Onion Tries, Fails To Capture Full Absurdity Of Post-Election Obama Cultists (Plus: They’re “Sitting At Phone” Asking “What Do You Want Me To Do Next”?)

Yeah I know it’s a parody. But not really, ya know?


Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

I had the same concern on the eve of the election. But like any good Dear Leader, Obama knows how to keep his followers occupied:

A powerful new lobbying force is coming to town: Barack Obama’s triumphant army of 3.1 million Internet-linked donors and volunteers. In a mass e-mail thanking them, written moments before his Grant Park victory speech, Obama put them on notice. “We have a lot to do to get our country back on track, and I’ll be in touch soon about what comes next,” he wrote. Many are eager. “I’m going to be sitting at the phone, asking, ‘What do you want me to do next? I’m ready,’” said volunteer Courtney Hood, 37, a mother of three from Owings, Md.

Yeah I bet she is. First on the liberal activist agenda: finding those tens of millions of McCain voters and… achem… persuading them to see the error of their ways. Because why should we have disagreement in a democracy? Seriously. So sure Newsweek’s editor was 18 months and a full election late in figuring out that Obama’s followers are “slightly creepy. But better late than never, right?
