Re: Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mai

WASHINGTON—Having admittedly "reached the end of [his] rope," President Barack Obama sent a rambling 75,000-word e-mail to the entire nation Wednesday, revealing deep frustrations with America's political culture, his presidency, U.S. citizens, and himself.

According to White House sources, Obama "snapped" late Tuesday afternoon when a staffer reminded him he was scheduled to take a call from Speaker of the House John Boehner. At that point, a visibly disgusted Obama was observed slowly repeating the words "House Speaker Boehner" before ordering everyone to leave the Oval Office, where he sat typing and, according to some, banging angrily on his keyboard for the next five hours.

except Obama did truly send a "frustrated" email

Obama "frustrated," emails supporters to pressure Congress on his jobs plan
By Lynn Sweet on August 31, 2011 9:17 PM | No Comments

WASHINGTON--The subject line on the Obama campaign email--this one ostensibly from President Obama himself--said "frustrated."

I think the Onion got a hold of the special copy of the e-mail to his "special" supporters.

I take it that you got this from the Fox News website.

Fox News Posts Onion Obama Story Amid Real News (update)

The Friday after Thanksgiving can be a slow news day, but that probably doesn't explain Fox News posting a fake Onion story about President Obama alongside its real news stories.

The satirical story, with the headline "The Onion: Frustrated Obama Sends Nation Rambling 75,000-Word E-Mail," appeared in the Fox Nation section of the site Friday.

Oh, this happened back in 2010.

‘Literally Unbelievable’ charts Facebook reactions to fake news on The Onion
by Dave Parrack

Don’t believe everything you read on the Web, especially if the source is an openly satirical newspaper posting openly fake stories.

The Onion is a satirical newspaper that has been around for decades (print edition in 1988, website in 1996). Which is certainly a long enough period of time to expect most people to have heard of it and know what it does. But apparently not, as some people read the purposely made-up stories on The Onion website and decide they’re believable enough to be true.

What does an Internet user do when they see a story that intrigues, annoys, or shocks them? They post it on Facebook (or Twitter or another social networking site) along with a sentence or two detailing their opinion on said story. Other people often then chime in and a debate ensues. Which is fine, or even healthy. Except when the story being debated is completely fake, as all those originating on The Onion are.
