Ecumenical Question: ‘Obama, Osama, Hmm, Are They Brothers?’

YOU say Obama, they say Osama.

Obama. Osama. Obama. Osama. Let’s blow the whole thing up.

To the Jonesville Church of God, in Jonesville, South Carolina.

Pastor Roger Byrd has placed a sign by his church. Goes the legend: “Obama, Osama, hmm, are they brothers?”

At a guess, we’d say they are most likely twins. No, wait. More likely they are the same person. We had thought Osama, rarely seen in public in the same place as Tony Blair was Robin Cook, but then we saw Obama and changed out minds. We now think Obama is Osama and the real Obama lives in Surrey, if he ever really existed at all.

Says Byrd: “It’s simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ,” he said.

So Barack Obama is a Muslim?

Says Mr Byrd: “I don’t know. See it asks a question: Are they brothers? In other words, is he Muslim? I don’t know. He says he’s not. I hope he’s not. But I don’t know. And it’s just something to try to stir people’s minds. It was never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody.”

No chance of that. Praise be!
