The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Obama's Salt, Too

Text Size

Obama's Food and Drug Administration plans this year to impose legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products. Nanny Barack might want to check again the list of the top-10,000 problems facing the world.

Obama's Salt, Too
By Asher Embry

Obama's nanny FDA
Is set to take our salt away.

Popcorn, pretzels, Ranch Doritos,
Triscuits, Pringles, Crunchy Cheetos;
Any snack from Grandma Utz;
Almonds, pecans, cashew nuts,
Ruffles, Saltines, aged Slim Jims,
Pickles, Margarita rims.

Barack will wage an all out war
On all these food that we adore.
When his paternalism's won --
Arugula for everyone.

The Mullahs nearly have the Bomb.
About that O's relaxed and calm.
The threat Barack instead attacks?
Our most beloved salty snacks.

Our salt is gone, but O still gets
The fix he sneaks from cigarettes.

Ha! Perfect!

So now, in addition to stocking up on incandescent bulbs, non-hybrid cars, and a kidney and liver I may need under Obamacare, I need to stockpile Doritos!

Nah, Pete,

Oh, and lots of barbque sauce for flavor. heh.

Oh so now we have this problem, Obama cannot take these 'best things in life' away. I love SALT!! No one will stop me. This guy does not have the right to do that!

So i guess salt just reaches the top of the list of all the things needed to be fixed in america, how about focussing on real problems rather than a lousy food product that people with get anyway. O Obama again, your dissapoint me
