In an attempt to ease growing tension with the White House the chairman of the FOX News channel has announced that it is offering President Obama a starring role in one of its most popular prime time television shows.

“We want to show that we are willing to work with the White House. So we are offering Obama a role playing the President of the United States on the next season of “24,” Roger Ailes, chairman of Fox News Network stated in an interview with the Washington Times.

“We have tailored the role to make him as comfortable as possible. He will play a president trying to deal with major financial crises at home and military conflicts overseas. All the while he is being harassed by the show’s main character, Jack Bauer, who has intelligence leading him to believe that the president is actually a Kenyan covert operative trying to turn the United States into a socialist country.”

Ailes points out that since the series is twenty four episodes long the character of Jack Bauer will have ample opportunities to delve deep into all branches of the government gathering clues to help him build the case against Obama.

“I do not want to give too much away but in one episode Jack will play a pimp and Chloe will play a prostitute as they attempt to find evidence at a Washington D.C. office of ACORN," Ailes stated. “And in another episode Jack is captured and is interrogated by Barney Frank. All I can say is Jack had better watch his ass.”

Ailes was asked if there was any truth in the rumor that if Obama agrees to play president the part of Jack Bauer would be played by FOX host Glenn Beck. “While I would love to see that might be a deal breaker. But I can confirm that the role of Vice President will be played by Homer Simpson.”
