Facing opposition to his health care reform proposals, President Barack
Obama has decided to reach out to a key demographic: morons.

Starting this week, Mr. Obama will host a series of town halls to roll
out new features of his health care plan which will extend health care
coverage to "all idiotic Americans," in the words of one White House source.

"We clearly underestimated the role that doofuses and dimwits were going
to play in this debate," the source said. "We want to send them the
message that this plan will give them coverage - but we need to come up
with a one-syllable word for ‘coverage.'"

But critics of the President's new plan worry that extending coverage to
every American who is a few bricks shy of a load could triple the size
of the nation's deficit.

"The sheer number of lamebrains in the U.S. is much greater than the
Administration estimates," says Davis Logsdon, who studies the
demography of idiots at the University of Minnesota. "Just look at
Glenn Beck's ratings."
