I would think that all Jewish and Christian people who care about the State of Israel and the people of Israel would do everything in their power to prevent Barack Obama winning the US Presidential election. I suppose that the liberal Jews and Christians do not care about the future of Israel.

Notices were carried in all newspapers working for His election; bells tolled across the country, and town criers announced the occasion…”

I suggest a mud-wrestling match between Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama for the title of “Black Messiah”.

His birthday registry gift list is all for handheld mirrors and tape recorders so he can be sure he always has a way to see his beautiful visage and listen to the sound of his own voice.

Ilana, is there another religion that even gets in the same ballpark as Christianity when it comes to the variety, beauty, quality, and sheer quantity of music that it has inspired? [NO.–IM]

Incidentally, George Will has written a couple of interesting columns on the tediousneess of both the Messiah and the Warmonger:

Sadly, we have to endure for 4 more months. Let’s play some Handel!

1. I’ve actually worked in the private sector my whole life. I have to produce or else. Can Barack say that?

2. I don’t want to run your life. You’re free to screw up. Just don’t expect the rest of us to bail you out.

3. On the subject of bail outs, no bail outs for banks or financial institutions on my watch. Sink or swim, baby.

4. No more ridiculous foreign wars. All the troops come home. The American empire is ending either way.

5. No more domestic wars either, and that includes the idiotic drug war. Didn’t we learn from alcohol prohibition?

6. There’s lots more where that came from, but I’ve exceeded my word limit.

Tell Obama, “No thanks!” Vote for me instead.
