Markets Crash on Pictures of Obama Losing Shirt

@ 08:22 PM (11 months, 5 days ago)

 

Global markets swooned today in reaction to photos showing that President-elect Barack Obama had lost his shirt.

The pictures depicting a shirtless Mr. Obama wandering about on a deserted stretch of beach stoked fears that the U.S.'s financial woes were deeper than previously reported.

"We have had a steady drumbeat of bad news about the U.S. economy for weeks now," said Tracy Klugian, global asset analyst for HSBC.  "Learning that the President-elect no long has a shirt to his name was the last thing these markets needed."

In an attempt to calm investors. Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs said that the President-elect still owned a shirt and denied rumors that Mr.Obama had invested funds with Bernie Madoff.

  2. I don't know Ed. I'll let you know when he invites me to play. In the meantime, I bet Mos or Ernie may have an idea of Obama's handicap.
