The BIG Endorsement

My sources indicate that God was a bit upset over the attention paid recently to Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama. In response, the Lord allegedly summoned the major candidates to a meeting, presumably to help Him determine who He will endorse.

According to eye witness accounts, each candidate stood before the great I Am and was asked a simple question: "What do you believe."

God first spoke to John McCain. "John," He said, "What do you believe?"

Sen. McCain responded decisively, "I believe in God, Country, Honor, and Sacrifice."

"Not bad," said God, "Have a seat here on my right side."

Next He turned to Senator Obama. "Barack, what do you believe?"

"I believe that the love of God for all people is universal, and that the hope and promise of the American Dream must likewise be universal, said Obama."

"Not too shabby," replied the Lord, "Sit here on my left."

Next God turned to Mike Huckabee. "Mike, how would you answer the question?"

"Well, I'd answer it the same way I answered it when I addressed the Communion of Saints at our annual meeting the other day. I believe that wide and easy is the path that leads to the IRS, and narrow and hard is the path that leads to rewriting the Constitution to be the Word of God."

"OK," said God, "I believe there is another seat down there to the right a ways. Please sit."

God turned next to Mitt Romney, who had been hanging to the back of the pack: "And you sir, what do you believe?"

To this Mitt smiled and replied, "I don't understand the question."

Caught of guard, God quickly refocused on Mrs. Clinton. "Hillary, what is it that you believe?"

Mrs. Clinton responded quickly and cooly, "I believe you are sitting in MY seat!"

At press time it was unclear which if any candidate God had chosen to endorse.
