Especially funny if you've seen the South Park episode:

http://www.theonion.com/content/news/black_guy_asks_nation_for_change

According to witnesses, a loud black man approached a crowd of some 4,000 strangers in downtown Chicago Tuesday and made repeated demands for change.

"The time for change is now," said the black guy, yelling at everyone within earshot for 20 straight minutes, practically begging America for change. "The need for change is stronger and more urgent than ever before. And only you—the people standing here today, and indeed all the people of this great nation—only you can deliver this change."

Love it!

Obama uses the word "change" a lot in his speeches, referring to a change of administration in the US. Beggars obviously ask for "spare change" a lot, so they've just swapped the meaning, and made a news article. And it's especially funny if you've seen the South Park episode because there's an entire episode about zombie-like beggars who go round shouting "Chaaaaaange, chaaaaaaange" throughout the episode.

How on earth did you not understand that?
 
i didnt get it cos i aint seen the episode and never clicked on about the beggars thing, but HAH.

Like I said you don't need to have seen the SP episode to get it, it just makes it funnier. You need a brain to get it evidently.

As for not seeing the beggars bit:

Reports indicate that the black man has been riding from city to city across the country, asking for change wherever he goes. Citizens in Austin, TX said they spotted the same guy standing on the street Friday, shouting far-fetched ideas about global warming. Cleveland residents also reported seeing him in a local park, wildly gesticulating and quoting from the Bible. And last week, patrons at the Starlight Diner in Cheyenne, WY claimed that the black man accosted them while they were eating, repeatedly requesting change.

"I saw him walk in and I knew he was headed straight for our table," said mother of three Gladys Davies. "He just stood there smiling at us for a while, and asked how our food tasted. Then he went and did the same thing at the next table over. The nerve of some people."

Those who encountered the black man Tuesday said he engaged in erratic behavior, including pointing at random people in the crowd and desperately saying he needs their help, going up to complete strangers and hugging them, and angrily claiming that he is not looking for just a little bit of change, but rather a great deal of change, and that he wants it "right now."

That pretty much explicitly states it!
