Report from Wed., Nov. 7th, 2012:
Washington, D.C. (AP) - President Barack Obama and his VP Joe Biden easily won re-election in a landslide yesterday over Republican nominee Sarah Palin and her VP candidate Mike Huckabee (often referred to during the campaign as the 'Christian Ticket'). Prognosticators cited Obama's stellar record on the economy, foreign relations, the environment, pulling out of the Iraq War, health care legislation, improvements in education, and other areas as being responsible for his easy re-election.

But although the election was what many termed a landslide (Obama received 62% of the vote to Palin's 34, with 2% going to the Guns-n-Bibles Party, another 1% to the Libertarian candidate, 1% to the Green candidate), all was not happy around the nation. Former candidate John McCain allegedly kept many of his fellow residents up late last night at the Saguaro Assisted Living facility in Scottsdale, AZ, rapping his cane loudly on the balcony of his unit, yelling 'MAVERICK! Fighter! Know how to do stuff! 'You just don't understand!', and 'Life isn't fair!', and frequently throwing empty beer bottles from the balcony as well. Former president George W. Bush was asked to comment on the election, but said he was 'too busy' 'clearing brush' on his Crawford ranch, where he's largely lived out of the limelight after his lowest-ever-approval-ratings 'presidency'.

The Christian Coalition released a strong anti-Obama statement from its new headquarters in South Africa, as did other fundamentalist leaders now scattered among various fascist countries around the globe, where most fled during the first Obama administration.

What's ahead for the nation for the next four years? Not anything too different, said President Obama this morning in a brief statement. He, Mr. Biden and Congress will continue their work to rebuild our budget surplus, lower our CO2 emissions, create jobs, cut healthcare costs, improve schools - basically the same thrust as his first term. 'Just kind of polishing the fine points', said a smiling Mr. Obama.
