Obama buys microsopt

You silly wabbits---it's "BREAKING NEWS! february 26, 2008 Cash-rich Obama Buys Yahoo Outbids Microsoft for Internet Giant Flush with cash after a deluge of online donations, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill) stunned the business world today by outbidding Microsoft for the Internet giant Yahoo. The purchase of Yahoo is believed to be the largest acquisition of a multibillion-dollar company ever by a Democratic presidential candidate, industry experts said. A spokesman for Microsoft at the company’s Redmond, Washington headquarters acknowledged that the company was “disappointed” to lose Yahoo to Sen. Obama, but added, “We can’t really be mad at him, because we love him so.” The news of Sen. Obama’s $48 billion offer for Yahoo sent a shudder through Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)’s campaign, which for the past six weeks has been subsisting on Ramen noodles. In his televised debate in Cleveland, Ohio with Sen. Clinton, Sen. Obama said that he was able to purchase Yahoo because his campaign was reaping online donations averaging $1.8 billion a day. Mr. Obama also offered to “personally hire” 2 million Ohioans to do odd jobs around his campaign headquarters. “People say, can we really come up with enough errands for 2 million Ohioans to do?” he said. “Yes we can.” Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick praised Sen. Obama’s plan, telling reporters, “His campaign is more than just words, he is offering people a real opportunity to go on a Starbucks run.” Sen. Obama later added, “My campaign is more than just words, I am offering people a real opportunity to go on a Starbucks run.” Elsewhere, President Bush said that the economy was not in a recession, leading economists to conclude that the economy was in a recession." Oddleyer elsewherer meanwhiler, Obama, Yo Mama and Osama---after being polled---and also pooled--- both individually and collectively today---or maybe correctivly?---i get cofuseder---anyhow, they wus asked: 'how's about chipping in to log the b job well?---lotsa inbreeding and chicken fighting going on down that a way---and one or some or i think even alla them declined saying "even us aint' got that much money--and what in tarnation did the co do with that thar 1200 bucks worth of 'hard dollars' they jest filed on enyhows?!" Say---mebbe they can get that black guy who got locked up for dog fighting to put up some loot---this was another deal that wus revelating to moi--i mean, can a black guy be a redneck? i just hadn't considered the possibility before. S'pose it would be discrimination if they couldn't. But---how would you stop them, enyhow--like--how could you tell which wuns wus? Mebbe them screening deals @ the airport? Ultra-violet light? See if they go fishin with larry the cable guy? Ask them if 'Mother' is a whole word? I dunno.....
