Barack Obama’s open mockery of the Sign of the Cross
Canada Free Press ^ | 11-22-12 | Judi McLeod

Posted on 11/22/2012 6:32:26 PM PST by afraidfortherepublic

‘Father Barack Obama‘ mocked the Sign of the Cross at the White House yesterday.

It was an open mockery of the Christian prayer that is accompanied by the immortal words used by peasants and kings over the centuries: “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”.

Obama, who is left-handed, made the sign of the cross with his left hand, which out of respect for the centuries-long Christian practice, no one ever does.

Obama’s left-handed sign of the cross was made over a gobbling turkey during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation Ceremony, that takes place at the White House every year shortly before Thanksgiving, having been resurrected by George H.W. Bush in 1989.

Obama departed from the usual “presidential pardon” granting the turkey a “special dispensation” in words as he twice made his left-handed Sign of the Cross.

There were lots of giggles from the two Obama daughters and lots of gobbling from the turkey recorded during the ceremony now on YouTube.

Clearly using his left hand for all to see, Obama made the Sign of the Cross backwards.

To a Muslim, anything done with the left hand is an insult.
Obama was up to his same old snarky tricks as when he goes into his studious expression and gives everyone the “Bird” with his middle finger.

Total low rent.

I’m a left handed Catholic and I am not particularly insulted. There are a lot more reasons to be p*ssed off at him than that. But then I think people made way too much of the stupid gag at the tomb of the unknown. For crying out loud, lighten up. What he did was stupid. He should apologize. He won’t. End of story.

“Total low rent.”

But “he won”, you know. He got re-elected - purely “on principle”.

There is a more disturbing trend. He manifests a trend of arrogant illegitimate behavior such that he isn’t held accountable for his actions and he seems to enjoy it. The high he gains from these little insults won’t last at the same innocuous level, but he will further degenerate into seeking more heinous activity in order to satiate his same lust for arrogant criminality.

I feel bad for the two daughters being stuck with such dipwads for parents.

Muslims believe that the left hand should only be used for “unclean acts.”

Obama making the Sign of the Cross using his left hand...

Not saying anything specific, but it’s interesting...

Concealed Messages—The Importance of Hand Signs to the Illuminati
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads...
— Revelation 13:16

On the Other Hand...

There is a great symbolic difference between the use of the left and right hands. The right hand is said to be the hand of blessing, a good and positive influence, and those who use it in the occult world are known as those on the “right-handed path.” This is considered “white magic.”

Those on the left-handed path, however, are practitioners of “black magic.” Full-fledged Satanists are typically of the left-handed path, though, in reality, it does not matter to the devil which hand is used!

The left hand is ever considered the sinister hand. It is associated with words like diabolical, witchlike, clever, deceptive, sly, cunning, evil, wrong, backward, and perverse. The evil eye is said to be the left eye. Some early Christians (for example, the writer of the apocryphic Gospel of Nicodemus) taught that of the two thieves crucified next to Jesus, the one at his left side rejected truth and was consigned to hell.

Sorry, but everything ObamaHUSSEIN does is heavily scripted!
Nothing is done that hasn’t been cleared by his Superiors!
The Chinese use their left hand to wipe their asses as well as many other cultures! Obama knows exactly how perverted and insulting he was to Christians when he used the left handed reverse cross! Everyone of his Muslim Brotherhood Associates Loved watching Obama trash Christians yesterday as he does every day! How will he react if someone happens to burn his Quran?

If that is the case, Obunghole’s idea of funny is scummy. Like pretty much everything else the um-American a-hole does.

No wonder they had the Euthanize the poor Bird.

The bird that was euthanized was from a previous year.

Obama’s culture wipe their poop with a bare left hand as in China and then wash the hand whenever they get a chance! So they always use their right hand for signs of respect and eating!
Obama is disgusting and Treasonous!

I believe we will be seeing much more of this sort of F.U. sort of mockery as he does not need to be reelected.

Well stated. It is what I expect. I think he has a need to mock his opponents, to show his power over them by making these gestures. I suspect that underneath it all he is very angry for how he was treated as a child.

I am not a psychologist, this is simply my personal opinion.
