BREAKING NEWS: INTRUDER IN WHITE HOUSE--CLINTON REFUSES TO LEAVE, by Andy Borowitz, Dec. 11, 2010

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – It seemed like a good idea at the time.

But twenty-four hours after former President Bill Clinton appeared at the White House to endorse President Obama's tax plan, Mr. Obama is “still looking for the right way to ask him to leave,” an aide confirmed today.

Mr. Obama had assumed that once the former President wrapped things up with reporters yesterday, he would say his goodbyes and depart in a waiting car, “but that kind of didn’t happen,” the aide said.

“Clinton kind of went, ‘Do you have a computer I can use? I just want to check my email,’ and then kind of made himself at home in the Oval Office,” he said. “The President was being polite and all, but you could tell he was kind of pissed.”

After spending the better part of two hours surfing the Internet and watching YouTube videos, the former President announced, “Am I the only one around here who’s hungry? Let’s send [Press Secretary Robert] Gibbs on a Pizza Hut run.”

The aide said that Mr. Obama decided to play “a waiting game” with Mr. Clinton, explaining, “Even the Salahis left eventually.”

But after spending the night “crashing in the Lincoln Bedroom,” the former President was back in the Oval Office, chatting away on the phone.

"He could be there for awhile," the aide said. "He's talking to Bernie Sanders."

UPDATE: Last Tuesday’s Borowitz Report about Obama announcing that he is a Muslim to please Republicans was taken seriously by the official Saudi media. Read about this hilarious international incident here.

That is so cute. The former president was clearly in his element. He just had a moment and President Obama being the gracious person that he is was clearly being hospitable and was probably tickled pink that the former president would spend so much time in his presence.

Anita--

Cute, yes. Keep in mind that these two great men just came out of private 90 minute sit down. We can only imagine how the conversation went--but clearly it was positive and helpful.

The Clintons--both of them--have turned into Obama's biggest allies and supporters!!!

Clark--

Right--it was a nice touch. It gives the Democrats a sense of unity of purpose that is sorely needed at the moment.

I am sure you remember all the angst Clinton put the progressives through during his second term. The key thing to remember is that he won a secfond term quite handily.

Hopefully, President Obama will find a similar path clearing for his second term.
