Barack Obama's Faith Based Ass Kissing Program
Looks like Barack Obama is attempting to capture some of the voting block that propelled George W. Bush into the White House eight years ago…
Reaching out to evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans that would expand President Bush's program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a move sure to cause controversy — support their ability to hire and fire based on faith.
This is bullshit! Why is Obama pandering to these people? I don't want my tax money going to groups that center their belief systems around magical thinking and fictional superheros who live in the sky! This is exactly the kind of nonsense that has made the past seven years so unbearable. I just think think that–
Excuse me. I'm being called into my boss' office. I'll finish this post in a minute…
I'm back. Where was I? Oh yeah, I was discussing Barack Obama's wonderful idea of reaching out to the good people of the religiously upright moral community. Good for you, Mr. Obama!
And may all of our God fearing readers and their heterosexual friends be forever washed in the blood of the Lamb.
Amen.
Update: From the Huffington Post…
An Obama campaign official told the Huffington Post that the AP's claims about Obama allowing hiring or firing based on faith are false. From a portion of Obama's speech today:
"Now, make no mistake, as someone who used to teach constitutional law, I believe deeply in the separation of church and state, but I don't believe this partnership will endanger that idea — so long as we follow a few basic principles. First, if you get a federal grant, you can't use that grant money to proselytize to the people you help and you can't discriminate against them — or against the people you hire — on the basis of their religion. Second, federal dollars that go directly to churches, temples, and mosques can only be used on secular programs. And we'll also ensure that taxpayer dollars only go to those programs that actually work."
Does this mean that I can go back to worshipping Superman? (Well… Super-Horse, actually. It's just how I was raised.)

Perhaps the "Change we can believe in" needs to be applied to that "smell" that's rising as we move from a progressive primary candidate to a "centrist" general candidate.
Oh, I sure can …believe it.
Cubby- there is so much that I can agree upon that you wrote about. That last bit which allows you to conform to the ways of the Media and allow you to keep your job was most inspiring.
Speaking of smell, is it true that John McCain wears those depend-type undergarment diapers? Whenever I google, I keep getting the viagra stuff but nothing to verify this. I just heard it from an old class-mate who now works as an aide in DC. If it's true, I wonder who else does. If anyone can help out would appreciate it.
