This piece is part of a larger satirical online newspaper by Roy Rivenburg. The paper entitled Not The Los Angeles Times is created in a way that makes it look similar to the New York Times. The paper is intended for an audience that has an understanding of the current events and also has a sense of humor.
This article states that Obama wants to bailout “responsible gamblers” who were “duped into emptying their wallets by predatory blackjack dealers, cheap cocktails and fancy slot machines with hypnotic flashing lights." The article then takes the joke a step further by saying that the plan will also help people who have lost money in arcades playing the crane game. This pokes fun at Obama because he campaigned on the idea of fiscal responsibility but has bailed out people that were fiscally irresponsible. This has been seen as a contradiction by many.
