The B.I.B.L.E., Yes That's the Book for Obama

Democrats regularly campaign in churches - something no Republican could ever get away with without having FEC complaints filed against them. Today Barack Obama, that former muslim school student, made an appearance at a Baptist church in New Orleans:

(CNN) — Speaking to Sunday church congregants in New Orleans, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama invoked Jesus' Sermon on the Mount days before the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

"Getting ready to talk to you today, I recall what Jesus said at the end of the Sermon on the Mount," Obama said at New Orleans' First Emmanuel Baptist Church. "He said, whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on a rock."

"The rains descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. But it did not fall, because it was founded on the rock," he continued.

That rock, he said, was a principal of botherhood exemplified by the church during Hurricane Katrina — but not the federal government.

"Something was wrong in America. Our foundation wasn't built on the rock," he said.

It's not America that should have been built on the rock, but New Orleans. Obama didn't mention the next two verses in his biblical excerpt (from Matthew 7):

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

In today's modern HolyCoast translation that might read that the foolish man builds his house 16' below sea level surrounded by rivers and lakes, and is then greatly astonished when a hurricane floods the city. There's not enough government in the world to fix dumb.
