Let's all join in adulation of our Dear Leader:

The history of his leadership is an immortal history in which he has strengthened the Democrat party steering the cause, an ever-victorious history in which he has firmly defended the country, the nation and the Health Care cause with his unique politics and a history of great creations and changes in which he has ushered in a brilliant heyday in building a great prosperous and powerful nation with the might of the single-minded unity of all the people. Under his leadership the Democrat Party has grown to have a unitary idea and leadership fully ensured and strong in its organization and discipline, vanguard ranks of unshakable single-minded unity around its leader and an invincible party leading the construction to victory. The time for bickering is over!

Under his leadership, under so difficult conditions the people of the US have carried out in a big way such Stimulus nature-harnessing projects as large-scale land realignment [for the good of the environment], gravity-fed waterway projects [as long as no semi-endangered species are affected] and power station construction [except nuclear or coal power of course, which would be wrong] and built many modern [green] industrial establishments and production bases in different parts of the country. This is a shining fruition of the great patriotic leadership of President Obama. The US's cause of building a thriving nation is sure to triumph thanks to the leadership of Obama who is making a new history of great prosperity with the might of single-minded unity.

The media calls upon all people to dynamically advance under his leadership to open the gate to a thriving nation at an early date and brilliantly adorn with great victory of US-style Health Care Reform, which will usher in a-hundred-year history of the US shining with the new era.

It's actually pretty frightening how few things I had to change from this bit of North Korean propaganda. North Korea News propaganda puff-piece about President Kim Jong Il, American MSM puff-piece about President Barack Obama ... hard to tell the difference. ACORN? What ACORN? You mean the things in trees? Oh, you mean that ACORN. Oh, well, they're only being attacked by right-wing activists. It's a case of "targeting" you see, with smears and such-like. Oh, you mean Obama has some connection to ACORN? Really? Oh, well, it was a long time ago, and anyway, he says he isn't following the story, and didn't know they were getting federal money. See? Nothing to see here. Move along now. After all, we must be unified in the great cause of Health Care Reform. No more bickering; No more lies; Only the agenda of our Dear Leader.
