WASHINGTON – Despite hours of negotiations, President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats were unable to move a brick wall in the center of the White House.

“This wall is weighing down the entire nation, but it just won’t listen to reason,” said Obama at a special press conference. “But I’m dedicated to offering it more leverage in these negotiations.”

For it’s part, the wall – which has numerous Republican talking points spray-painted on it – has shown no inclination to move, for any reason.

“We’ve given this wall everything it could want and more,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “It’s like we’re negotiating with ourselves.”

When asked why Congressional Democrats have yet to just stand up and walk around the wall – bypassing it altogether – Reid said his party wasn’t ready for such a gamble.

“We could ignore the wall. Walk around it. Knock it down or whatever else we want. We’re the majority,” said Reid. “But I think we should just leave it in our way for now. It’ll come around and move on its own.”
