<p><em>The following advertisement was found in the recycling bin of the Oval Office early this morning. It appears that during Monday night&#8217;s debate, when Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney called President Obama’s visits to the Middle East immediately following his 2008 appointment to office an “apology tour” and Obama fired back a denial of that criticism immediately, millions of Americans began requesting an apology tour of their own from both candidates for their appalling behavior in recent months. Seeing an opportunity, both camps met briefly and even put together a short advertisement in the form of a flyer, hoping that the 2012 Election Apology Tour would boost each side’s image and integrity in the polls, particularly in swing states. Indeed, an apology tour may be in order; while <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/national/cnn-poll-obama-romney-3rd-presidential-debate-watchers-take-say-obama-had-aggressive-performance"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">CNN reported</span></a> </span></span>that about 48 percent of Americans believe that Obama won Monday’s debate and 40 percent believe Romney to be the winner, a whopping 95 percent believe that both of them have “acted like total assholes throughout this entire election.” White it appears that the Apology Tour won’t come to fruition, the original flyer is below.</em></p>
