Looks like he was still thinking about dunking a basketball.
After President Obama’s shameful display of sexism, when he deliberately excluded women from his basketball games, Congress has taken matters into its own hands and introduced a series of bills as the first step to eliminating offense caused by blatant sexism. The first of these bills will outlaw the phrase ‘Oh Brother’, as having extremely sexist overtones. In its stead, the new term to be substituted for ‘Oh Brother’ will be ‘Oh Sibling’. This came to pass after a lengthy debate which resulted in exclusion of other noteworthy options such as ‘Oh for the love of God’ (this option was quickly shot down as it was deemed to be too offensive to atheists).
To assuage the tide of ill will from women across the World, President Obama forced himself to overcome his obvious sexism and play a round of golf with a Melody Barnes, his chief domestic policy adviser; however, in a chauvinistic slip, his golf foursome was comprised of two other men as well.
“I gotta say, I think this is bunk. Basically, the House of Representatives has a basketball game and they had wanted to play here at the White House court and we invited them.
“I don’t know if there are women who— were Members of Congress who play basketball on a regular basis. I don’t think there are. You know, I don’t think it sends any kind of message or signal whatsoever,” he said to Savannah Guthrie of NBC News
It is also suspected that President Obama picked Hillary Clinton as secretary of state simply because she tends to wear a pants suit and would fit in better with all the men.
Who the hell does he think he is righting bills to change the way anyone speaks. He should stop being such an idiot and deal with real problems.
You’re retarded.
Seriously you don’t actually think they writing and or changing any bills for this do you?
LMFAO Joanne.
Wtf mike. This soared high above your head buddy.
dude sarcasm.
Um well it is not him that is writing the bills…that would be the House of Reps….critisize the right branch please
The correct spelling here is ‘writing,’ and its not done by the President. Congress writes bills. More importantly, they are not serious about the bill, hence the term ’sarcasm.’ They are referring to accusations that President Obama is sexist, despite the fact that in his first year, he has appointed more women to his Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions than any president before him. Educate yourselves, people!
I love this site…seriously…take a lesson…
note to self…
laugh, repeat
Sarcasm + wit = dumbfounded reader
Mike, I am so glad you have an all-encompassing understanding of sarcasm. It is obvious that you really get what this site is all about. I hope you continue to base your political knowledge off of this entirely objective, informational source. You will be an intellectual giant among men one day.
Praise God for the gift of laughter! Some people should be forced to attend school before going on the internet
P.S. I apologise to any atheists who were offended by my praising God and would like to defend my blatent prejudice by saying that it is a quotation from a Blackadder the Second episode called Money XD
Dude, seriously? are you sure that you’ve joined the correct group of people? There is a Gullible Guild somewhere I think. You should check it out.
Wow, Mike you may have beat the sarcasm community at its own game, the double-sarcasm comment really got us…right?
You’re a typical American. You can’t spell right and then go on to insult someone. Try using spell check on your insults before you post them Mike.
Yes, it is sexist to exclude women from playing a friendly basket ball match. But for the love of god when does it stop? Will their reach a point where baa baa black sheep will be banned and replaced with noise of an unspecific animal with no distinct reference to the colour of the creature? Oh brother, some times things are taken to far. next thing they’ll have to say aperson instead of amen, calling a ship ’she, or her’ will be in the drink, and we’ll all have to stop speaking for the irrational fear of possibly insulting others.
Yes sexism is bad, yes their is still inequality, but simple phrases are not the cause in truth they are barely a factor in this issue. The issue is the role models of society who both consciously and subconsciously demote women. wearing pants in deed, you’d think being of a culture once surrounded by racism he’d be a little more open when it comes to including others! i’d love to have a chat to him!
i would love to chat with him too and tell him how stupid he is for every little detail he is trying to ban or whatever… he needs to focus on the bigger issues… not a freakin basketball game with no women.. also women dont play basketball with men usually bc men are more rough players than women are.
Actually, I don’t know about the US, but here in the UK, Baa-Baa Black Sheep now has to be sang as “Baa-baa Wooly Sheep, have you any wool?” Madness.
That is censorship my friend… How American of us!
He’s not the one *writing* the bills. Spend some time in a 12th grade government class, then reread this.
Spend some time looking at the name of the author.
yeah i agree fix the economy not our speech problems worry about real things like ppl getting forclosed on and parents losing their jobs “o brother” get real
I hope the above commenters are being sarcastic… Otherwise, they should really check what site they’re reading articles from.
I love watching these articles soar right over some of these peoples’ heads.
@Rich. It is mildly amusing, isn’t it?
Do you mean I have been basing my entire daily news intake and basing my life after this site that is not telling me the truth? How can I go on????
wow. i bet these idiots subscribe to the gospel of glenn beck too.
i fucking hate you. that’s all that needs to be said.
GOD, oh brother, for the love of God how liberal of you
how American of you to ban free speech
nice Jackass
To the above idiots: Look at the author. It’s sarcasm.
K bye.
LOL Nice one
Next on the agenda ; Black and white photography and films; prejudiced reciprocity of negatives; Duck , duck , Goose?
Um, mike. Try taking a look up at the title of the website you are reading this on. Then try being less of an idiot, if you can manage.
I’m sure the genii commenting on their outrage at this misuse of the judiciary system aren’t quite acquainted with the word, “Sarcasm”.
i know this probably not for real
but that doesnt mean i hate him less :D
Glad to have a closed minded retard reading articles over here. You have a knack for boosting the self esteem of other people, don’t you?
mike: The correct spelling here is ‘writing,’ and its not done by the President. Congress writes bills. More importantly, they are not serious about the bill, hence the term ’sarcasm.’ They are referring to accusations that President Obama is sexist, despite the fact that in his first year, he has appointed more women to his Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions than any president before him. Educate!
These comments are the reason i HATE the COMMENTS part of every web page. you get some people who dont quite understtand, but still comment, you get the people who do understand but dont care, and still comment. the people who comment “=) lolzzz” etc then you get the idiots, then you get the people who want to right the idiots then you get the abusive ping pong …, then you get idiots responding, then you have the middle person who sees both sides, and then every now and then there is a comment about the actual article..in the end..maybe… oh brother…
And then you get the self-righteous, “I’m too good to comment on these comments” commenter to round it all out. Thanks for completing the comment thread, Miles!
Please people! This is the SARCASM Society! Get a clue….Part of the problem we have in our country right now is that people only read/hear half of what is being written/said before they begin to react.
Uh, if you don’t like them, don’t read them…
Wow. Some people take these things waaay to seriously.
It’s written in fun, people!
i think its fun people are still commenting for no reason
except to comment on others like im doing to u :D
and it keeps going
Hah. Hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
People are dumb!
Can I make a comment here? Nevermind….
I don’t understand half the shit this president does.. I’m not even going to capitalize the P in president.. bc to me this guy is doing everything for the worst and he won for a popularity contest.. he is honestly the worst President ever.
You’re retarded, too.
No Erica Bush was the worst president ever!
The Sarcasmist (or any blogger/journalist for that matter) could write an article saying that Obama kills and consumes a dozen infants every morning just for fun, and an extremely large portion of America would instantly become outraged and overcome with horror and dismay. They would say things like “That’s disgusting and wrong beyond comprehension… but that’s what you get with a liberal socialist president.” Or “I always knew he was capable of stuff like that. Glad I didn’t vote for him!” They would create Facebook groups: “Petition Our Evil President Obama to Stop Eating Innocent Little Babies!” And Michael Steele would distribute fund raising material explaining how the only way to save the babies is to give a generous ‘gift’ of $100 to the Republican Party.
Fox News would run a ridiculously over-the-top breaking news story about the president’s hobby of cannibalizing babies and invite roughly 892 Republican Party strategists and conservative writers to participate in a panel to assess just HOW WRONG eating babies is, especially for a leader of such a great nation. Then they would make obvious connections between munching on newborns to liberal ideology.
Once the original poster of the false/satirical/sarcastic comes out publicly and says “Hey guys, it was just a joke. I thought that was apparent,” THEN the media will admit they were wrong, but only to the extent of journalistic standards, not any general sense of decency or ethics. And Rush Limbaugh will say (as he has before) that sure, he helped spread a completely falsified rumor, but the essence of it was accurate. Since Obama -could- eat babies. And is a Marxist African Manchurian candidate.
LMFAO…. You’re awesome.
Roflmao
WHAT? Obama eats babies for breakfast?? F*%&ing outrageous!!!!
Just kidding, love the comment Rich and the dildos that don’t get the sarcasm… I dispair
would you do the honours??? pretty pretty please?
Rich, you are a prince among men, a breath of fresh air, and other gushy but true phrases. It is a fact, sad but true, that half the world is of below average intelligence. Sometimes, I think that stat may be hopeless optimism, carried over from a more literate, educated age… when people could spell ‘write’ right, for instance.
I would truly love to see that, particularly since I’m British and could laugh at you over my cup of tea in a very British manner XD
@Tanya, half the world is below average intelligence because it’s the average…
This is funny… people get offended by things that are not even real. We need this like we need the NAACP while their is a black President. Everyone needs to get over themselves. Women are equal in America. Black people are equal in America. Many, many, many people lived and died so that this could happen, so don’t disrespect them by acting liek a bunch of prissy little wusses. George Washington would kick your arse if he saw how the country that him and the Continental Army fought to free turned out.
Yeah, George Washington fought for the rights of African-Americans and women.
“We need this like we need the NAACP while their is a black President.”
If you’re American, it’s your President too. Not just ‘theirs.’
What, he’s “a Black?” I was always hung up over the middle name thing. What was his middle name, Stalin or Mao or something? I keep forgetting who the bad guys are in this decade.
Also, I found it funny the way you phrased “Women are equal in America. Black people are equal in America.” Doesn’t an equality need the other side to be comparative? Equal to what?
Hahahah, rich I freaking love you! That was the best story ever. I half expect it to actually happen :)
