Concerned about the creeping secular humanist bent displayed by the former “President Obama,” Stoos Views ace reporter Hugh Betcha, Head of the World Religious News Desk, called the President for an exclusive interview. As usual, the audience was granted. But something was different about this one. Frisked by members of Obama’s Domestic Security Force for the presence of any religious paraphernalia, Hugh was forced to check his crucifix and IHS tie tack at the front door of the Oval Office before entering.
“It’s ‘Obama The Secular’ now,” the former President declared as the pair sat down to discuss Obama’s recent repudiation of all things religious. “That is how I will be referred to in the future. I am signing an Executive Order to this effect today. Let the word go out from this time and place so that all shall know me by my new title.” Pressed as to why Obama ordered the monogram “IHS,” an ancient symbol for the name “Jesus,” to be boarded over during a recent speech at Georgetown this month, the former President was rather direct. “Simple,” he said, “when I make a major policy speech I do not want the press or the audience distracted by Jesus and God stuff--you know.
