That 2008 Nostalgia

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Obama actually deified.

No, I mean actually deified, this time in the left-leaning Danish site Politiken.dk:

He is provocative in insisting on an outstretched hand, where others only see animosity.

His tangible results in the short time that he has been active – are few and far between. His greatest results have been created with words and speeches – words that remain in the consciousness of their audience and have long-term effects.

He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions.

And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just been celebrated – – but rather the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama.

I had to double check to see if the angry Moslems had killed noodle-, brained lefty commentator in Denmark after the “Mohammed Cartoons” controversy, and they’d hired Grace Kelly as a ringer:

For some time now, comparisons between the two have been a tool of cynical opinion that quickly became fatigued of the rapture that Obama instilled prior to and after the presidential election last year.

From the start, Obama’s critics have claimed that his supporters have idolised him as a saviour, thus attempting to dismantle the concrete hope that Obama has represented for most Americans.

Actually, my Danish friend, it’s the lefties and their bobbleheaded deification that created the cynical opinion; it’s Obama’s incompetence that have dismantled the “concrete hope”.

The idea was naturally that the comparison between Jesus and Obama – which is something that the critics developed themselves – would be comical, blasphemous, or both.

If such a comparison were to be made, it would, of course, inevitably be to Obama’s advantage.

That’s right.  Obama’s better than Christ.

Read the whole thing. 

I’m tempted not to go riot in the streets and demand the author’s death.

  1. Well really, and why not?

    How many jobs did Jesus save or create – like, twelve? How many books did Jesus himself write without any ghostwriters to help? How many Peace Prizes did he win? Time covers did he grace? Surfboards did he ride?

    By any rational Progressive standard, Obama wins in a walk.

    .

  2. And the scale definitely favors Obama.

    Jesus healed scattered people who were blind, crippled, or lepers.

    Obama healed the entire American health care system.

    Jesus calmed the waters on the puny Sea of Galilee (really more of a lake).

    Obama’s going to stop rise of the oceans worldwide.

    And all Jesus can promise us is some vague notion of paradise in his kingdom in heaven.

    Obama’s going to deliver salvation now and create a paradise right here on earth.

    Advantage Obama.

  3. C-t-E….recall the speach in St Paul. “This is the moment in time when the oceans begin to receed…….”

  4. remember how the left is sick of us referring to him as “The One” or Obamamessiah? They forget that their side was the first to do it.

  5. I guess Chesterton was onto something with the remark that when people stop believing in god, they don’t believe in nothing; they believe in anything.
