Talk and Win


Barack Hussein Obama could hardly believe his luck this morning. In fact, he almost choked on his corn flakes when he heard the news! Less than a year ago, he duped the American public into believing that he could bring the American electorate change; though the voters forgot to ask him what kind of change he was talking about. Silly them!

Ever since, he has spent his time as sitting president moving around. There are so many places in America where he can use the gift he has been given: the gift of the gab. In fact, since taking office, he has done little else other than talk. He talks so much that there is little time to do anything else. And of course, without doing anything, he cannot achieve. Why does he talk so much? Because it is doubtful that he is capable of achieving anything, and anyway he loves the sound of his own voice. It sounds so sonorous to him. To him, that is!

Now this! He has learnt his lesson fast, though. We must grant him that. He has learnt that one doesn’t have to achieve anything real to get the Nobel Peace Prize. All one has to do is talk – talk, talk, talk, and loftily. Talk, talk, talk, and win, win, win, win. Win prizes here and win prizes there.

Oh yes, and Obama will sleep better tonight, since with this medal comes about a million euros. Plenty of sleeveless dresses there, Michelle! – Mark
