SUMMARY

The Supreme Court has ordered a recount of votes in Florida, New York, California, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wyoming, resulting in John McCain being declared the President of the United States as of April 1, 2009. This decision follows a motion filed by the Republican National Committee (RNC). Former President Barack Obama has not publicly commented on the situation, although an unnamed source relayed his relief regarding the conclusion of the recount. Additionally, there are unverified reports of McCain's disappearance, with speculation that he was last seen driving a 1972 Impala towards the Mexican border, possibly accompanied by Sarah Palin.

Washington DC - April 1, 2009. The Supreme Court this morning, acting on a motion filed by the RNC has ordered a recount of the votes in Florida, New York, California, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming. The result tips the balance in favor of John McCain who is now the President of the United States. Ex President Barack Obama did not return calls asking for comment. However, an unnamed source quotes him as saying "Thank goodness that's over."

Apparently McCain has disappeared! He was last seen driving a '72 Impala towards the Mexican border.
