Announcer:"Ladies and Gentlemen of the press The President of the United States!!!"
Obama sashsays.. to the podium...
Comments from various members of the press corp:
" "!!!"..."oh!!!"..."gasp"..." my G**"... "I can't believe it!!" "Is he...??" , "I don't believe it!!!" "Is he???"
And so Obama starts out..
"Thank you for attending. Just a note on my new suit. This was a donation from the "Tailor's Union" that wanted to demonstrate the finest art of fabrication.
Now I'll take some questions..
How about that little boy back there...
All the while the press corp are also now starting to see and saying...
"Oh yes now I see he's right... and others say ..."And the colors! The colors of that beautiful fabric! I have never seen anything like it in my life!"
They all tried to conceal their disappointment at not being able to see the suit.
And since nobody was willing to admit his own stupidity and incompetence,
they all behaved as Obama had expected as he said in his book..
"Dreams of My Father"
"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned.
People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves.
They were more than satisfied. They were revealed. Such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered
young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
The little boy that Obama called on however, who had no important job and could only see things as his eyes showed them to him, went up to the podium...
"You are naked," he said.
And Obama was naked.
But Obama didn't think so after all the Tailor's Union told him this was the purest of fabrication!
And after all those professional press corp members didn't say anything so in Obama's mind he was wearing this great fabrication of new clothes!
But.....Obama realized that the little boy was right but Obama could not admit to that.
Obama though it better to continue the press conference under the illusion that anyone who couldn't see his clothes was either stupid,incompetent or racists!
Obama stood stiffly at the podium.
