Iraq Crisis: While Obama's Away, He Needs Options to Weigh

My fellow comrades:

Being President of the United States and Leader of the Free World is not only hard work, but a lot of work for just one person, even if he is that Healer of the Planet, Stopper of the Rising Oceans and The One We've Been Waiting For otherwise known as Barack Obama.

Take this very weekend, for example. In addition to his daily Father's Day speech about how he had to grow up without a father, he's also traveling to North Dakota for a photo-op with Native Americans and another speech about how he really does care about them and wants to use his pen and phone to give them free stuff.

Then it's off to California to do the two things he always does in California - Democratic fundraisers, which are important if we hope to stop Republican terrorism and obstructionism in Congress; and golf, because, you know, presidents always play golf no matter what - Republican presidents certainly did, but even though it was wrong and out-of-touch for them to do so, the fact that they did makes it alright for Obama to do so now.

But now, on top of all that, there's this kerfluffle in Iraq. And while he's away from the bubble of Washington, Obama is depending on his staff to come up with an array of options for him to consider in dealing with said kerfluffle.

Dudes, we are, like, just as qualified as Tommy Vietor or - with a necklace that looks clunky enough - Jen Psaki, or anyone else in the Obama Administration to conjure up options for dealing with the crisis in Iraq. Surely we can do our part to help Obama and lighten his heavy load! Here are a few possibilities:

More selfies of people holding up signs with hashtags. #ISISbenice or #ISISplaynice or #BlameBush4Ever or something that will make those ISIS guys think about what they're doing and maybe back down if enough of us hold up signs and tweet and retweet. Maybe Jim Messina could write something on his hand about how he's in on the newest OFA approved hashtag. Are you in? Or should it be #AreYouIn? #DoYouCare?

Hollywood celebrities could get together to record a song that will raise awareness of the crisis. If enough people download the song and it gets enough airplay on the radio, it just might reach Iraqi ears. It will give those on one side hope because we care about their plight, and warn the other side that we're raising awareness of what they're doing so they might want to consider reconsidering what they're doing.

Or, we could throw shoes at an effigy of Bush before chopping it to pieces and setting it ablaze. After all, none of this would've happened if not for George Bush! It's just not fair for anyone to expect Obama to clean up the mess Bush made! Isn't it enough that it's the first thing he thinks of when he wakes up, and the last thing he thinks about before falling asleep? Isn't it enough that he cares?

The question is, do any of us care as much as he does?

I know I do! I cared enough to come up with THREE options for him to consider!

If anyone has any dumber ideas, post them here.

Please do not disturb the natural order of things by leaking such information prematurely. Dear Leader Obama has not yet heard of the slight hullaballoo by the Religion of Pieces Peace in Iraq from the networks yet. When he firsts learns of any alleged problems in Iraq after watching it on TV he will issue a strongly worded rebuke that will quell all hubbub. Until that time we must allow him to finish his waffles.

I suggest a committee to form a committee that will then formulate guidelines for a duly appointed committee of investigation to look into this matter so as to advise a designated Party committee to make suggestions for the next Party congress to vote on.

I second the motion to make suggestions for the next committee after our committee makes suggestions while factoring conceptualism.

We really have no real need for concern as of yet, comrades. This crisis is still in its early stages of development. When the right time comes, then will our leader initiate the appropriate white house procedure.

Dear Leader should simply order the cracker-jack journOlists in the state-approved mass media to ignore whatever it is that is going on in Iraq and it will disappear, just like Benghazi, the IRS, the VA, the 4 or 5 summers of no recovery, etc, etc.

Well, if unkerfluffling options are needed in the weighing it may be time to play the joker trump card .... what jihadist group bent on snatching up territory on a grand scale could resist a request by OnesieBoy?

Alternatively, Moo is a never-fail when it comes to hashtagging, perhaps she could take a moment between the lobster and dessert courses to illustrate her concerns ....

An insightful comment to this on our Facebook page:

It is time Obama tells these radical jihadists that they need to cut their carbon emissions by 30% as they are invading these Iraqi cities because we all know the real threat to the world is climate change

And here I thought those upstanding members of the Film Actors' Guild would be happy to sing The Muslim National Anthem™:الجميع يمارس الجنس مع بعقب!بعقب! بعقب! بعقب اللعنة!

I should think, ISIS would be considered "carbon-neutral" thanks to their pollution-offsetting killings, which reduced the number one threat to the environment -- humans. That most of the killed were men, also ought to soften their image with the feminists.

Probably killing a lot of farting cows, too.

We are needing speaking by MiniTruth minister (but must wait for Sunday propaganda news comedy shows):

Stop talking about Moochelle like that!

The dear leader shall not be denigrated by incorrect thoughts!

Repentance only works for delusional religionists; we others must bow down to the earthly all mighty.

Did you say "options"? Everyone knows that dear leader ™ has plenty of options

Dear Leader could go to California for a fund raiser to supply more money to throw at the problem. . . oh, wait. . .

Why should dear leader forgo the importance of golf to go to a fund raiser? He has the collective to do it for him.
