Moses Obama: A Modern Bible
Story

One year after Moses had led the
Israelites out of Egypt, discontent began to register among his followers. They complained that life had not
improved since they escaped from the Pharaoh and that Moses had failed to bring
about any changes. There were no
signs of the ¡§Promised Land¡¨ that Moses talked about, the land of freedom, the
new Eden that was flowing with milk and honey. Soon, tempers started to flare¡K
¡§Hey, Moses! You said life will
be better once we get out of Egypt, you said we will all be free men. Well, I¡¦m sick and tired of moving from
place to place and not having a roof upon my head. I¡¦m sick and tired of hearing you say that things will
get better and that we need to be patient. You¡¦re a liar and I¡¦m sorry that I listened to you!¡¨
¡§If this is freedom, I¡¦d rather
be a slave! At least we were
working!¡¨
¡§You pulled some neat tricks,
Moses, turning the river into blood, bringing on the plaques and parting the
Red Sea and all that. Thanks to
you, the Pharaoh let us go¡K and we are now HOMELESS! So, why don¡¦t you perform another miracle and show us the
Promised Land, huh? Mister David
Copperfield!¡¨
¡§Where¡¦s your god now, Mister
Prophet!¡¨
¡§And how about the universal
health plan you promised, huh?¡¨
¡§All this talk about freedom is a
crock of shit! I never believed
you in the first place, I really don¡¦t!
I tagged along only because I wanted to throw my shoe at your face when
your lies are exposed, you sorry scoundrel!¡¨
¡§We should have listened to Brother
John (McCain) and Sister Sarah (Palin).
They had warned us about you, you pathological liar!¡¨
(I could have continued with this
story, but have decided that the readers should look it up themselves. After all, it is all recorded in the
Bible. It suffices to say that the
Israelites had demonstrated a total lack in faith and God was greatly
disappointed in them. They were
condemned to forty years of wandering in the wilderness when the original plan
was for Moses to lead them to the Promised Land within four years, by the end
of his first term. Poor bastards!)
