Obama to get Hanuman idol

NEW DELHI: With Democrat senator Barack Obama busy in the run-up to the US presidential polls, a group of well-wishers in the capital have decided to send him a symbol of his lucky charm, Lord Hanuman, to help him emerge victorious.

Obama's representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar on Tuesday received a gold-plated two-feet-high idol which she will pass it on to the Obama after it is sanctified.

The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms.

An hour-long prayer meeting to sanctify the idol was earlier organised at Sankat Mochan Dham and by Congress leader Brijmohan Bhama, Balmiki Samaj and the temple's priests.

"Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him," said Bhama.

Accepting the souvenir, Sauvage-Mar, who is chairperson of Democrats Abroad-India, said, "Obama has extended his thanks for the support."

However, questions on Obama's religious beliefs elicited just a smile from Sauvage-Mar, apparently to avoid controversy back home where the Democrat senator is pitted against the Republican Party's John McCain in the Presidential polls.

The idol will be kept at the temple for 11 more days and then sent to US.

"We will perform the prayers for 11 days and then hand the idol to Carolyn who will send it to Obama," said the temple priest.

Another reason the head choppers will go after Obama. All he needs now is a pork chop stuck in his pie hole at a some function. The Detroit Taliban will have trouble pulling the lever for him.

We need to get a reaction from Farrakhan and his bow ties.

lucky nickel

Well, I've heard of worshiping the almighty dollar, but never a nickel ; )

here is a gift for Obama, just like the one the Brady Bunch got!

If somebody had written a novel with a character like Obama and a plot describing his attempt to take over the United States, I would never have believed it - until now. And it’s not a novel, unfortunately.

One wonders...

Daniel 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuman Hanuman (Sanskrit: हनुमत् Hanumat; nominative singular हनुमान् Hanumān), known also as 'Anjaneya' (son of Anjana), is one of the most popular Gods in Hinduism and one of the most important personalities in the Indian epic, the Ramayana. His most famous feat, as described in the Hindu epic scripture the Ramayana, was leading a monkey army to fight the demon King Ravana and rescue a kidnapped princess.

Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms.

That is rich, Obama carries a Monkey God charm around with him, too funny.

An Indian Hindu priest performs prayers in front of a statue of the Hindu god Hanuman.

Hanuman?

"Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman"

Wait for it....

"This is not the Lord Hanuman I knew."

[AnAmericanMother]

That looks like a woman with a cow’s tail.

That would be a huldra.

Norwegian forest elf, usually a very pretty lady, except for the tail . . .

A tactful young man was dancing with a (disguised) huldra at a party one time and noticed that her tail was showing. He whispered quietly to her, "Your garter has come untied, lady." She was grateful for his discretion and gave him good luck all his days.

“Hanuman is a winged monkey”

Ah, a supporter of Mrs. Obama.

[444Flyer]

“Hello...Hanuman.”

ROLFL!

[SlowBoat407]

will pass it on to the Obama

"The Obama". I like the way that plays. Let's use it.

The Obama...

[444Flyer]

How very Pagan of him.

1 John 5:21

“Dear, children, keep yourselves from idols.”

(Mentor Ole “Rev.” Wright must have skipped over that part of scripture.)

I do not know if Obama is a Lord Hanuman devotee and would not assume the article is right on that matter. But unless it is accepted only as a cultural artificat Obama should reject receiving this token.

Today marked the first time that a Hindu deity was thrown under the bus by the Barack Obama campaign, joining the ever-growing crowd there clinging to the greasy undercarriage, including Obama's pastor, his own Grandmother, Louis Farrakhan, Hamas, Father Pfleger, billions of Muslims, radical black liberationists and the majority of the white race. It is widely rumored that Obama will soon need to abandon the heavily-laden bus in favor of a hybrid Prius, in which he will not allow anyone else to ride or to speak until November.
