Like any good Messiah, Obama has the power to change lives. His list of beneficiaries has grown in recent weeks. Through his judgment and decision-making skills, Obama has blessed the lives of many of his compatriots.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright received the gift of early retirement and is now secluded in his million-dollar Chicago home complete with an elevator, an exercise room, and a master bedroom with a whirlpool. Some reports indicate that he is even raising chickens.
Father Pflagler, too, took early retirement, separating from the Catholic Church (something he considered a white man’s world). He can now return to his work of helping prostitutes without raising as many eyebrows. Pflagler has also had a few stand-up comedy stints where the draw is his Hillary Clinton impression.
Bill Ayers who was “lost” and forgotten for a number of years has now been found. It’s so good to know where he lives and works. It’s even more fascinating that Obama lives in the same “hood.”
Oprah was able to get rid of some of those pesky Republican viewers when she wholeheartedly endorsed Barrack Obama and seems to have even overcome the minor setback of losing a pair of eyelashes.
The gifts bestowed by this man make my heart race.
Thanks to Obama, James A. Johnson (Obama's chief vetter and financial adviser) now has name recognition. Who would have ever known that he had ties to Countryside and Fannie Mae. If he ever decides to run for office, he will not have to be an unknown like ... let's say...Sarah Palin.
Christopher Dodd got to be vetted without having any success on the campaign trail, and we all have the comfort of knowing he received a sweetheart deal on his home mortgage.
Chris Matthews can now devote more time to finding a cure for that strange sensation running up and down his leg. I also heard he has organized a local softball league.
Keith Olberman can now take out his fury on important issues like Wal-Mart customers who leave their shopping carts all over the parking lot instead of putting them in the corral.
Joe Biden has moved from a mere United States senator to being a faith healer.
Obama’s life changing works are so numerous; I don’t suppose there are enough blogs on the web to detail them all.
