History and The Bible executive producers, husband and wife Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, just addressed the Obama-Satan controversy. “History channel has the highest respect for President Obama,” the network said in a statement. “The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It’s unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. History’s The Bible is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history.”

Their devil is undeniably a photo-shopped Ubama.

They did it on purpose.

Sweet.

The comparison hardly seems controversial to me.

I will agree with that. He is the anti-christ though.

I don’t think that it is fair to Satan to be comparing him to such a contemptible creature...

There was another thread that showed the actor.
If 0bama had a white father... it was him.

My first thought on seeing that photo was it was a creepy photoshop of 0bama, until I found out it wasn’t...

“He is the anti-christ though.”

The only controversy over your statement is whether we exclude the word “the”...

Satan must’ve alleged libel.

If they wanted him to resemble Barry the Sequesterer, they would have dressed him in golf shoes, shorts, a golfing shirt and hat and he would have been carrying a golf club. These allegations are ridiculous.

Satan, like his minions on the left,
can only be successful when operating under cover of deception.

That’s why the left (and their “father”) is so upset.

It must be the fact that Americans simpy think of Hussein as "The Lord of the Flies"

Actually, it is Obama who resembles Satan. Satan here first.

The resemblance is a matter of choice and diligent effort on the part of Obama.

To be fair, the Devil does not look like Obama. The Devil is much older, therefore, it is correct to say that Obama looks like the Devil.

They say that people who have spent a lot of time together start to resemble one another.

I thought they were going for “Obama Meets Emperor Palpatine” but what do I know????

As to the producers’ line about Obama as a “fellow Christian”, I guess now we can understand where the ninja angels in the first episode at Sodom came from and why they wouldn’t be clear why sodomy is named after the town.

He didn’t really resemble Obama. He didn’t have any flies on him.

Liberals hate God so they are trying anything and everything to destroy the credability of the mini-series. “Passion of the Christ” redux.

"Utter nonsense"

And yet the article provides a handy side-by-side photo:

Judging for myself, it doesn't look very nonsensical...
