By using the latest in technology, scientists in both the United States, Britain and France have announced that they have discovered a ring floating above US President Barack Obama's head!

"We knew he was wonderful but we had no idea that he was of this magnitude", stated Professor Laughton Nelson Hughes of UCLA.

Several agreed with Professor Hughes and a few bowed their heads in humility at the name of Obama being spoken.

Another stated that perhaps we should only refer to him as "The O" but others that were older said that it might confuse older people into thinking they were talking about Oscar Robertson, the famous basketball player.

"Not if we add the 'The' to it", stated Hughes. "At least I will honor him as 'The O'! Besides, Oscar Robertson was known as 'the big O'."

Another Professor stated "While I like the idea of Obama wanting all Americans to have adequate health care. Plus I like the idea of Obama wanting to close the gap between the rich and the poor in our country, isn't this going a bit too far?"

He was immediately led from the room and our reporters from the True Tattler were told that his Aunt had just passed away in about an hour from now.

"We shall follow him, 'The O' from this day forth and America can be a role model for the world", stated Hughes.

"Gather all the believers together tonight for one huge beer conference!"

In other news, "The O" stated that he will probably agree to send 40,000 more US troops into Afghanistan and that he was going to appear on the Letterman Show for the rest of the week.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
