Is this an official Barack Obama page?
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 03:15 PM by pnwmom
And, if so, shouldn't someone have labeled this satirical post as satire? Is it fair for this anti-Hillary joke to be posted on this site as if it were for real? Based on the response of DUers to this post, it's clear that some people are taking it seriously.

1. It's a personal blog post,
I think it's obvious it's a joke. It's unfortunate the initial poster didn't recognize it as such.

2. Not just the initial poster -- there were a bunch of replies from people
who didn't get the joke either.

4. There's a link on that page one can click to report it as "inappropriate" if
you feel it is. The guy's no Andy Borowitz.

6. I only see one comment
Maybe it's my browser settings?

It was obviously a joke...I thought it was pretty funny.

7. Posts 1, 3, 4, and 6 seemed not to get it, although poster 1 did later.
I don't know what post 14 meant.

5. Hilarious
Stupid people need satire labeled "SATIRE."

So sad.
