The Standard New Obama Translation

Even Meet the Press is not immune from lefty wackiness. Look at this question from Tom Brokaw to Rudy Giuliani on Sunday's Meet the Press:

"Senator Obama, who had an Ivy league education and could’ve gone to Wall Street, went back to Chicago, on the South Side," explained Brokaw. "As you know, his supporters have defended him for working with poor families, many of whom lost their jobs when the Gary steel mills closed. In that mocking fashion, it seemed to a lot of people that you were belittling the role of a community organizer, and it led to this button (showing a campaign-style lapel pin) – it was addressed to Senator Palin, because she also talked about it – 'Jesus Christ was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor.' In retrospect, do you think you had too much sport with his role as community organizer, Mr. Mayor?"

Giuliani laughed it off, saying, "No, I think he had too little a record as a community organizer."

Brokaw needs to wear a bracelet that says WWTRD? (What Would Tim Russert Do?)

Since there is such sudden interest in the life's work of Jesus on the part of liberals who are usually screaming about separation of church and state, I thought I would create a special Biblical translation just for them. I'll take some verses from the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible and convert them to the Standard New Obama Translation (SNOT):

John 10:9-10 (KJV): 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John 10:9-10 (SNOT): 9 I am the One: by me if any man enter in, he shall be organized and shall go in and out, and find government assistance.
10 The gang comes not, but to party and sell drugs: I am come that they might be organized, and that they might have government funding more abundantly.

==============

John 3:17 (KJV): For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:17 (SNOT): For God send not the One into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be organized.

=============

Luke 18:25 (KJV): For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Luke 18:25 (SNOT): For it is easier for a conservative to get a job in Hollywood, than for a Republican to enter the kingdom of God.

=============

Acts 16: 30-31 (KJV): 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Acts 16:30-31 (SNOT): 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be organized?
31 And they said, Believe on The One, and you shall be organized, and your hood.

============

Matthew 24:11-13 (KJV): 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew 24 11-13 (SNOT): 11And many Republican shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12And because inequality and racism shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold.
13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be organized.

=============

Acts 27:20 (KJV): And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Acts 27:20 (SNOT): And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and global warming lay on us, all hope that should be organized was then taken away.

Thus sayeth The One. And while we're talking about true believers, the Obama campaign has put out a line of buttons for believers:I wonder if they're planning a "Believers for Abortion", a "Believers for Socialism" or a "Believers for Bloated Government" buttons?
