WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Former President Barack Obama said Thursday evening that he was saddened and hurt that Brett Kavanaugh failed to blame him for his predicament at any point in his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier in the day.
As he was rattling off all of the people who had victimized him, I was sure I was going to make the list, Obama said. It was more than a little deflating that I didnt.
Obama said that as Kavanaugh listed such nemeses as the mainstream media, a vast left-wing conspiracy, and the Clintons, he was on the edge of my chair expecting my name to come up."
It was a tough thing to watch.
Obama said that it was a little comforting to know that he was not the only person Kavanaugh neglected to blame in his remarks. I just got off the phone with George Soros, and he is bummed as well, Obama said.

He didn't even bring up the birth certificate. Very low energy accusation.

in such a way.
