Borowitz Report - Pressure on Obama to Quickly Resolve Centuries-Old Sunni-Shiite Conflict

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Congressional leaders left the White House on Wednesday “deeply frustrated” that President Obama had not found a swift resolution to the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites that began in the seventh century A.D.

After meeting for more than an hour with the President in the Oval Office, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed disappointment that Mr. Obama “came up empty” when asked for a plan to heal the rift between the two religious groups, which began in the year 632.


“All we ask of this President is that he do one thing: settle a religious conflict that has been going on for a millennium and a half,” McConnell said. “What did he offer today? Nothing.”

Speaker of the House John Boehner acknowledged that there was a possibility that Obama might find a way to resolve the centuries-old Sunni-Shiite conflict, but the Ohio Republican was not optimistic.

“This struggle between Sunnis and Shiites has been going on for almost fifteen hundred years,” he said. “That means President Obama has had ample time to fix it.”

Now, break out the hip waders:

Obama being a clone of Pharaoh Tutankhaten who ruled ancient Egypt from 1332 to 1323 BC, he had plenty of time to take care of this! As the living image of Aten:


Aten (also Aton, Egyptian jtn) is the disk of the sun in ancient Egyptian mythology, and originally an aspect of Ra. The deified Aten is the focus of the monolatristic, henotheistic, or monotheistic religion of Atenism established by Amenhotep IV, who later took the name Akhenaten in worship and recognition of Aten. In his poem "Great Hymn to the Aten", Akhenaten praises Aten as the creator, and giver of life. The worship of Aten was eradicated by Horemheb.


Just look at the EARS, you silly sheeple! What do you think all those sun symbols used by the Obama campaign in 2008 really meant?

It was about the SUN! This ancient Egyptian ruler must have seen this coming. What did he do?



Nothing! Too busy loving all that bankster gold!

I can't tell you how many times I have read this occult stuff since 2008, as Patriots© tie that into prophecy by their invoking of a quote by Thomas Jefferson:

There is scarcely a king (or would-be-king) in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh - get first all the people’s money, then all their lands, and then make them and all their children slaves forever.


~ Thomas Jefferson

And if all that has made you chuckle this morning, my work is done here.

How can we resolve the conflict in Iraq between two factions when we can't solve the war between two factions in the "United States of America"!!!
