White House to become Bed and Breakfast

Post Convention delegates sans straw hats, flags and tired opinions. Are they Democrats or Republicans? That is impossible to determine at the present time.

(Warshington) In yet another attempt to jump start the lame economy the Obama Administration today announced that the White House would become a bed and breakfast as early as this fall. The move, seen as an attempt to portray gov’ment as a friend of the people in an election year, came as daily tours have increased to the point of capacity. The guided excursions have been popular since the Monroe Administration but have failed to generate enough money to pay the electric bill on the place.

First Lady Michelle Obama will operate the bed and breakfast which will focus on the East Wing of the White House. A spokesman for Mrs Obama said that she figures on doing the majority of the work since her husband is always to busy being President to help very much. It was not clear if Obama would be joining guests for juice and coffee or if a full breakfast would be included in the steep lodging fee.

“We’ve got extra room here that has not been fully employed since Abe Lincoln was around,” said the spokesperson. “When the Reagans lived here Nancy redecorated a lot of the rooms in western cowboy motif to please her husband who often wandered these halls looking for lost calves. Later when the Clintons were in residence the space was transformed into a music studio and parlors of ill discretion. The second Bush family to live here did little to improve the environs and, when they moved out, they lost a hefty damage deposit that had been paid upon George’s reputed election to the highest office in the land.

Already the project has received healthy response from the three corners of the world.

“We have a large family from Shanghai coming this week but due to the trade deficit we really can’t bring ourselves to charge them,” said the source.

Persons interested in staying at the White House Bed and Breakfast should call Vice President Joe Biden who is reportedly quite pleased to finally have something useful to do while he waits for the campaign to heat up.
