Obama Says He Will Resend Message to Mubarak, This Time in All Caps

Obama Says He Will Resend Message to Mubarak, This Time in All Caps
White House Mulls Change in Font
February 3, 2011

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - Concerned that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak did not receive his message to begin a peaceful transition to democratic reforms, President Barack Obama said today that he would resend the message "but this time in all caps."

Mr. Obama said that while he hoped sending a capitalized version of the message would be effective, "we have a variety of other options at our disposal, including resending it in bold."

In the days since it became clear that Mr. Mubarak did not receive the White House's initial message, Mr. Obama has been huddling with advisors to discuss a range of more drastic options, including changing the message's font altogether.

"We are fully prepared to go to a stronger font if that will help make our point to Mubarak," said one aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Right now every font is on the table except Comic Sans."

4. The man is over 80. I am sure he doesn't text...
a megaphone might be of more use. Or maybe we can by him a vowel so he will have a clue.

"Did you say bowel?"

"No sir, he is talking about the unrest."

"Yes, my stomach has been upset lately."

"No, they want you to resign."

"But I signed that bill last week. And tell all those kids to get off my lawn."

"Never mind, sir."

5. Send one to the Chamber of Commerce while you're at it.

Actually, you should have already sent a thank you note for their gracious hosting of you.

10. Shortly after his election,
Obama sent Israel a message in all caps sternly warning them that his administration would not tolerate the expansion of settlements into Palestinian territory.
