THOSE BARMY BRITS SURE KNOW HOW TO ADD A WEE BIT OF DRY HUMOUR TO ANYTHING

The London Times’ Gerard Baker has adapted a gospel from the Bible to adequately summarize Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s recent trip through Europe and the Middle East. And the result is incredible:

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness. [...]

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth – for the first time – to bring the light unto all the world. [...]

On the Seventh Day he walked across the Channel of the Angles to the ancient land of the hooligans. There he was welcomed with open arms by the once great prophet Blair and his successor, Gordon the Leper, and his successor, David the Golden One.

And suddenly, with the men appeared the archangel Gabriel and the whole host of the heavenly choir, ranks of cherubim and seraphim, all praising God and singing: “Yes, We Can.”

This is only a snippet of the piece. Read it in its entirety here or watch the above video of Baker reading it on FOX News.

In case you don’t understand dry British wit, allow me to translate: Obama has managed to market himself as the chosen one — a new Messiah. And his supporters are buying every bit of it. His recent world tour exemplifies this. So, in many ways, the Obama campaign is almost like a cult.
