Has anyone else seen this Obama email?
I don't normally take these emails seriously, but this came from a high trusted source!

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya, Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas, and Cthulhu, devourer of souls.

Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. However, Lolo was quickly eaten by Cthulhu. His mother then married Zozosmom, a TELEMARKETER. But Zozosmom was quickly eaten by Cthulhu also.

When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school, with some time off for good behavior.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, “He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.” He takes similar care to conceal the fact that he can hold his breath for a full half hour. When asked about this ability, he consistently denies it with an odd grin.

Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical.

Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father (the MUSLIM one, not the Elder One), and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son’s education. He did, however, exert some control over Pete Rose’s gambling practices.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. The two dated for several months before breaking up due to conflicts with paparazzi. Obama then enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the MUSLIM TERRORISTS who are now waging JIHAD against the western world. Wasabi is sometimes known as “Japanese Horseradish.” Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his MUSLIM background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the KORAN, with a side of WASABI.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and bends over in a sort of farting pose. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?…… NOT ME!!!

2. After this email, I'm going to vote for Cthulhu
That seems to be the best option national security wise, because apparently, it will eat all the terrorists.

On the other hand, I'm not particularly fond of his soul-eating proclivities.

3. What the email left out
Obama can melt butter with his MIND!
:scared:
Obama has a bionic hand which allows him to always roll a "twelve" with dice. For this reason, he is BANNED from the craps tables in Las Vegas.
:scared::scared:
Obama has a book coming out in July titled To Serve Man. What his campaign won't tell you is IT'S A COOKBOOK!

If Osama agrees to decide his jihad against America using a game of craps, we'll kick his ass!

But first, make sure you put on a suit covered in a THICK layer of asbestos!

And yes, I've seen this email. We've ALL seen this email. It's utter right-wing tripe, and very easily debunkable.

After my confederate flag thread, I don't know if I have the testicular fortitude to post it in GDP. I'm worried that one or two people will laugh, and about fifty will add me to their ignore list.

16. It's tempting to do it, just to see if anyone actually reads it.
I suspect there would be a mass rush of knee-jerking with lots of people saying, "Oh, it's that email."

21. The knee-jerking is justified
My response was "oh, not this again", before I noticed the Cthulhu reference. The bottom-feeding fringe of Hillary's camp has been posting the actual email over and over, so a lot of nerves are frayed at the moment.

24. Two weeks ago, a woman who was the co-high priestess of an open pagan circle I used to belong to
sent it around to her entire address book with a "You must read this immediately" heading. Virtually everyone on her address book told her never to send something like that to them again without checking Snopes first. One of the spamees, whom I'll call "Sam", mentioned that 40 years ago, a similar message could have been sent out about JFK by right-wing Protestants because he was Roman Catholic. We all nodded and got on with life, except that one of the idiots she sent the original message to, whom I'll call "Al", didn't understand the concept of analogy, thought that Sam was saying that he, Al, wasn't a good US citizen because he was Roman Catholic and got all upset. Al, if he is not already a proud member of the 101st Chairborne "Fighting Keyboardists", based on the incoherency, bad spelling and general stupidity of his e-mails, should be. It was painful. Eventually, the son of the woman who sent the e-mail stepped in and asked us to stop discussing it. There is a reason I don't go to that open circle any more.

28. One of my MySpace friends sent me that last week.
The version I got was even more disgusting. It claimed that all the smears in that email were confirmed by Snopes. I replied by politely telling my friend the entire email was bullshit and included a link to the real Snopes article. I'm hoping he just forwarded it to me not knowing what he was doing. He's a friend of mine from high school, and I'd hate to have to delete him.

Or his dad's involvement with Pete Rose's gambling?

44. Well, I got one that said his father wasn't really Kenyan at all...
he was Nigerian. And he had millions of dollars in a bank somewhere, but because of arcane immigration laws or something he couldn't get it out himself, and so he needed MY help and he would give me a generous cut.

That's why I'm supporting him. Because I believe everything I read in all the emails I get.

It's all true. I just bought a bunch of pills online and now I have a HUGE penis (and I'm female!).
