When Obama died, George Washington met him at the Pearly Gates. He 
slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the
 nation I helped conceive!
<br />
<br />
<br />Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted,"You 
wanted to end our liberties but you failed."
<br />
<br />
<br />James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is 
why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!"
<br />
<br />
<br />Thomas Jefferson was next, beat Obama with a long cane, and snarled,
 "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of 
Independence .."
<br />
<br />
<br />The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe 
and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the radical, 
socialist, leader.
<br />
<br />
<br />As Obama lay bleeding and in pain, an Angel appeared. Obama wept and
 said, "This is not what you promised me."
<br />
<br /> 
<br />The Angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 VIRGINIANS waiting 
for you in Heaven. What did you think I said? You really need to 
listen when someone is trying to tell you something!"<xhtml:img xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Letschatnjcom/~4/G8PZLvgYaEw" height="1" width="1" /></div></content>
