Critics off base with 'Obama Commandment'

By Chuck Goudie | Daily Herald Columnist


On Easter morning, Chicago churches would have been as empty as Christ's tomb if everyone were expected to live by "the Obama Commandment."

Ever since it was revealed that Barack Obama's South Side Chicago pastor said some things that certain white commentators have labeled as racist and seditious, the candidate has been crucified for his association with that church.

According to critics, he was supposed to have followed what is best described as the Obama Commandment: Thou shall not remain in a church pew when nasty ideas are presented, especially when those ideas are being shouted in a very scary voice.

The Obama Commandment (OC) requires that you immediately leave your church and never return when your pastor says or does something outrageous. If you are a public person, then the OC requires an exorcism-like ritual of spiritual cleansing followed by a network TV appearance to explain it all.

Ill get you a script, without it I know its hard to keep track of the characters. Im pretty sure John McCain is Pontious Pilate either way.

7. I thought Obama was Pontius Pilate

McCain was Caesar, and Bill Clinton was John the Baptist. :shrug:

And the Latinos (who vote in lockstep) were the Jews. :shrug:

Or is it the superdelegates who are the Jews? :shrug:

I'm so lost. :cry:
