"obama is my Jesus"

[Gerald Creasy]

Maggie Mertens, the associate editor of the Smith College student newspaper, the Sophian:

Obama is my homeboy. And I'm not saying that because he's black - I'm saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters t-shirts from a couple years ago that said, "Jesus is my homeboy." Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus.

While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I'm afraid it's true anyway.

Antichrist Obama

[Dr. Ron]

Boy, some people are so hungry for attention that they actually place themselves in a position of blasphemy for OZero.

I am so sick of this guy.....it is beyond stupid......it borders on insanity....or maybe it crosses those borders.

[Gerald Creasy]

But...but...if you dont fall in line You're a racist!!

[Dr. Ron]

How far will this thing go?

[Gerald Creasy]

read how Matt Lauer and Obama discuss the expectations of being "The Messiah."

While I do not think Obama is the super bad beastie that goes bump in the endtimes, I am fully convinced he is AN antichrist.

You have to understand this in context of Black Theology. This is right in line with what Obama's Pastor and Mentor... Rev Wright teaches. Why these links are not connected every time by the media and the Republican Camp are beyond me. Obama sat under this crazy guy for 20 years.


Black Theology's Christ View
Jesus is seen as a non-white, social liberator who focused on the emancipation of the poor and of the marginalized, and many parallel are made with the emancipation efforts of black people in the United States. Christ's message is interpreted as encouraging "black power" (Henry). His intrinsic nature and spiritual activity receive little or no attention. Some even deny his role as the atoning sacrifice for the world's sins and provider of eternal life (Shrine).

I almost think the whole Obama-as-Jesus thing is a bad running joke by those who are willing to just disrespect the symbolism of Christian faith by glibly plugging in their guy to those symbols. When I saw that votive, I thought, "This can't be serious. Those things are bad enough with Jesus on them."
