I was just reminiscing about one of my favorite Onion articles ever:

WASHINGTON, DC—Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over."

In this January 2001 satire, Bush goes on to detail all the ways he will correct Clinton's "mistakes." ("Bush said he will do whatever it takes to undo the tremendous damage not done by the Clinton Administration to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.") It turns out there's an annotated version out there, which links each of Bush's fictional promises to... a real-world description of how he actually carried them out.
