'October Surprise: Obama Looks Awake!'


'October Surprise: Obama Looks Awake!'

26 okt 2012
(blog piece for Telegraaf.nl)  

‘The October Surprise’ is an American election tradition. 4 years ago it was the Wall Street Crisis. What will be the Game Changer in 2012? The answer is: it already happened. Obama’s first debate performance was so disastrous that Michelle is still not having sex with him.

The good news is Michelle Obama may be more popular right now than Barack, giving the President a bounce in the polls. Michelle is the Bounce Queen. Even though – with those biceps – she looks kind of like a drag queen.











Obama was so bad in the 1st debate that it doesn’t matter he won the 2nd & 3rd debate. It doesn’t matter that Romney puked all over himself in the second debate (see: Libya). It doesn’t matter that Romney in the 3rd debate was as bad as Obama in the 1st debate (since Monday Night Football was on, no one was watching). And it doesn’t matter that Romney keeps flip-flopping like a frog on fire. For a man who doesn’t believe in evolution – his campaign evolves every week.

Still, Romney has the momentum. The good news for Obama is: he never performs better than when he’s losing. After months of delay, the President has finally released his ‘Plan for Jobs.’ 

Mr. President, this homework was due 3.5 years ago. At least now we know: if you vote for Obama in November, we can expect to have jobs sometime in 2015.
