"They Think They Fooled Us": Some Famous (And Not So Famous) Knee Jerk Responses to a Barack Obama Media Quote Jon Hall

In the Spring of 2011, President Barack Obama, in a scathing press release statement addressed to the Congress of the United States, reputedly issued this sharp rejoinder to their political maneuvering: "They Think They Fooled Us!" "They Think They Fooled Us!" is a refreshingly humorous view of the contemporary political scene. Contained in this volume are a collection of amusing and uproarious responses from singers, artists, philosophers, statesmen, cartoon characters, comedians, and others-even politicians-as the opinion given to Barack Obama's hyperbolic paeon, "They Think They Fooled Us!" Decidedly stark and attitudinal, "They Think They Fooled Us!" sums up the mood of a generation, and is the author's attempt to expose the follies of the political establishment which rules over the chaotic democracy in a provocative, yet mordantly satirical manner.
