“I would really like to see President Obama and Senator Reid before I die,”
whispered the priest.
“I’ll see what I can do, Father”, replied the nurse.
The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and
waited for a response.
Soon the word arrived; President Obama and Harry Reid would be delighted to
visit the priest.
As they went to the hospital, Obama commented to Reid, “I don’t know why the
old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images.”
Reid agreed that it was a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest’s room, the priest took Obama’s hand in his
right hand and Reid’s hand in his left hand.. There was silence and a look
of serenity on the old priest’s face.. Finally President Obama spoke.
“Father, of all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to
be with you as you near the end?”
The old priest slowly replied, “I have always tried to pattern my life after
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
“Amen”, said Obama.
“Amen”, said Reid.
The old priest continued, “Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would
like to do the same.”
I had two of my older brothers and a couple friends over Sunday for the usual Sunday meal and bullshat session. I showed them this post. They got a helluva a kick out of it Jeff.
