Don’t put it past him.

Trouble is, I had to read it twice to realize it was satire.

[ThomasThomas]

He has just as much right to do this as I have the the right to urge the Catholics to select a Baptist than can cook great Texas stile mesquite barbecue. Now that I think about it, There is a former Baptist preacher who is a priest near me. Now only if this California born dude and barbecue.

John, you are SO good!

[redhead]

;o) Right, Obie. We’ll get right on that...

[Tanniker Smith]

That’s why it’s “Semi-Satire”

[JCBreckenridge]

Satire? What Satire? ;)

[Epsdude]

I though Obama was going to be the pope.....

With this group in charge, I always check the source after reading most headlines. Unfortunately, so many of the news articles are real.

[COBOL2Java]

You should forward this to Sheila Jackson Lee. She’s dumb enough to think it’s real, and maybe she’ll read it from the House floor.

[Fred Hayek]

Yes, I know it’s satire. But maybe Zero would really like to ask the Catholic Church to reach outside the denomination and appoint Vickie Gene Robinsin as Pope.

[SuziQ]

To assist the Church in finding a “progressive” Pope, President Obama is reported to have forwarded a list of what he considers “acceptable candidates.”

ROTFL!! Frankly, I could imagine him doing just that!!

Hah! I fully expect they will. BTW, I know it's satire.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Another excellent job this week, John. I didn’t get your ping yet, but your headline really got me in a lather! I think I caught on by paragraph 3 or so.

POF

[a fool in paradise]

More gay priests. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

[kaehurowing]

I don’t know why Obama couldn’t simultaneously serve as Pope and President. Since he won the Nobel Peace Prize, he obviously is qualified to be Pope as well.

[RedMDer]

[ApplegateRanch]

If the Catholics were truly serious about Ecumenism, they would pick a Muslim to be Pope; after all, the Pope is not required to be a priest. /sar

[WashingtonSource]

I’m sure he’s working on this behind the scenes? Maybe he blackmailed the Pope into resigning. Nothing is beyond the pale for this vile Communist monster illegally occupying the White House.
