WASHINGTON, DC - Sources close to the White House have learned that
Barack Obama is planning to run for the office of Pope when the
College of Cardinals convenes to elect a successor to ailing Benedict XVI at the end of this month.
Calling on the promise of Equality for All, Obama is said to firmly
believe that the time has come for a non-Catholic to occupy the Vatican's highest office.
Foreseeing a looming citizenship issue, he states that he has discovered
an Italian birth certificate that proves he was born in Rome before he was born in Kenya.
"That Hawaiian birth certificate never has been worth what I paid for it anyway," he noted.
Continuing, he concluded, "And there's no way that a handful of cardinals
could be more expensive to buy than 10 million voters in Michigan."
Further questions should be directed to Obama's Papal Campaign Manager,
Abdul Azeem Khan.
