Genesis: Obama’s First Seven Months in Office

Month No. 1:

In the beginning, there was darkness.  Chaos and desperation covered the world. War and violence threatened everyone.  People were scared, tired, and starving for change.  But President Obama said, “Yes we can,” and the people believed that a new beginning was possible.  And Obama said, “Let there be light,” and a bright ray of hope swept across the world and Obama saw that it was good.

Month No. 2:

In the second month, President Obama looked out across the land and saw that the land was dry.  So, he called for cash to flow throughout the land like a raging river of water.  Obama said, “Let liquidity pour over the land,” and the gates of the Treasury broke open, pouring out billions upon billions of dollars.  Tidal waves crashed down upon Wall Street and the auto companies, bailing out big banks, insurance giants, and the auto industry, while soaking them up in government control and ownership.  Obama opened up the heavens for these corporations, showering them in billions of bailout dollars.  At the same time, many other corporations and people on Main Street did not receive any cash, and were left helpless, bankrupt, and unemployed with a dire future in a living hell.

Month No. 3:

In the third month, President Obama saw that the Earth and plants were choking in a shroud of smog.  So, Obama called for an end of pollution.  He said that everyone must conserve energy, water, and other natural resources, to sustain our Earth’s precious environment.  Obama called for a green revolution: the creation of new green jobs, the development of renewable energy, and the reduction of our dependency on foreign oil.  He supported renewable energies such as wind turbines and solar panels.  However, nothing new really happened, and people continued on with their daily lives.

Month No. 4:

In the fourth month, President Obama looked out across all boundaries and saw that the sun, moon, and stars were moving further away.  Although no one had reached out to these foreign lands in many years, Obama stretched out an open hand in an effort to communicate with them.  Obama reached out to leaders from these foreign lands such as Cuba, North Korea, and Iran.  He asked them to talk; however, they did not want to talk to him.  He commanded them to end their secret activities; however, they ignored him.  He said he would make their lives hell if they continued their production of weapons of mass destruction; however, they continued to ignore him and Obama saw that it was not good.

Month No. 5:

In the fifth month, President Obama presided over the animals of the sea and the air.  In the war on terrorism, Obama shifted the war effort from Iraq to Afghanistan.  He used massive navy ships, monsters of the sea, and stealth unmanned aerial vehicles, birds of the sky, to help in the war effort.  The ships transported thousands of troops to Afghanistan, while the unmanned aircraft targeted Taliban hiding spots.  Obama launched a full-scale effort, by sea and by air, to hunt down the Taliban and bring an end to terrorism.

Month No. 6:

In the sixth month, President Obama created a healthcare plan for all humans.  He called for universal healthcare.  Obama promised that every single individual would have access to a healthcare service.  He breathed life into the idea of a public option, calling for a government run healthcare service that would generate a competitive market for other healthcare providers.  However, many people disagreed.  The President’s Congress debated and argued over the issue endlessly.  As a result, a good solution or compromise seemed unlikely, if not impossible, Obama saw that it was not good.

Month No. 7:

In the seventh month, President Obama realized that he could not rest.  Indeed, there was still a great deal that he had not accomplished.  The task that he undertook was too complicated to be completed in only seven months.  With all the issues on his table and new conflicts and problems arising, the President needed far more time to achieve his goals.  Obama realized that he would need to lead the people for at least another forty months through the harsh desert to finally reach the Promised Land.
