The writer, if she was determined to write about the ridiculous, could just as easily have taken the tack --that is if one wasn't writing to the command of the character destroying artisans of the GOP to select what in most would be seen as the positive aspects of Obama and turning them into a liability-- taken the tack that Obama's fitness was something to inspire the populace. Really, I think it past time to get rid of all the news related propaganda media as start over. The result couldn't be worse than this.Too Fit to Be President?

Is this a joke?
When I read an excerpt from this article on Krugman's blog I was sure this had to be satire. There's nothing, however, on the webpage to indicate it might be satire. It appears to be a 'serious' article from an insane person who who gets published by an insane propaganda organization the WSJ?

Hahaha!
This is exactly why it's such a challenge for satirists to be funny these days.
I can see how it would be. I literally kept going back to the webpage looking for something that indicated it was satire. I couldn't believe it was for real... but then, of course it's not for real, it's propaganda isn't it.
