In the Beginning was Obama, and He gave the Gift of Internet; and Before Him there Was no Internet, Whatever Google may Say
From the Book of Obama, Chapter and Verse 1:
In thebeginning was Obama, Worker of light and the Hope of People unhappy with that which had made their Country great.
And Obama saw that the world was without Internet, and He knew such a world to be void and formless
So he decided to bestow upon the World the gift of Internet
And some said to Obama, “But Obama! the World already has Internet, as was bestowed upon us by the Gore, Great in his girth and his gift of hyperbole!”
But Obama heard them not; for He knew the world began with His ascension to the Promised Land of the office which He currently Holds
And so He bestowed upon them an Internet, giving it, through His power, for the first time to the People, though some still cried out that this gift was false…
There’s always been a creepy sense of vanguard-esque self-importance among the members of the Obama White House staff. Yesterday, we got more evidence of that, as the White House put out a press release declaring that this first year of Obama marks “the first time the activities at the White House Easter Egg Roll have been broadcast online” (screencap here in case of memoryholing).
The problem? George W. Bush’s White House started offering a live webcast of the Easter Egg Roll in 2002.
I know the chic thing to think these days among Obama staff and supporters is that history — particularly anything “new” or “cool” — started on January 20 of this Year of our Lord 2009, but I’m pretty sure they’re all still aware of the existence of Google™.
All they had to do before putting out a press release pairing the White House seal with an outright falsehood was perform the simplest of Google™ searches to make sure the stuff they were peddling was, in fact, true.
It’s not that hard, I promise. Here, let me show you how easy it really is to get your facts right, if you just bother set aside your ridiculously inflated ego and take the ten extra seconds required to use one of those new-fangled “search engines.”
