Obama Forms Facebook Group to Stop Oil Spill

In an unprecedented decision to finally take action, President Obama announced Monday that he has started a Facebook group to combat the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf.

"I'm glad he's finally decided to take this situation seriously," stated Fox News Correspondent Sean Hannity. "He's had all this time to act and done nothing."

The group, called "Stop the BP Oil Spill NAO" has gotten off to a good start, according to White House officials.

"The group has 68 members right now, and I've been sending invites out to my friends like crazy," the President stated, "I'm pretty sure once we get a million subscribers, we'll have this entire situation in the bag."

Several people seem reluctant to join the group.

"You betcha this socialist group is gonna start spamming my wall with liberal propaganda the moment I join," stated former Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin. "That will only mess up my Farmville."

"I don't understand how clicking the word 'like' on my computer can have any affect on anything in the real world," said former President Bill Clinton. "If I were in office, I might try actually DOING something. Heck, I might do something anyway since nobody else seems to be."
