In a recent Ann Coulter article in Townhall titled “Genius, Thy Name is Obama” she begins by commenting on Time magazine’s comparison of Obama to Jesus.When I read that it was like dangling a porkchop in front of a hungry dog. In the hope that you find this more entertaining than irreverent, I couldn’t resist commenting on the Obama - Jesus comparison:
I would like it very much if the starry-eyed liberal media would spare me the comparisons between Obama and Jesus. They maketh me to blaspheme.
Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God and the spiritual leader of Christianity which He founded 2000 years ago. Obama of south Chicago is the son of a divorced drunk and is a politician who is not yet in office and hasn't done much except gather questionable associates and get elected.
Jesus' Mother was reportedly a virgin at the time of His birth. There is no report that Obama's mother, presumably a nice lady, was a virgin at the time of his birth.
Jesus died for me. Obama has done nothing for me to date.
This is not to disrespect Obama or his parents, please understand, but let's skip the deity crap.
The argument that Obama is like Jesus may gain some credibility if Obama walks across the top of the water in the Reflecting Pool in the summertime without getting his feet wet, or if he can start out with a basket full of fish and feed the nation.
More realistically, perhaps he can start out with a Cabinet full of bullheads and suckers and do something positive for the nation. Here's hoping, anyhow.
