In America we elect presidents, we don't worship them. But the Weekly Standard blog offered a headline on April 17, 2012 that seemed to contradict this traditional practice.
In a short piece by Daniel Halper the headline was "Michelle Obama: 'This President Has Brought Us Out of the Dark and Into the Light' If it were not a direct quote taken from Michelle Obama's rally speech at a campaign event in Nashville, Tennessee earlier the same day, we could only imagine that some virulent anti-Obama politico went too far and just made up a false and despiteful headline to hurt the Obama campaign. But the headline is quite true.
Here is what is apparent. The Weekly Standard is no religious website and Daniel Harper is no dialectical theological giant like Karl Barth or a great expositor of the scriptures like Charles Haddon Spurgeon, but it is also apparent that he wasn't trying to be.
No one needs to be a theological giant to see that Michelle has overstepped the bounds of both common political discourse and sound theology. Jesus Christ alone is the light of the world (Mt 4: 16) and the power to dispel darkness is his alone to wield.
The theology of the Bible makes two things very clear. One is that angels are superior in every way to man, the other is that no angel in Old or New Testament ever allowed themselves to be worshipped. Most of them claimed to be messengers or servants of the Lord and abruptly halted any attempt to worship them. No Christian who has seen these examples would suspend the lessons taught by these examples and then worship a man, even if he is a sitting U.S. President....

I wasn’t aware that sasquatches had any particular theology at all!
Rev. wright was not Barack’s pastor, Wright was Michele’s Pastor!
¶Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

This man/infant posing as a god would be quite laughable if not for the high position in America he has and the destruction he has caused.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

I hear you! If we had an actual Mama Sasquatch as 1st Lady, she wouldn’t be blowing ten million dollars on continual vacations to far-flung, super-expensive digs; wearing weird, ugly, designer clothes and would NOT need any SS protection! She likely would also give bam a 50 yard toss every time he bowed down to some two-bit dictator or started eyeballing the male staff members! Just one lie and she would break his jaw...
Yep, I could live with that!
