to vent all their anger.
Without the need to contain everything until it boiled over, everyone merely yelled and complained rather than doing anything. Charles Bronson never would have stood for this. He would have shot this fact in the face if it were a tangible object.
However, it might not be blogs that are keeping Obama safe, or even his security staff. More than likely the president’s greatest defense is the man that would take over, Joe Biden.
As Vice President of U.S. Operations, Biden was asked about the situation through telephone and had this to say, “They’ve taken away my speaking privileges, again.”
After reminding him that he was currently speaking, he released a heavy sigh and hung up the phone.

Kilgore: Obama’s death wish not going as planned
Is this supposed to be humor? I can only assume the combination of extreme tastelessness and awful sentence structure makes this a humor column.
I don't know what's more offensive: the fact that you're joking about the potential assassination of the President of the United States, or your writing ability.
Kilgore: Obama’s death wish not going as planned
Wow. What a waste of time. :rolleyes:
Kilgore: Obama’s death wish not going as planned
I'm sure that there was similiar outrage when a movie was made about the assassination of George W. Bush on the part of Gnomo. As for the written piece; that was supposed to be humor???
There is a famous quote attributed to many; dying is easy, comedy is hard.
Kilgore: Obama’s death wish not going as planned
I knew so many people who insisted to me that they just couldn't vote for Obama because it was just an inevitability that he'd be assassinated.
Kilgore: Obama’s death wish not going as planned
This was hilarious! There were a ton of idiots on Facebook election day making statuses about how they would kill him.
Kilgore: Obama’s death wish not going as planned
OK, your bit is about presidential assassination, I wouldn't mind if your name was Joe Blow, but now I can't get on a plane! See you at the car rental counter. The grain of truth behind the humor, and the subtle(?) delivery seems to have overshot some of the posters. Bet Gnomo saw Talladega Nights and Fahrenheit 9/11 twice each.
