In a staggering abuse of executive authority, Barack Hussein Obama has forced the Department of Home Box Offices (HBO) HBO to give him an advanced screening of new Game of Thrones episodes.
According to Executive Order 113714, HBO is now required to surrender all completed Game of Throne’s episodes to the executive office.
Critics in Washington quickly denounced the executive action, while the president’s defenders made sure to point out similar actions by previous presidents.
“There is a strong tradition of the executive making special requests for premium cable programming,” said U.S. Attorney General General Barry Manilow. “George W. Bush ordered advanced screenings of Deadwood. Bill Clinton even went as far as to order Showtime to let him direct the series finale of The Red Shoe Diaries.”
