Obama Threatens to Quit Over NBC-Boyle Incident

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama threatened to resign today if he can’t have Susan Boyle’s 9 p.m. timeslot on NBC Wednesday to try to drum up support for his sagging plan for health care “reform.”
“Yesterday, I said it wasn’t about me. I friggin’ lied. IT IS!” he said this morning during an impromptu press conference at the White House, visibly angry and, strangely, not reading from a teleprompter. “This health care bill WILL pass. And you WILL give me that 9 p.m. timeslot, NBC. If I don’t get it…I’m gonna…I’m gonna….I’m gonna quit! You’ll be stuck with Slapstick for president. Live with it. You’ll be sorry!”
The president made the announcement to reporters at a time when his poll numbers and support for his policies have never been lower. In fact, his plan for national health care is receiving serious criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, who both know that raising taxes to pay for health care and effectively killing private industry guarantees they’ll be jobless and first in line on Obama’s coming breadlines, beginning with the fall of 2010, cascading into elections in 2012 and beyond.
