Washington - White House talks over the future of America lasted well into the evening yesterday, while country officials bickered over appropriate acronyms for new government-funded programs.Staff members tossed around ideas for programs to make college more affordable for the middle class, with names like Cash Handed for Education and Progress (CHEAP), and Degenerate Unless Money Beg (DUMB), as well as names for health care reform including Dosage Instantaneous Ecstasy (DIE) and Offering Up Cheap Help (OUCH).
“This is one of the toughest parts about the job,” President Obama said in an e-mail sent from his Blackberry.
Around two this morning, officials reportedly raided the Obama’s game closet in the hopes of finding inspirational acronyms in Boggle and Scrabble, and called it a night around four.
"In the end we decided it would be best to employ linguists to head up our newest program: Creating Relevant Acronyms for Politicians (CRAP).” Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced.
