This is a parody website, right? Please tell me this is a joke!

If not, RIP America.

I imagine the Republicans won't let Obama make the replacement.

I'll be nice and say that I feel very bad for his family.

Obama could nominate Lincoln and that party would still say no. Embarrassing how bad they've gotten.

RIP, I have immense respect for the man even as I hated almost everything he stood for.

Can't Obama make a recess appointment?
