In a surprise move, Pope Benedict XVI crowned US President Barack Obama "Holy Roman Emperor" today in a rose garden ceremony.
In a statement, the Pope said "Emperor Obama follows in the footsteps of Charlemagne and the Emperor Constantine."
In other news, Chinese Premier Hu Jintao announced plans to restore the Qing dynasty, saying that Barack Obama -- a direct descendant of the last Manchu Emperor -- would be China's new Emperor.
However, Turkish officials were quick to deny widely published reports of a restoration of the Byzantine Empire. "Turks wiped out the Byzantines in 1453. There are simply no Byzantines here for Obama to be Emperor of," said a frustrated Recep Tayep Erdogan. "We'd love to crown him Emperor, but it just seems impractical."

Sweet!
Rush must have just read your thread. The headline was mentioned.
Rush just mentioned your thread title, but didn’t give credit to FR.
Indeed he did. An honor to be cited by Rush.
News Flash: Vienna, Budapest, Prague

Her Imperial Majesty Michelle in the name of the Emperor and King issued a decree ordering the arrest and execution of all the living descendents of the Hapsburg dynasty.
"Holy Roman Emperor, Batman!"
I am trying to read more about this, and cannot find the story ANYWHERE. I looked at the Vatican site, but I don’t read latin. Can anybody give me another link? FR is the ONLY site I have seen anything about the pope crowning Obama “Holy Roman Emperor”. I need more.
R U Series?
What do you mean by “R U Series”? You state that this information about Obama being crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the pope, is an excerpt from the vatican’s website. I did not see anything there about it, nor did I find anything ANYWHERE online. I checked CNN, I checked FOX.. the only info I found on it is located on your site, which frankly does not have much information to offer.
SO, can you back this up with more information, please?
AP: President Obama greets Pope Benedict XVI Friday, on his visit to Washington. The Pope crowned Obama Holy Roman Emperor in a Rose Garden Ceremony.
Yes. I realize that Obama MET the pope, which is all that these pictures show. But I do not see the pope crowning Obama “Holy Roman Emperor”. And it was NOT all over the news yesterday. It was only on your site. Can you verify it, or not?
I see that you are very new here. This is a joke. You’ll find a lot of humor on FR.
Yes, I am new here. I prefer to read the truth, and have no desire for such overuse of jokes and satire. I guess I appreciate what you all are trying to do, if you are trying to expose Obama for the dangerous, dishonest man that he is. But I think the TRUTH is a better means of doing that.
Thanks, anyway! Y’all have fun.
Well, you’ll find more truth here than anything. We also have a sense of humor. It is possible to have both. If you stick around long enough you’ll know what to look for. The “R U Series” was your first clue. Lighten up a little. With the whole Peace Prize thing yesterday, folks got a little loopy around here. True, breaking news can almost always be found here first.
Have a good weekend!
