Obama is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He will taketh from the productive, and spread the wealth around. Yea, He will spendeth record sums of money, but cutteth 95 percent of our taxes at the same time; verily, the loaves and fishes will seem beside this as childish play.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, with "free" health care; He leadeth me into the long waiting lines for medical care.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me away from the Founding Fathers into the path of righteousness and collectivism; he endeth the American experiment with self-reliance; now Big Brother shall fulfill my every want.

Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I will fear no evil, for Obama is with me; with the power of His eloquence, He shall make all war disappear with a speech.

He prepareth a table for me in the presence of Al-Qaeda; they will love him as I do, as our cups runneth over with government benefits. With his rod and his staff He shall smite the conservatives, and rid their dissenting voices from radio and Internet, to "bring us all together" in dissent-free worship of The One.

Surely government benefits and hand-outs will follow me all of the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of Obama, forever.
