This article written byAndy Borowitz shows satire by making fun of the fact that people will go to great lengths in order to blame president Obama for anything that goes wrong. When Borowitz says that Obama must leave office due to Beyonce's lip singing scandal, which really if not Obama's fault what so ever, it makes people realize how much Obama gets blamed for things that he has no control of. It also shows how many people will become superstitious about things, such as lip singing scandal and think that will effect Obama's presidency, which is ridiculous. This given article also shows satire when Hilary Clinton is brought up and the fact that since she answered every question about this incident she must of been trying to fool someone. This is satirizing how Americans do not trust anyone in office, even someone who is answering every question he/she is being asked. This given piece of satire does a great job at making fun of how people think about Obama and politicians in general but doing it in a way that is not directly hurtful to anyone.
