In news today it was learned that the President has ordered that TheSpoof.com is now to be made mandatory reading for all school children, grade 8 and above.
The president feels that the information in the pages of TheSpoof.com are important for the children of America to be able to maintain a sense of humor "in these harsh economic times".
"Being able to laugh" said President Obama, "is one of the things I based my entire political career on".
"In running for the office of President I laughed at those who said I'd never make it.
"In being sworn into office, I laughed instead of holding my hand over my heart.
"When stepping into the oval office for the first time, I laughed at what an accomplishment I, as a colored man had achieved".
The President is still laughing as he reads TheSpoof.com "news" about himself and his family.
"You have to be able to laugh at yourself" said the President as he laughingly turned to his computer and read a spoof about his wife using the Presidential helicopter.
He motioned to the Secret Service agent next to his desk and whispered, "How did they find out about that"?
