Washington DC: Reports from White House suggest, Barack Obama the first African-American President of United States was annoyed by Pakistan President “Hugging” Zardari.

Barack Obama created history today by becoming first “Black President in White House”. More than 2 million people from all over the world gathered to watch this historic event. Though most visitors are law abiding few mischievous elements too mingled with the crowd - principal among them Pakistan President “Asif Ali Zardari”.

Pak. Prez. Zardari is famous for torturing world leaders by “hugging” them. His high profile victims include Indian Prime Minister “Manmohan Singh”, Afghan President “Hamid Karzai”, Tibet Spiritual leader “Dalai Lama” and many Middle Eastern leaders. Dalai Lama suffered the most, as this ailing leader was hugged by Zardari for more than 10 minutes in November 2007. Shocked Dalai Lama was admitted in a Mumbai hospital for treatment of respiratory problems. World leaders condemned Zardari, but he shrugged off saying, “Its part of South Asian tradition to hug friends. World should learn from Manmohan Singh. See how he keeps on smiling even if I trouble him the most”. World leaders thought after this incident Zardari will behave properly with world leaders. But events unfolded here in Washington DC today proved they were wrong.

When Obama was walking to the dais to take oath, Zardari came in from nowhere and hugged Obama. Zardari was not letting go Obama for nearly 4 minutes. Thanks to Zardari; Obama who should have taken oath at 12:00 PM EST can take oath only at 12:05 PM.

When reporters asked about this, polite Obama shrugged off the incident with his famous smile. But insider reports suggest Obama said, “I am very much annoyed with this person, “hugging” Zardari. I even stammered during my great moment because of the trauma caused by Mr.Zardari. People know me as ‘No Drama Obama’. I don’t know how to handle too dramatic Zardari”.

Reports suggest US Secret Services are coming up with a strategy to counter “hugging” Zardari. Meanwhile United Nations Security Council (UNSC) had issued guidelines to world leaders to protect them from “hugging” Zardari.

In an unprecedented move which shook international scientific community, NASA’s rovers “Spirit and Opportunity” applied for Mars citizenship.

The rovers were part of NASA’s mission to study Mars. The rover “Spirit” landed on Mars on 3 rd Jan 2004. “Opportunity” joined “Spirit” 21 days later. In the last five years they have returned more than 2,00,000 images and travelled over 21 kilometers on Mars surface.

Last Saturday, NASA’s top brass gathered at their Washington D.C. head quarters to celebrate NASA’s five years on Mars. Even while the celebrations were on unconfirmed reports started floating around that the two rovers have resigned from NASA and decided to apply for Mars citizenship. However agency executive Michelle Griffin declined to comment on rumors. But after a while official resignation letter came in from both rovers. The brief letter read - “It’s a great honor to work with scientists and Robots in NASA. It’s a great learning experience. How ever after five years in the same project we desperately need change. That’s the reason we decide to become Mars citizens, as it will help us achieve our career goals. Our best wishes to NASA on all its future endeavors. Do stay in touch at (emailid with an unknown Mars domain)”. Reports also came in from Mars’s Department of Immigration (DOI) that the earthlings (rovers) “Spirit and Opportunity” had applied for Mars citizenship and they are under processing.

Upon confirmation, NASA executives Michelle Griffin and Sarah Dale rushed to white house to brief President George Bush on this latest development. Post brief President called upon President-Elect Barack Obama to keep him posted.
