Bush In Africa…African Kids Sense Deception Too

It is not at all difficult to believe that the children in the preceding picture were actually on their way to a soccer game when they were kidnapped to greet President George W. Bush. Sources never to be revealed told Blackline that this was in truth the case.

“It was an ambush,” ten-year-old Gaius claims, “we were surrounded before we could respond. Three of my men were deployed in trees surrounding us, but the Secret Service got them first. They took my football.”

Gaius is reportedly leader of the growing worldwide resistance group Children Against Ridiculous Photo Opportunities With George W. Bush. Since the photo was taken, the children have retreated underground and they resolve to continue their mission of saving children worldwide from grinning photographs with George W. Bush.

GWB is on a tour of Africa singing his hit song – Evil Is Near – however, it seems there’s an ulterior motive involved; the US is considering a new military base on the continent. Bush has outrightly denied this, saying this particular tour is not for that purpose. Yeah, way to split hairs.

Military base or not, what’s more important is the increasingly universal way children greet this man wherever he goes. I mean, look at those faces!  They are pissed! When a child’s day is interrupted (not excited) by the president of the United States of America, I would call that a crisis of leadership.

Let’s all come together to save these children from future ridiculous photo opportunities.  It might be the greatest challenge of this century, well, at least until January 20th, 2009 when the words ‘president of the United States’ means something completely different.
