<blockquote><p>Washington (BWN) &#8212; Walking on water and changing water into wine just &#8220;isn&#8217;t enough&#8221;, the U.S.&#8217;s largest leper organization claimed. &#8220;Look, it&#8217;s been, like, days since He descended into Washington and we want our miracle,&#8221; NAALP spokesman Tzaraath Hansen said at a recent press conference called to raise consciousness about a large constituency waiting for a cure.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our Obama worship is just as worthy as anybody from Hollywood or MSNBC. Nobody is more prostrate than we are. But we can&#8217;t even get a foot in the door of the Oval Office.&#8221;</p>
<p>President Obama&#8217;s press secretary, Robert Gibbs, called on lepers to be patient. &#8220;Changing the levels of the oceans, raising America&#8217;s reputation from the dead, and keeping Biden&#8217;s foot out of his mouth are time-consuming miracles. President Obama will get to the lepers in their turn. Now is no time to go to pieces.&#8221;</p>
<p>All of this fell on deaf ears at the protest outside the White House gates where lepers carried signs such as &#8220;I Voted for Change and Got the Finger&#8221;, &#8220;I&#8217;m Not Shuffling Off Without A Cure&#8221; and &#8220;Barry: You Want a Piece of Me?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, <em>I</em> thought that walking across the reflection pool to the inauguration stand was a <a href="https://buttle.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/obama-rolled/" target="_blank">nice touch</a>.</p>
