Two Limericks for Barack Obama and Reverend Jeremiah Wright

There once was a reverend named Wright
Whose sermons were really quite a sight
"You know!" thought Obama
"He's not the Dalai Lama"
And so from his church he took flight

OR

There once was a candidate named Barack
Whose denials seemed like a crock
He said "Not aware was I uh......
"Of the wacky sermons of Jeremiah
"Even though I've said he was my rock. "

    Here's my issue: If we're going to hold reverends accountable for presidential elections, then shouldn't we be eyeing McCain too? McCain's friend, late Rev. Jerry Falwell, who said 9/11 was retribution from God, and Rev. John Hagee who said the Catholic Church "thirsted for the blood of the Jewish people" thoughout its history and that Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans to prevent a gay pride march? Do Obama naysayers hate him for his disrespect for homosexuality and translationof September 11th too? And just an FYI, if you want to find out more about why Rev. Wright may have a point about HIV/AIDS being a manmade disease, check out this six-part YouTube video set: http://www.youtube.com/v/Ml7q6iMwqLY&hl=en
