President Obama Shocks Nation With Surprise Trip To Some Middle Eastern Place!

'Hello, Cleveland!'Ha ha ha PSYCH, he did not go to “Iran,” as suggested briefly by the LA Times, but Iraq, its neighbor, the one with the war. Wars? The president stopped there even though he clearly hates Iraq, given his eternal pledges to get out of there and “bring the troops home” to Afghanistan. He probably handed out a fake turkey as a fun prank, as is the wont of American presidents visiting Iraq. Thank you to Sam M. for the screenshot of the LAT’s moment of terrible shame. [Al Jazeera]

    Go easy on the LA Times. Those “N” and “Q” keys are practically right next to each other.

  2. jagorev says at 11:11 am, April 7th, 2009

    They get partial credit for not spelling his name as Osama.

  3. President Beeblebrox says at 11:11 am, April 7th, 2009

    WAKE UP SHEEPEL, YR PREZNIT IS REALLY A SEKRIT MUSLIN! YESTERDAY TURKEY, TODAY THE IRAN!

  4. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 11:11 am, April 7th, 2009

    He did go to IraN because he’s a secret mooslin and he just sold all the negroes in US Merika to Akmadinajad!

  5. No one expects the Obama Inquisition.

  6. Now, that WOULD have been a surprise visit. Ahmadinejad would have been sleeping and had to run to the airport in his jammies to meet Obama.

    Oh sure, the reporters are all homeless bankrupt food stamp hobos, and you’re grilling them on geographical minutiae. Have a heart, applaud them for having the strength to type real sentences and not resorting 2 l33t sp33k.

  8. Serolf Divad says at 11:15 am, April 7th, 2009

    No, no, no. The L.A. Times got it right. Obama’s body double went to Iraq, but Obama himself went to Iran to speak with the Ayatollah Khamenei and receive further instructions directly from his Sith master.

  9. hobospacejunkie says at 11:15 am, April 7th, 2009

    Please let this hasten the death of newspapers and herald a new paradigm of news-gathering, whatever it may be.

    Can’t wait for Bobby Gibbs’ next press conference: “I can report that the president was not the victim of a shoe-throwing incident, so already our foreign policy is paying dividends, Mr. Cheney.

  10. Come here a minute says at 11:16 am, April 7th, 2009

    Check out the photo — Hopey is surfing the beaches of Iraq, with oil rigs in the distance. Is it dangerous? “Ahmed don’t surf!”

  11. picadillythirds says at 11:19 am, April 7th, 2009

    Wait, there is a difference between Iran and Iraq? They are both just muslin countries that wish to destroy us, right?

  12. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:21 am, April 7th, 2009

    …doesn’t Iraq have a job open for a new thoroughly insane, ego maniacal, dictator with the name Hussein?!

  13. NoWireHangers says at 11:22 am, April 7th, 2009

    I’m actually more offended by that shot of Kristen Johnson to the right. It’s from the bitch troll from hell Americanized remake of Absolutely Fabulous. NO!

    On a side note, GOD I miss Defamer. Wonkette is all I have left.

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:22 am, April 7th, 2009

    …Barack HUSSEIN; Saddam HUSSEIN, brothers?!?!

  15. AngryBlakGuy says at 11:24 am, April 7th, 2009

    hobospacejunkie: …Twitter?

  16. hobospacejunkie says at 11:27 am, April 7th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Are there pre-conditions, because without pre-conditions you should never ever talk to foreigners.

    Also, did Fox, or McCain finally stop their Number of Days Until Obama’s Been in Iraq counter yet?

  18. magic titty says at 11:30 am, April 7th, 2009

    Will we be receiving our Children’s Treasury of Freeper comments, regarding Perzdnit Hussein NOsama’s visit to his uncle’s mosque in Iraq?

  19. Come here a minute: I didn’t know Obambi wears a cape when at the beach. Snazzy. (It’s probably to hide the cellulite)

  20. ManchuCandidate says at 11:32 am, April 7th, 2009

    NOBAMA, the IRANIAN Candidate!

    Quick, someone make a T-shirt so we can sell it the fat dumb bitters.

  21. frumious_bandersnatch says at 11:35 am, April 7th, 2009

    Maybe Hopey is just enjoying the opportunity to have some conversations with grownups.

  22. JohnnyMeatworth says at 11:36 am, April 7th, 2009

    no, he actually went to a Flock of Seagulls concert where they played “I Ran.”

  23. Mild Midwesterner says at 11:42 am, April 7th, 2009

    This is just LA’s way of getting back at the Baghdad Times for reporting that Bel Air is in the Valley.

  24. Come here a minute says at 11:45 am, April 7th, 2009

    Hillary ain’t done yet — PUMA power! Obama, PRESUMPTUOUS.

  25. Norbert says at 11:47 am, April 7th, 2009

    JohnnyMeatworth: damn you, Meatworth, you got there first.

  26. Lazy Media says at 11:53 am, April 7th, 2009

    Come here a minute: What’s with these Segway idiots and their insistence on gyrostabilization instead of, I dunno, wheels? Are they worried about some looming wheel shortage?

  27. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:55 am, April 7th, 2009

    Roast turkey? Feh. Obama would do just as well to bring in Bush’s balls on a platter.

  28. Lazy Media: You may laugh, but that’s because you can’t see the looming Wheel Bubble.

  29. Professor Proffy McProfalton, Prof. says at 12:01 pm, April 7th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: But Movieline is coming soon, and we shall have our defameroids back…

  30. SayItWithWookies says at 12:01 pm, April 7th, 2009

    This is just like that time they reported we invaded Iraq. Hahaha, what the hell reason would we have had to do that? Those yokels can’t get anything right.

  31. Come here a minute: Also, it looks like two moderately in-shape people could easily steal that out of your parking space.

  32. NoWireHangers says at 12:06 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Professor Proffy McProfalton, Prof.: Not soon enough. I have the shakes. It’sss haardd toooo typpppeee. Brian Grazer isn’t going to make fun of himself gggoddammitttttt!

  33. Isn’t N. Korea on the way home from IraQ? The Axis of Islam.

  34. S.Luggo says at 12:17 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Sussemilch: This is what happens when you fire all the copy editors and replace them with cheap, Mexican labor and robots. Pulido for Congress!

  35. bitchincamaro says at 12:21 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Didn’t Stevie Wonder sing about this very conumdrum in the preamble to “Dont’ You Worry ‘Bout a Thaing”?

  36. randomsausage says at 12:22 pm, April 7th, 2009

    I just don’t know why we can’t get a crack team assembled to sort out this whole middle east shit: say, Chuck Norris, Arnie, The Rock, Vin Deisel plus some token black dude (maybe before they head out to the area they could spring Wesley Snipes from house arrest). Anyways, with or without Blade, I say fly them in low, under the radar, for a moonlit desert drop…and then have them free the hostages and bring back the secret plans. That would solve a lot of our problems.

  37. Hooray For Anything says at 12:35 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Jewdishoowary Square: I often that the Bush White House made the same mistake which is how we wound up fighting a war with Iraq

  38. catsonmars says at 12:53 pm, April 7th, 2009

    Let this be a lesson to the Times: things like this happen when you cut costs by firing all your staff.

  39. meyotch says at 12:54 pm, April 7th, 2009

    In related headline fuck-up news, the entire leadership of the Mormon Church resigned Monday.
