Presidential Candidate Barry O’Brien Looks an Awful Lot like Obama in a Fake Mustache

New York City: A new Democratic contender entered the race this Friday, shaking up the already volatile solution of candidates and Donald Trump.

Barry O’Brien (D-IL) announced his candidacy for the 2016 election in New York City to a small but energetic crowd of supporters. This previously unknown politician claims to have a moderate liberal platform based on economic and social advances.

O’Brien strikes a familiar chord in the heartstrings of many Americans. This is mainly because he looks suspiciously similar to President Barack Obama if he were to be wearing a fake mustache and glasses, and also if he were 8 feet tall wearing a trench coat.

When confronted about this seeming coincidence, O’Brien defensively denied the claims.

“I’m a real person…. I can certainly deny that I am not Barack Obama wearing a Gaucho mustache while standing on Joe Biden’s shoulders while cleverly wearing a trench coat so I can run for a third term in the White House…” O’Brien nervously told The Freudian Slip as he dabbed sweat off his forehead and upper lip.

A recent congressional investigation into suspicion surrounding O’Brien, however, cleared his name. The report concluded on the evidence,“We have never seen O’Brien and Obama in the same room together. This is conclusive evidence that they can’t be the same person. This is because if Obama really was O’Brien then they would have to be in the same room together because they’re the same person.”

President Obama has declined to comment on this recent turn of events, though a White House representative issued a statement asking for Americans to respect the democratic process and not look too deeply into the hypothetical skeletons in new candidates’ hypothetical closets that they hypothetically keep Gaucho mustaches and trench coats in. The question, however, remains for the American people. Is O’Brien going to focus on the real issues, like where the hell my remote control is?

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
