Obama Calendar Touts President as 'Heaven Sent,' Quotes John 3:16
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 09/04/2012 6:28:21 PM PDT by chessplayer

A calendar that compares Barack Obama to Jesus Christ may not get too much media play. It could be an uncomfortable reminder of the time when journalists, such as Evan Thomas, compared the President to "God."

One of the hottest selling items at the Democratic National Convention is a 2013 calendar titled "Keep the Dream" that features 16 flattering photos of the First Family and their dogs. In honor of the President's birth month, a picture of Obama's birth certificate was used for August. The caption read "Heaven Sent" and proceeded to quote John 3:16 underneath, as if he were the actual Messiah.

The adoration of Obama has often strayed into near deification.

In 2008, Chris Matthews experienced a near-religious sensation, famously touting a "thrill" going up his leg after listening to an Obama speech.

An editorial in the Dutch newspaper Politiken declared “Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus”.

Recording artist Sting thought the President was the "divine answer" to all of the world's problems. “In many ways, he’s sent from God, because the world’s a mess,” he said in an interview with the Associated Press at the time.

Now convicted criminal and author James Hickman has designed his second Obama-centric calendar. The predecessor titled "It's Been A Long Time Coming" reportedly sold over one million copies in 2009. The new one seems to be selling well too. Amazon is "temporarily out of stock" of the $15 calendar at the moment.

"The cult of Obama staggers on," wrote Slate's David Weigel comparing the two conventions after seeing the calendar. "Real passion eludes Mitt Romney. He's like the median presidential candidate -- his base will vote for him, but not venerate him."

Venerate him like he is God. That's what the left does. Take a look at the calendar cover.

Anyone who has read the New Testament knows this is a no-no on several levels. Besides, even as fake messiahs go, he is pretty piss-poor. I’ve never heard of anyone that I would consider messiah material, least of all this bum.

Which version of Obama’s BIRTH CERTIFICATE did they use - The online ones, the fudged ones, or the one nobody is allowed to see?

I didn’t know that this Messiah was born of man and woman. I thought his was an Immarxilate birth.

Heaven sent?

Revelation 12:9
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Just got back from vacation and checked the calendar. It's now marked down from $15 to $10. LOL!
