Film Biographer in Awe of Obama
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 9 March 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 03/09/2012 10:09:35 PM PST by John Semmens

Davis Guggenheim's recently completed film biography presents an unstintingly glowing portrayal of President Barack Obama. There is, to quote Guggenheim, “no downside to this man save the enmity of his enemies.”

“Only one other person in the history of the world has led a comparably exemplary life,” Guggenheim asserted. “Jesus healed the sick. Obama gave us healthcare. Jesus fed the multitudes. Obama has put more people on food stamps than any other president. The parallels between the two men's great works are uncanny.”

Guggenheim expressed some anxiety that “like Jesus, Obama may be crucified for his efforts. Every day, right-wing fanatics stir up hatred of the President. Just as Jesus was denied mercy by mobs outside of Pilate's palace, talk radio agitators like Rush Limbaugh urge voters to deny Obama a second term. The very idea that we could be repeating mistakes made 2000 years ago sends shivers up my spine.”

I heard a clip of an interview with this guy (the English host on TV), and it was hard to believe. “Obama’s only fault is that he has no faults”.

Video of Piers interview with this guy. Had the quote off a bit, but the same idea. As you posted a few months ago John - satire is dead with this administration!

Panetta argued that Congressional failure to impeach President Obama for bypassing its supposed authority “established the precedent that the President may deploy our military forces at his sole discretion on his own authority. .."

John, do you ever worry that the Dems read your column as a resource for good (but bad) ideas?

Nice column, as usual.

The similarities between Jesus and obama are uncanny. Jesus is the son of God and obama is a son of a...Kenyan marxist.

Matthew 24:5 “For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and will mislead many.”

Matthew 24:11 “And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many.”

Bottom line, he is a living, breathing example of a biblical Adversary - one who deceives nations and furthers evil. He's done a pretty fair job of that so far.

John, its nearly impossible to decipher your satire from reality.

The Left parodies itself so much, it makes your job hard.
