Problems at the White House sketch
Written by Grant Foxon
INT. THE WHITEHOUSE. PRESIDENT OBAMA is waiting for HILARY CLINTON. The door opens and she walks in.
MRS CLINTON
Mr President sorry I’m late.
OBAMA
Hilary hi, please take a seat. The reason I’ve asked you here is the BP crisis. We need solutions and answers. And above all escape goats. Any ideas?
MRS CLINTON
Yes sir I’ve been speaking with the census committee and we have a few suggestions for you. First of all the people of Atlantis?
OBAMA
I thought that was in the Atlantic?
MRS CLINTON
Actually sir whilst the Atlantic Ocean was named after Atlantis there are strong evidence that it was in other parts of the world if it even existed. We could put a case to congress that it’s under Mexico and they did it.
OBAMA
I like it. What else?
MRS CLINTON
Communists. A tribe of aquatic Communists could have done it?
OBAMA
Too close to the Atlantis idea Hilary, I’m a bit disappointed there.
MRS CLINTON
Sorry Mr President. How about we say it was the British?
OBAMA
Interesting go on.
MRS CLINTON
We could say that the British deliberately attacked the pipe because of the 1784 peace treaty between our two nations?
OBAMA
Could we not say it was an accident?
MRS CLINTON
Sir with the greatest of respect there has been too much damage for it to be an accident.
OBAMA
I take your point. But I don’t want it too lead to war with the British. For one we don’t have the oil anymore.
MRS CLINTON
We could nuke them sir?
OBAMA considers this.
OBAMA
Hilary, your hearts in the right place but I think we shouldn’t nuke them. Who else would we have to blame plus they’re so small we might miss and God forbid hit somewhere else.
MRS CLINTON
You’re right Mr President.
OBAMA
Mind you hitting France would be no biggie.
MRS CLINTON
Shall I arrange the nuke?
OBAMA
No that’s fine Hilary I was just speculating.
MRS CLINTON
Yes sir.
OBAMA
Hypothetically if we say it was Iraqi insurgents you think that could buy us another few years in Iraq?
MRS CLINTON
Yes sir.
OBAMA
In which case we’re gonna need the brits there. I mean they’re good target practice for our troops.
MRS CLINTON
Yes Mr President.
OBAMA
Ok Hilary we’ll go with the Iraq navy did it.
MRS CLINTON
I’ll arrange a press conference immediately sir.
OBAMA
Thank you Hilary. God bless America!
