Republicans senators say deep tax cuts are answers to fire...
I love the onion. It is brilliant in zapping everyone.

"As Obama has said himself numerous times, if he wanted to he could talk to the clouds and get them to unleash a great rain storm upon the wildfire..."

It's probably going better than direct talks with Hamas, I suppose.

Obama's not going to get water's cooperation since he's been walking all over it. /

The part about Obama threatening sanctions after the fire destroyed 60 homes was awesome.
Is what I would say if the Onion weren't so RACIST.

I mean folks even made jokes about George Washington. In terms of comics, epic fail. It's nice to see folks in the business of humor taking themselves seriously.

It is getting harder and harder to tell Onion satire from reality.

To think that ridiculing this President six months ago was unthinkable, now The Onion piling on top of a scorching Saturday Night Live skit; the theme is a clueless gadfly with no interest in his job.
Personally I think we should give President Obama a couple of years before we start assessing his presidency, he inherited a staggering mess, but this turn of events, assuming the Left produces the humor in this country, is startling.
