Obama Diplomatically Agrees to Resign Presidency if Re-Elected

Mr Obama, who was elected president in 2008, insisted that the move would ultimately be the "correct thing for all parties" and would serve as a key decision that both he and right wing hawks could agree on.
"Throughout my presidency, I have made repeated attempts at appealing to not only fellow Democrats but legislators within the Republican Party. I believe that my resignation as commander-in-chief would go a long way to smoothing over tensions that exist across the party divide."
"As president, it is my job to make the tough decisions," he continued. "While I won't now get the chance to preside over some of the sweeping and progressive changes I'd promised, my decision to stand down will at least help millions of small-minded and deluded Republicans to move on with their lives."
The president's decision was met with derision by the Romney campaign, with one spokesman insisting that Obama was "simply trying to run away from the problems facing America."
"In making a decision like this, Obama is not showing the true leadership of a president. Choosing to walk away from the job at hand is just another sign of his cowardice. There are two things that our campaign hopes to achieve in November: first, stop Obama from getting re-elected; second, if this fails, we must veto his resignation. Period."
Meanwhile, in the event of Obama's resignation, it is unclear how Republicans will react to the eventuality of Joe Biden being sworn in as president.
America's Father Not Going to Tell Nation a Second Time
WESTMORELAND, VIRGINIA COLONY - As the country's highly documented problems with civil discourse continue to spiral out of control, the Father of the United States, President George Washington, has warned that he is not going to tell the nation a second time, adding: "buck up."
"Nation, you'd better listen and listen good, because I'll be damned if I have to tell you again," he yelled Monday. "Stop getting on everyone's nerves or there will be hell to pay."
The retired general insists that "he has about had it up to here" with all of the cross-party bickering and just wants the country to knuckle down and concentrate hard on electing a president without resorting to loud and obnoxious behavior.
"America, is it really so difficult for you to act like an adult for once?" He continued. "I mean for goodness sake, you're three-hundred-and-thirty-six-years-old going on three. Cool it."
Mr. Washington went on to say that if he hears one more word about "the right to life," "the sanctity of marriage" or "birth certificates" he won't think twice about giving the nation what for.
"If I've told you once, America, I've told you a thousand times: people have a right to believe what they want to believe - whether this be a certain religion, lifestyle or political ideology - and you have no right to tell them different. Now, get!"
The nation's behavior has reportedly caused Mr. Washington a great deal of public embarrassment in recent months, something that the first president of The United States says he is not going to simply sweep under the carpet.
"You've made a mockery of me in front of 203 other countries," he continued. "Just the other day, I was having to apologize to the nations of France and Germany because you had to go and run your mouth and make unfounded remarks about socialism. I won't stand for it any longer, America."
"If the European Union, with everything it is going through right now, can sit down and discuss things in a civilized fashion, then why can't you?," continued Washington. "You simply have no respect for other people's feelings. I have had it!"
Meanwhile, at press time, America has reportedly been banished to its bedroom where it has been firmly advised to think seriously about its recent actions.
