Maybe god is playing tricks.

I don’t know what to think of Obama’s daring. His decision to allow Navy Seals to go in and kill Osama. My first thought, I guess, was the similarity in names. Obama and Osama. Hadn’t really consciously noticed that before. Something like Jim and Tim. Thing is, if I were writing a poem about the whole deal, I’d have a ready-made rhyme. I expect Republicans to mull over the similarity of names. And make something negative of it. Osama and Obama. Obama and Osama. After all, some Republicans politically exploited Obama’s middle name. Hussein. So many coincidences in history. Makes one wonder. Maybe god is playing tricks with us. Just to see if we are awake. Enough to notice the rhyming little details. –Jim Broede
