| President Obama to World: Je Suis Charlie Who? |
During Monday’s routine cabinet meeting at the White House, a foreign affairs advisor read aloud for pending presidential approval a prepared press release.
It acknowledged that the Obama administration had dropped the ball in not sending a more senior representative to participate in the ‘Je Suis Charlie’ Paris march on Sunday, which was attended by 40 world leaders.
Reportedly, that is when President Obama leaned over to Vice President, Joe Biden and whispered into his ear, “Je Suis Charlie who?”
“You know,” Biden whispered back. “The famous general, statesman and architect of the Fifth French Republic and its first president as well, Charles de Gaulle.”
“Oh man,” sighed the president. “Did I almost make a big mistake. I thought they meant Charlie Brown.”
“Yeah, me too,” added Biden. “I had to look it up on Wikipedia.”
“Say, didn’t I shut them down?” asked President Obama.
“No,” replied Biden. “Not yet.”
