It’s been a while since we’ve seen Obama actually deified.<\/p>\n

No, I mean actually deified<\/a>, this time in the left-leaning Danish site Politiken.dk<\/em>:<\/p>\n

He is provocative in insisting on an outstretched hand, where others only see animosity.<\/p>\n

His tangible results in the short time that he has been active \u2013 are few and far between. His greatest results have been created with words and speeches \u2013 words that remain in the consciousness of their audience and have long-term effects.<\/p>\n

He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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 <\/a>as a ringer:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

From the start, Obama\u2019s 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

The idea was naturally that the comparison between Jesus and Obama \u2013 which is something that the critics developed themselves \u2013 would be comical, blasphemous, or both.<\/p>\n

If such a comparison were to be made, it would, of course, inevitably be to Obama\u2019s advantage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s right.\u00a0 Obama’s better than Christ.<\/p>\n

Read the whole thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’m tempted not to go riot in the streets and demand the author’s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
