Vatican insiders today report what is an apparent "testing the water" move by the White House to suggest President Barack Obama as a possible replacement for retiring Pope Benedict XVI.
Father Guido Sarducci, unofficial Vatican spokesman, confirmed that a "highly placed person" in the administration had floated the idea of naming Obama the Vicar of Christ on Earth when Pope Benedict steps down at the end of the month.

Pope Biased.
Make him pope and get him out of our pockets.
Exactly. Israel could rebuild Solomon’s temple on Temple Mount. Then Obama could have a throne constructed there, sit down and declare himself ruler of the planet.
Not everyone will remember Father Guido Sarducci.....
I was a winner in the “Find the Pope in the Pizza” Contest.
Congratulations. I admire your pattern-recognition skills. What did you win — an indulgence?
some? try a lot (of the laity at least)
Why give up being an emperor just to be a Pope?.
Too late!
I just sent my application this morning.
It may be a day or two until I hear back.
I’m confident they will view me most favorably for the job.
Well, of course you’re the right man for the job, but just make sure that O’zer0 doesn’t try to usurp your position.
You know how good he is at voter fraud.
Hell, he’d probably switch the black and white smoke materials until he wins. Just watch your back.
