The Best Line of the Day

Actually, I don't know where this line originated. I just became aware of it while I was reading an entry in the Powerline blog titled, "The Difference Between Obama and Jesus." But Powerline acknowledged picking up the line from Instapundit.com.

Well, given all the suggestions that Barack Obama is "The Messiah" — as well as his problems with his Cabinet appointees, the latest of which is the withdrawal of H. Rodgin Cohen from consideration for Deputy Treasury Secretary — the line is too good not to share with my readers.

It reminds me of my days on newspaper copy desks, when turning a clever phrase into an eye-catching headline seldom meant much in the way of recognition except from my colleagues (although earning their admiration that way always had a certain amount of value for me).

Anyway, I'll keep you in suspense no longer. As Powerline put it, the difference between Obama and Jesus is/was ... "Jesus knew how to build a cabinet."

A tip of the hat to whoever came up with that one.

That is a very funny line! I wish I thought of it.
