Without a Pastor of His Own, Obama Turns to Five–New York Times headline, March 15, 2009
It’s the IDES of MARCH,
and you’d have thought President Obama would have
hung back from the need for any pastor
after his roller coaster ride with
Good Time Jerry Wright.
Now, Obama goes for the Quinella
of having five times the chance of embarrassment.
He has allowed hubris to leave the mistaken impression
that the press will not take a look at
past sermons, possible indiscretions and money matters
of the Gang of Five.

The Chicago Cubs tried this in 1961 & 1962 when they played the seasons under the watchful eyes of 5–COUNT’ EM–5 managerial coaches–Verdie Himsl, Harry Craft, El Tappe, Lou Klein and Chrlie Metro. That experiment resulted in a 64–90 won/lost record and a seventh place finish (out of eight teams) in 1961 and a 59–103 record and ninth place finish (out of ten teams) 1n 1962 (The College of Coaches experiment of owner P.K. Wrigley originally called for 8 managers.)
Mr. President. you’ve brought this need for religious surveillance on yourself and you’ll soon find that the media will stop discussing your wife’s arms and will start digging into your pastoral entanglements.
Here’s the line-up, folks.
