But seriously, I want to thank you all for having me back this year. I really appreciate it – especially in light of the fact that the NAACP top brass is a little miffed with my legislative agenda. Fortunately for all Americans, they have a president would never be so petty as to turn down your kind invitation out of pure vitriol and political spite. After all, the last president to flip the bird to you people that way was Herbert Hoover, and the last thing I want is history books mentioning me and that loser in the same sentence. Well, aside from all the sentences about that whole "millions of jobs lost" thing. But then you lazy welfare monkeys don't need me to tell you about unemployment, do you?

I'm told that once upon a time, there was this colored fella – some of you may have even heard of him – named Dr. Martin Lawrence King. Or whatever. Now this Dr. King had a dream. It was a dream about injustice and oppression being replaced by freedom and justice. A dream about children living in an America where they don't get judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, and blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda. Sheesh – sounds more like a nightmare than a dream if you ask me! I mean, if that's how things really worked, I'd have ended up pumping gas instead of going to Yale and having rich guys buy me my own oil company.
