Messiah Offers Dying Bigot Last Chance At Redemption

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (Reuters) – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will leave the campaign trail to go to Hawaii this week to visit the ailing grandmother who helped raise him, an aide said on Monday.

“Senator Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has always been one of the most important people in his life,” Gibbs said in a statement. “Along with his mother and his grandfather, she raised him in Hawaii from the time he was born until the moment he left for college. As he said at the Democratic Convention, she poured everything she had into him.
She poured her everything into him and he didn’t throw her under the bus, he threw her in front of it.
Obama often makes references to his grandmother on the campaign trail, mentioning that she worked on a B-1 bomber assembly plant during World War Two. Later, she worked as a secretary in a bank and was eventually promoted to vice president. She helped put Obama through private school in Hawaii.
And yet she was incredibly generous – for a bigot. She broke through the glass ceiling in the 60s and 70s and he rewarded her love of glass by tossing her into the bus window. She “made him cringe” while he claimed Jeremiah Wright as being equally important in His life. He could no more disown her than his racist preacher.
Fret not my child, ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins when he shows up looking for his birthday card and that perfect pose of personal reflection that will win over the AARP vote. Although you have been warned to manage your expectations accordingly.
At least we don’t have to worry about Him pissing on her grave. We’ve seen His cleansing stream spray her down enough while she was alive to last an eternity.

While I think The One’s down there for legitimate reasons, I almost spit out my Diet Coke reading the title of this post, I was already laughing so hard.

Are you ready for the onslaught of the freaked-out libtards?

I’m just wondering what part they would disagree with – the doubting of his sincerity or the standing up for her.
Because the characterization of his treatment of her is spot on.

When I saw this story, I thought to myself, “why would he want to go visit a typical white person?”
Considering the way he feels about the rest of us typical white people, it is strange. Then again, she is HIS typical white person.

Um. Where did you get that B-1 Bomber during WWII? If Barack Obama actually said that, then he needs some education on the American Military. The B-1 was developed AFTER WWII.

The NYT Caucus accidentally let it on their sidebar in the wee morning hours but had it bounced after ~150 people came.
*Pfew* For a second there, somebody might have been reminded of how he treated her during this campaign. Can’t have that!
Just a concerned grandson. Awwww…..
