Barack Obama’s first day on the job

by William (@vambenepe on Twitter)

A phone conversation.

- White House IT support.

- Hi, it’s Barack Obama.

- Good morning Mr. President and welcome to the White House.

- Thanks. Hey, I have a problem with the computer on my desk.

- Is it the screensaver? I know, it’s pretty embarrassing. President Bush got it from the vice-president and he really liked it. I was planning to remove it before you arrive this morning, but you got here before me. Sorry about that.

- Forget the screensaver. It’s the keyboard.

- Pretzel crumbs again, I am sure. Just shake it upside down.

- No it’s just the “Z” key.

- What about it?

- I’ve been pressing “control-Z” all morning. The economy is still a mess, the deficit is still huge, we’re still stuck in Iraq and Guantanamo is still open. And now my hand hurts. What gives?

- …

- Can you help?

- I am sorry Mr. President, I am afraid you cannot undo the work of the previous administration that easily.

- Really? Well, how on earth am I going to do it?

- I think it will take a lot more work.

- You’re positive I really can’t use “control-Z”?

- No you can’t.

    Tell Barack to try “Ctrl-Shift-_”. If it works, it should solve everything.
