WASHINGTON, D.C., November 20, 2009 – (WSFB-AC). As healthcare reform legislation threatens to bog down in the murky depths of Senate committees, President Obama surprised many analysts on Wednesday when he announced his new strategy.

“Oh fuck it,” Obama said during a speech to elementary school students in South Korea as part of his trip through Asia. “I just don’t care anymore.”

When asked to elaborate, Obama said, “Listen, I have four doctors and nine nurses right outside my office, ready to provide free treatment to me and my family. Air Force One has an onboard operating room. That’s right, my airplane has its own operating room. I also have a little thing called a Nobel Prize. So fuck healthcare reform. I don’t care anymore. It’s difficult for me to put into words how much of a shit I don’t give.”

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs followed the same theme with reporters during his afternoon briefing. “This administration was committed to enacting health insurance reform that provides health care stability and security for all Americans. We thought that this could be our legacy to the American people. Notice all the past tense verbs? Now we’re just kind of tired of all this shit. We’re all pretty rich, and have sweet government bennies, so personally we’re golden. Go fuck yourselves.”
