The seemingly miraculous rise of Barack Obama to the US presidency has inspired a widespread religious-like devotion. A recent Reuters survey gleaned some revealing insights into the thinking of many Americans.
“Look, he was born in a stable,” claimed Ivy Green, a respondent from Fresno, California. “And Kenya’s not that far from Bethlehem. Who else do we know of that started so low yet rose so high?”
“Jesus came to Jerusalem riding an ass,” observed Mark Gulliver, a respondent from Ames, Iowa. “Well, the ass is the symbol of the Democratic Party. Since Barack rode the Democratic Party to Washington, I think this is a pretty clear message from God as to what Obama’s mission is.”
“There’s no way that his book—Dreams from My Father—was based on his supposed father Barack senior,” alleged Bobo Mentecato, a respondent from El Paso, Texas. “I mean, he divorced his son’s mother and had multiple wives. No, Barack was speaking about his ‘heavenly father,’ just like Jesus was.”
Expectations are running high that President Obama possesses extraordinary powers. “He will raise the economy from the dead with his stimulus plan,” Gulliver predicted. “Just like Jesus fed the multitudes with a few fish and loaves of bread, Barack will feed 300 million Americans with newly created money. He will spread the wealth around. No one will ever need to work again. It will be a miracle to behold.”
In related news, President-Elect Barack Obama blamed the current economic recession on greed and promised that new regulations he plans to implement will “usher in a new era of brotherhood and solidarity by mandating that investment and business decisions be focused on need as the new ‘prime directive.’ Profit must take a back seat to concern for one’s fellows. My administration will strive to make this happen.”

Seemingly?
Seemingly??
Haven't these people been paying attention??? It IS a miracle!
MY GOD thats scary stuff!
“BO Knows.”
But he ain’t telling.
One of your best, thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Yes, not only can our elected and appointed officials such as Treasury and Fed chairman engage in thuggery without consequence or accountability, it’s destined to become a far more widespread practice. What a blessing.
“Jesus came to Jerusalem riding an ass,”
And was eventually executed on the wishes of HIS OWN PEOPLE....
I LOVE it when morons use this example for Obama...
Good job!
The sad part is that some of the satire is more true, than we would wish, especially this part:
“In related news, President-Elect Barack Obama blamed the current economic recession on greed and promised that new regulations he plans to implement will “usher in a new era of brotherhood and solidarity by mandating that investment and business decisions be focused on need as the new ‘prime directive.’ Profit must take a back seat to concern for one’s fellows. My administration will strive to make this happen.”
He practically said this, when he was introducing his financial regulatory team. Just what we need in an economic slump.
Merry Christmas John and keep up the good work..
Yeah, inspired to lose my lunch. Or to raise my blood pressure (or go hit the gym/weights to reduce it). Or to teach my kids about the idiocy of the majority (P.T. Barnum was right).
I am not one of them.
Many Made Insipid by Obama Story
When 0’b announces he is staying in Hawaii or posibily Guam, how inspired will they feel.
The two men do have one thing in common looks-wise, Dumbo ears.
Smith says everything is still in the air right now......meaning no funding yet for the project.
Can you picture "The Obama Story" playing at your local Bijou? Nothing on his birth, his parents, his native land, his college days, his law school days, his attorney days, etc.
They'd have to splice in scenes of Bethlehem and the manger, and maybe some clips of "Andy Hardy Goes to College" complete with ivy-covered buildings, saddle shoes and pull-over sweaters. Maybe a shot or two of a Perry Mason courtroom scene.
Go for it, Will. We can't wait to see the movie while eating no-butter popcorn.

” Profit must take a back seat to concern for one’s fellows. My administration will strive to make this happen.”
I’ll close the business first!
There’s no reason to be in business except profit!!
Reminds me of a film...
I was inspired — to go out and buy an expensive “assault weapon.” Haha.
A classic, for sure.
