It's official now. Obama will only serve one term.


Tim Tebow To Lead The Republican Party?!
By Pete Fiutak

Two weeks ago, Rush Limbaugh, the popular talk radio host and conservative icon, was taking a walk outside of his home in West Palm Beach when he struck up a conversation with two people wearing Florida Gators t-shirts. During the brief chat, one of the fans asked Limbaugh who he thought would be the right person to steer the Republican Party in the right direction. Limbaugh, a die-hard football fan who spent a stint as a studio personality for ESPN’s Sunday Countdown, jokingly quipped that he thought Tim Tebow would be the perfect choice.

What started as an off-the-cuff remark has turned into a minor movement that appears to be gaining momentum by the day. One of the people Limbaugh was talking with was Horace White, a key member of the Republican Party of Florida who mulled over the concept of Tebow, a registered Republican, trying to do for the struggling party what he has done for the Gators by being the leader and the figurehead for the party. He'd tour the country, make speeches, and inspire people by simply being Tim Tebow.

RPOF Chairman Jim Greer floated the idea to others in the national offices, and all of a sudden the idea has taken on a behind-the-scenes life of its own.

“It’s not as crazy as it might sound,” said Greer. “Think about it. Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Governor of California? Guess what? He turned out to be a leader of the party and would’ve been a prime candidate for President if he had been born in the U.S.”

“We think Tebow represents the best of what the Republicans can offer,” Greer continued. “He’s a leader, he’s a winner, and he’s a God-fearing young man who has a wisdom and maturity beyond his years.”

Everyone knows I'm an Obama guy and until now I've considered a second term all but a sure thing. I mean who's going to beat him? The Avon Lady from Alaska and the Indian Weasel from Lousiana don't stand a chance. But that's when Jesus, I mean Tim Tebow stepped to the political forefront. I know what you're saying, he's not close to 35. But I guarantee the rules will be changed for Tebow. If you spend 5 minutes with this guy your life will be changed. And while he doesn't project well as an NFL QB he projects just fine as leader of the free world.

But maybe I'm thinking too small. The real truth is that Obama is clearly the antichrist while Tebow is the second coming of Jesus. I better stop worshiping my false prophet (Bo Pelini) and get behind the lamb. Grab me a #15 jersey and a pair of blue Crocs. I'm officially on board!
