From the article: "After months of heated negotiations and failed attempts to achieve any kind of consensus, President Obama turned 50 years old Thursday, drawing strong criticism from Republicans in Congress. "With the host of problems this country is currently facing, the fact that our president is devoting time to the human process of aging is an affront to Americans everywhere," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who advocated a provision to keep Obama 49 at least through the fall of 2013. "To move forward unilaterally and simply begin the next year of his life without bipartisan support-is that any way to lead a country?" According to White House officials, Obama attempted to work with Republicans right up until the Aug. 4 deadline, but was ultimately left with no choice except to turn a year older." Thoughts?

I would have gone to Chicago and personally wished him a happy birthday but, alas, it was a Fat-Cats-Only affair :(

My birthday's coming in about 10 weeks. I'll let you in to my party for only $500.

He's got to put his foot down sometime. Seems like the Republicans won't budge on anything. This is an issue that I truly believe he is in the right, and the GOP is stonewalling for no reason other than looking out for their own skins in the upcoming re-election.

I've never been to a birthday party that costs $40,000 per person and another $10,000 to have your picture taken with the b-day boy.

Republicans are right. Obama has no right to age! He's supposed to remain the all powerful being that never ages to weed out the idiots that worship him. :x

I'm simply amazed at how the onion manages to maintain such a high quality of satire.

It's always so spot on.

I am the hero Congress deserves. But not the one it needs right now. And so They'll hunt me. Because I can take it. Because I'm not their hero. I'm a silent gaurdian. A watchful protector. A white knight.

While we are on this subject, this is my favorite political parody from The Onion. It really emphasizes not only how it makes fun of both sides, but also how each party is so disconnected from the realities of its constituents it's not even funny.
