He should dictate the Ten Obama-ments

1: "Ye shall have no other candidates before me"

2: "Ye shall not make for yourself an idol, unless that idol is of me"

3: "Ye shall not misuse the name of Barack Hussein Obama"

4: "Remember the sabbath by keeping it holy, the sabbath being April 15th"

5: "Honor your Barack and your Michelle always"

6: "Ye shall not kill, unless you are killing a police officer in the line of duty. Then ye shall be the wife of my close friend and political ally Bill Ayers."

7: "Ye shall not commit adultery, unless ye are a former president and are scheduled to endorse me at the Democratic Convention."

8: "Ye shall not steal, unless ye are stealing quotes for your speeches. Then ye shall be my vice presidential nominee."

9: "Ye shall not bear false witness, unless ye are trying to cover up shamefully inappropriate political affiliations with people like Rezko, Ayers, and Rev Wright."

10: "Ye shall not covet, unless what ye covet is the absolute destruction of the United States of America as ye know it."

These are the Obama-ments as I have given them to you. Worship me appropriately in front of my greek temple. I am the chosen one.

**I'm Brian of Michigan and I approve this message.

The 2009 off-year elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York's 23d Congressional District offer a small snapshot of the current views and motivations of the American electorate. While there may be a desire to extrapolate the events of Nov. 3, 2009 into a prediction of what will happen on Nov. 2, 2010, that is impossible.
