Obama Loses Insurance Due to Obamacare

Obama Loses Insurance Due to Obamacare

Washington, DC—No one was more surprised than President Obama when a letter arrived at the White House stating he could no longer stay covered under his existing insurance policy. The administration is currently scrambling to use the Healthcare.gov website to find the Obama’s suitable coverage.

The President minced no words, “I want to say for the record that if I was eligible for Obamacare my children could have stayed on my policy until they were 27, which is clearly an advantage for those 11-people who qualify.”

Obama admits he spent “endless MFing hours” logged onto Healthcare.gov trying to sign up for a comparable plan, but he is confident he and his family will be enrolled by the January 1st deadline. Obama emphasized to his Secret Service staff the importance of keeping the Obama’s safe during this uncertain period and he may be forced to cancel his next 47 vacations overseas. He recommends average Americans having trouble enrolling do likewise.

The President is denying allegations he is considering the authorization of drone strikes against certain Healthcare.gov servers as well as the District of Columbia’s state exchange itself. “Preposterous,” said Obama. “I am hoping the threat alone will suffice.”

Obama Offers Free Pizza With Every Healthcare Enrollment

Obama Offers Free Pizza with every Healthcare Enrollment

Washington, DC—In conjunction with the Pizza Palace, President Obama is offering a free pizza with every successful Obamacare enrollment. In light of recent cuts to the food stamp program, many in and around the beltway are calling this a brilliant move.

“The same people who had their food stamps reduced last month could really use some free pizza about now,” said President Obama. “Their pain is our gain. If you enroll on the healthcare.gov website and your pizza doesn’t arrive within 30-minutes, your first year of healthcare is absolutely free!”

Republicans are already crying foul and pointing out a list of broken delivery promises.

The President countered, “Some may qualify for a free 2-liter bottle of soda with your healthcare package, but I’m not giving out west wing wild wings, or stuffed catastrophic crust plans, or free death panel deep dish pizzas. Republicans are just making shit up again. But, if you call in the next hour, you can get some crazy behavioral health bread coverage at no additional charge.”

Drone Strike Operator’s “Must Target In-laws” Manifesto Ignored

Drone Strike Operator’s "Must Target In-laws" Manifesto Ignored

Canton, OH—When a drone ended up over 1,700 miles off course and in the laps of Fred and Margret Montaigne, the Pentagon called it a “major malfunction.” New facts have emerged that the exploded couple were the in-laws of the same drone operator, Major Gary Horowitz.

“I don’t think that’s a coincidence,” said the Discord’s field reporter, Cokie McGrath. “A coincidence is when Bone and Zano get thrown out of the same bar, the same night, for different reasons. This is suspicious.”

Army psychiatrist Dr. Sterling Hogbein admits Horowitz’s behaviors during the days and weeks preceding the incident were odd. “He would scribble Must Drone In-Laws Nicholson-Shining-style for hours on end,” said Dr. Hogbein. “And each time I’d show him an inkblot, he’d say, ‘It looks like a drone targeting my in-laws. I am a drone operator, you know. This is a cry for help.’ Anyway, I don’t know how anyone could expect me to connect those dots.”

When pressed further, Dr. Hogbein became defensive, “Look, no one could have seen this coming, except maybe the Montaigne’s, of course, from about mile out.”

Hundreds of Planes Fall From Sky As FAA Allows Electronic Devices

Hundreds of Planes Fall From Sky as FAA Allows Electronic Devices

The Ground—Hundreds of planes fell from the sky yesterday shortly after the announcement from the FAA that all passengers could safely turn on their electronic devices inflight. Several planes actually crashed into Obamacare which many are calling suspicious.

“It’s bittersweet,” said one FAA manager, Harry Bostwick. “It’s sad to see all those people die, horribly, but it’s nice to know we were right all those years to have people shut off their damned iShit.”

The FAA claims it was under a lot of pressure “from that guy in 4C” to lift the ban on inflight electronic devices. “Eventually we were like, okay whatever, anything to shut that guy up,” said Bostwick. “On a good note that guy died, horribly, when his plane crashed into Obamacare.”

The FAA admits part of their reluctance to lift the ban involved a fear of losing inflight movie revenue. “It was never about safety,” said Bostwick. “It’s always been about that extra two bucks per passenger for Hangover 2.”

Pope Accused of Spying on God

Pope Accused of Spying on God

Washington, DC—The White House believes it has obtained solid intelligence indicating that the Pope is spying on God. These revelations come on the heels of allegations that the U.S. is now spying on the Pope. “Yes, we are spying on His Holiness,” said President Obama, “but only because we have evidence that points directly to his wrongdoings. If Pope Francis is listening to God’s deepest thoughts and wishes, without his consent, it is a breach of trust unparalleled in human history.”

The White House maintains that communicating with God when he is aware is standard Papal operating procedure (SPOP). According to recorded NSA conversations, however, this new Pope is listening in without God’s consent.

Do God’s latest revelations merit another tablet? “DID YOU SEE THAT LAST COLBERT TWEET? ROTFLMAO” and, “I’M NOT GOING BACK TO THE BLOODY SAFEWAY TODAY, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? I’M GOD?” and finally, “IF I HAVE TO ATTEND ONE MORE TEA PARTY MEETUP GROUP, I SWEAR I’LL GO ALL SODOM-AND-GOMORRHA ON THEIR ASSES.”

President Obama added, “It is imperative we know when the 2nd coming is coming. Homeland Security is not going to stand idly by as a sizable percentage of our citizens up and vanish. And the rapture is expected to negatively impact ten times more Democratic districts. Dems could lose the Senate and the White House, not to mention the cost associated with locust pest control.”

Rocky the Rollout Rodent to Explain Website Fail

Rocky the Rollout Rodent to Explain Website Fail

Washington, DC—The Obama Administration has enlisted the aid of an important fictional superhero to help children understand why their family members have died while waiting for Obamacare coverage. Rocky and his trusty sidekick, Glitchy the Death Panel Pigeon, are already visiting numerous state exchanges, in full Kevlar, to explain recent enrollment glitches.

“Glitches are part of any new process, kids,” said Rocky. “Just ask my friend, Glitchy!” Unfortunately, by this time Glitchy had already passed out in a nearby alley.

President Obama expressed his deep disappointment in Glitchy’s performance today, but blames republicans for the iconic sidekick’s sudden turn to alcohol. The White House is not officially commenting on the rocky rollout for Rocky the Rollout Rodent, but an unnamed Obama advisor hinted that all government employed superhero-types were greatly impacted by the sequester.
