Black Press Of America: Obama "Lifts America's Spirit In Speech Of Hope," Economy Is Bush's Fault

Spirit

Not a parody:

Obama Lifts America's Spirit In Speech Of Hope As He Releases Budget Details. In his first speech before Congress, filled with the soaring inspiration reminiscent of his campaign, President Barack Obama last week promised the nation, "We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before." Surrounded by cheering and applauding Democrats and less optimistic Republicans, he said, "The weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation... Millions were glued to their television sets for the Feb. 24 speech, looking for a word of hope as Obama prepared to unveil his first budget... The President was realistic... Part of the exuberance among Democratic members of the House and Senate, was no doubt their recollection that it was the eight-year Republican Administration of President George Bush that has led to the crisis.

This gem is from the National Newspaper Publishers Association, aka the Black Press of America, "a 67-year-old federation of more than 200 Black community newspapers from across the United States." At least there's no sign that vapid identity politics has transformed America's once vaunted ethnic press into a parody of college pamphleteering.

I was kind of disappointed that this ode had no mention of how Obama's giving away houses. Or of how Michelle has nice guns and is the coolest First Lady ever. Or of how The One is more heroic than Jesus. Which sucks because how am I supposed to properly worship Him on account of mere "soaring inspiration?"
