Another reason to like Obama

His former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, says that Obama “threw me under the bus.” Which leaves me thinking that in his choice of friends and foes, Obama continues to impress. Wright is quoted as saying, “I am radioactive, Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!” I think that from now on, we need to enforce the use of the word “literally” literally. In this case, that will mean literally throwing Jeremiah Wright under the bus. I will grab a shoulder if others will help me.

He is also quoted as saying, “Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!”  This opens a wealth of possibility. I would like Reverend Wright to strongly advocate that we continue to skew the tax code in favor of the top 1%, that we defund schools and roads and bridges, that the U.S. Postal Service discontinue Saturday deliveries, that we include High Fructose Corn Syrup in every food product possible, that every comic book be priced at $3.99 or higher, and that Rush Limbaugh be kept in the U.S. at all costs. I’m now off to work on the rest of my wish list.

    Rev. Wright is yet another reason why God is in such disrepute these days.
