GOP Leader Prays for Obama's Death?

The Republican Speaker of the House in Kansas, Mike O'Neal, sent a message to fellow Republicans which appeared to be asking them to pray for the death of President Obama.  He later apologized, saying that his message was “only intended as election commentary regarding the president's days in office”.  This followed an earlier controversy, and apology, over his having called Mrs. Obama “Mrs. YoMama”.  Why is this guy still holding public office??

I sent a little memo out

To friends within the GOP.

It was a little prayer I thought

They’d really like to see.

It’s a Psalm that’s from the Bible

And so I thought it safe.

But people can be really sensitive -

My message made them chafe.

It said about the President

“Let his days be few

And let another take his office”.

But now I'm really in a stew

Because I didn’t read the rest

Of what the psalm went on to say:

“Let his children be fatherless

And his wife a widow”.  Hey,

My prayer was ‘bout the next election -

I only asked my friends to pray

For his electoral rejection.

I never really meant to wish

That President Obama die.

My prayer’s been awfully misconstrued

And no one's sorrier than I.

So please accept my deep regret

And this apology of mine

But don’t expect me to do more -

So no, I won’t resign. 

Oh, and one more thing –

I must declare to Ms. Obama

How really, really sorry I am

For calling her “Ms. YoMama”
