Tongue in cheek-- it MUST be Obama's fault!

Trolling the President
By Michael Kindt, January 23, 2013

THE INTERNET – In what can only be described as a sterling moment of right wing perseverance, internet commenters today managed to tie a large boulder to the Obama presidency.

The story begins in Utah, where a boulder somehow became loose on a ridge, rolled down a hill, and crashed into the bedroom wall of Wanda Denhalter, 63, breaking her jaw and sternum. Since it was an odd story and nothing ever really happens in Utah, it was reported directly on the web almost immediately.

Internet commenters, who are almost always white, male, and smarter than everyone else, pounced on the article as quickly as it had been posted, but their usual crude wit and anger at their growing marginalization failed them—at first.

“It was tough going initially,” said an internet commenter who goes by the handle ‘Individual Liberty’. “I racked my brain but couldn’t come up with any way to blame this freak accident on Obama, even though it was clearly his fault.”

Another commenter—‘Oboy_must_go’—agreed. “This was a tough one. It wasn’t like a bad economic report. Those are easy to blame on Obama. Even good economic reports can be blamed on Obama because they’re obviously lies. But a boulder crashing through a wall? Yeah, it was a tough one.”

A breakthrough finally happened a few hours after the article had been up when commenter ‘Stinky-Stew’ hit upon the gun angle. “Like everyone else, I was having a hard time connecting it to Obama, but then it hit me: guns. ‘What,’ I posted, ‘are the libtards going to ban boulders now?’ Haha. I got a lot of virtual high fives and fist pumps for that and everyone just continued riffing off my gun-boulder epiphany, calling it an ‘assault boulder’ and what not. It was fantastic, truly a shining moment for me.”

Obama, the 44th President of the United States and an open, unapologetic liberal, could not be reached for comment because he was busy leading the free f’ing world.
