A Parochial Presidency

A fable: Father Damian railed against the drunkenness, fornication, gambling, and general carousing in Father Kelly's parish after Father Kelly had been called away to Rome. Father Damian even complained that the publican in Kelly's parish even had jazz music on the Victrola, although no member of the flock had ever told Father Damian that. Father Damian was soon too called away to Rome. President Obama has dispatched his Attorney General Eric Holder and his Secretary of Education Arne Duncan urgently to his hometown of Chicago (incidentally a disarmed city where legal possession of a firearm by non-law enforcement is virtually impossible) to combat that city's growing murder crisis. Chicago is no more bloody than Philadelphia but that city is not Obama's home and Pennsylvania's Democrat Governor Ed Rendell even had the temerity to initially support Obama's rival, Hillary Clinton during the primary. Perhaps, Killadelphia, the city of brotherly butchery has a better class of criminal, mostly smart enough not to post their barbarous handiwork on You Tube, but it seems that the Obama administration regards urban slaughter in Illinois as more worthy of their consideration and attention than bloodletting in the Keystone State. The Obama administration does not even bother to tell Pennsylvanians who voted for Obama in equally large numbers as Illinois to take cover- they can just drop dead.
