NRA Objects to President Getting to Live in Big, Fancy White Mansion
Fairfax, VA
Following their objections to the Presidents children receiving armed guards (see video), the NRA has now discovered that President Obama also gets to live in a big, fancy white mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue.
NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre reported yesterday that, after a thorough investigation, NRA researchers have determined that the President receives many things that the average US citizen does not.
Did you know, for instance, Mr. LaPierre told reporters, that the President gets to fly on private planes and that like his children he is also protected by armed guards? If armed guards are good enough for the President, why cant we all have armed guards?
But Mr. LaPierre wasnt done. He went on to list several Presidential perks not available to the rest of us, including command of the military, a private gym, access to state dinners, and even a band that plays a special song for him when he enters a room.
But the biggest revelation to LaPierre and other leaders of the NRA was that the President gets to live in a beautiful, gated mansion right in the heart of DC.
The President, LaPierre said, lives in a house with 132 rooms, a team of cooks, a swimming pool, a movie theater, and even a bowling alley. And do you know who protects all of this? People with guns, thats who! They tried to cover it up in fact, they even call themselves the Secret Service. But our crack researchers were able to find-out about it anyway. So, I say to you, Mr. President: How do you explain yourself?
As of yet, there has been no response from the White House.

They still call it the White House, but that's a temporary condition.
