Si se puta = ‘Yes, you can”

“He smiled at me and said, ‘Yes, you can,’” she says. “I was so stunned I didn’t know what to do.”

McCallum is among hundreds of people who say they have been healed by the Democratic candidate, in one of the most surprising and little-acknowledged aspects of his campaign.
Reporters have shied away from the story, chalking it up to “Obama-mania” and people’s feelings of elation.

“We don’t talk about it a lot, but yeah, it does happen,” says one staffer who says he has seen multiple people healed on a rope line.
“We don’t know exactly how or why it’s happening, and the Senator won’t talk about it.

This has to be satire...

“Is he THE ONE?”

“At least he’s not a Mormon”

Or someone who is just TOO Christian like Huckabee.

"Si se puta = ‘Yes, you can”"

Ummm. Perhaps you meant it. Perhaps it is a Freudian slip. You might want to go look up the word "puta" in a Spanish dictionary.

In either case, it is exceedingly funny.
