In the aftermath of Obama's victory, thousands of supporters have realized their lives are completely empty, or so says this satiric news report by The Onion. They have nothing to talk about, some have lost the ability to process non-Obama related information and others don't understand the election is over. "Clearly they have no friends, nothing to live for" says one reporter as a news teaser stating "Police Luring Supporters Out of Roads with Broadcasts of Talking Points Memo videos" grazes the bottom.
