WASHINGTON (Reuters News) — African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected
president of the United States of America.
In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation’s broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million
Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis.
As part of his
duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the
messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny
and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even
bothered applying for it.
Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, “It just
goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can’t catch a
break.”
