The GOP, frustrated by Obama’s rhetoric, employed the use of the Giant Invisible Fly Swatter to show their hostile disapproval.

Dateline Associated Press: “Axel-who?”

As seen in this EXCLUSIVE AP photo, Chairman President Obama confers with his new senior adviser, Right Teleprompter. After years of dedicated service and unflinching loyalty, Mr. Right (or “Rightsy” to his friends) assumes his new role as the new “go to guy” for his Awesomeness.

Also, it has been reported that Mr. Right will be the primary source for Big O’s inspirational platitudes orations. This, of course would greatly reduce Left Teleprompter’s “face time” with The One.

And what of Barry’s long-time confidant and political architect David Axelrod?

The AP tried to get a comment from Mr. Axelrod. One of his aides advised that he and the conspicuously absent Left Teleprompter were “talking strategy” in the White House Lounge and were, therefore, unavailable.

A Secret Service agent, who would only speak on the condition of anonymity, told the AP, “I didn’t realize a 12 inch by 12 inch piece of Plexiglas could puke up that much tequila, much less drink it. Where the hell is his mouth?”

Could a sudden and mutual reduction in stature for these two White House insiders (who have had, at best, a lukewarm working relationship) cause them to become close allies? Only time will tell.

So, what kind of perks can the new West Wing power broker with the ear of the Premier President expect? According to one HIGH LEVEL official, not many.

“Rightsy’s been telling Barry what to say for years as it is,” quipped the unnamed source. “The only difference now is he can stay in the Oval Office when Hillary comes by for a “private conference” with the Boss. Know what I mean, Sport? (Wink! Wink!) Oh! gotta run! I have to catch my train!!”

New details as they become available.

Great question. I’d love to answer it, however this prompter is out and the answer is above my paygrade.
