WASHINGTON, DC - President Barack Obama announced today that he is transgender, confirming what many Republicans have suspected for years.
In his statement, he acknowledged that his original name was Blossom Obama. She had the sex change surgery after travelling to Hawaii, shortly after leaving her hometown in Kenya.
He stated that he was inspired by Apple CEO, Tim Cook, who officially came out today as gay.
Many key Republican strategists believe that Obama is not a transgender, but simply wants to engender the LGBT community to vote Democrat in the upcoming midterm elections. Fellow transgender, Nancy Pelosi, described these allegations as cynical.
