After his election, the first thing Barack Obama did in the White House was to install his magic mirror.

He asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the bestest leader of them all?” The mirror answered, “George W. Bush, of course, you are just a know-nothing from Chicago, the most corrupt place on earth!”

After months of this, Obama decided to become G.W. Bush. After having rejected every good thing the Bush administration did, he decided to proceed as Bush would have. He then asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the bestest leader now?” The mirror answered, “President Sarkozy, of course, because he puts his country before himself. Oh, by the way, I prefer his wife Carla too!”

Mr. Obama is probably now learning French with Rosetta Stone.
