President Obama Visibly Shaken After Visiting Denny's Restaurant

This is interesting video sums up my view of America perfectly .. After visiting a Denny's Restaurant, President Obama was visibly shaken and disillusioned; and plans to abandon complex policies on emissions, clean coal and refocus on achievable goals like applying deodorant daily, and learning what to say when you burp [2:46]

Of course, I want to point out that Denny's looks upper middle class when compared to the McDonald's in my 'hood. Just sayin'.

This had me laughing at first but I believe I reached some level of depression by the end when I realized art imitates life.

Dear Bill,

It was a joke.

As for the second part... well...

The only one I actually believed was real, was where a bullet-making corporation were recalling a hundred thousand defect bullets that only pierced through skin instead of exploding through.

That was hilarious on multiple levels.

You do know that lethal injections for executions have been challenged on the grounds that they haven't been proven to be safe, right?

Think the host was good, the rest was a bit over-played and stereotypical. But I mean America... It sucks to be you guys.
