Theologian Paul Begley of Indiana does a ten minute sermon on Michelle’s Jesus reference of April 17, 2012. He is NOT pleased!
Personally, I think Begley is being way too generous to Michelle in passing this off as a faux pas by her speech writers. This Obama-as-Jesus meme has been going on for years and the Obamas have both actively participated in it.
I’ve been collecting stuff about the Left’s elevation of Obama to some kind of divinity. [Brace yourself. There is some serious sacrilege here.]
After Michelle’s speech, there was an uproar from Christians, who conveniently do not put out fatwas on heretics like the Obamas (which is no doubt why they are NOT comparing Obama to Mohammed). Still … while there were no calls for stoning or beheading, there was enough outrage from Christians that the White House talking head tried to spin it that Michelle had not been referencing Jesus and the Bible, but Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz.
Yeah, right. Maybe in some all-gay neighborhood, the audience would think “Oz”, but Michelle Obama was speaking in the Bible Belt, for crying out loud!
Besides that, exactly one skinny week after Michelle’s speech, the Christian uproar and Jay Carney’s spin cycle, Barack Obama himself put on this “Can I have an Amen on that” for students at UNC.
We’ve seen how Obama treated the Catholic bishops’ protest over the HHS mandate.
March 6, 2012: Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic bishops, has released a public letter today detailing a stunning conversation he and other bishops had with top White House officials about the controversial Obama HHS mandate. The bishops were asked to come to the White House to “work out the wrinkles” of the mandate, but when they got there, were just told that, as far as Obama et al. are concerned, the mandate is carved in stone.
The White House Press Secretary sneered at the bishops, saying they had always opposed Health Care anyway, which is just flat out wrong. Most of them have supported it for decades, ignoring the warning bells tolled by the minority about exactly what has come about. Dolan said, “The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand Catholic teaching.”

How blatant and in our faces do they have to get before people of faith embrace the FACT that this administration HATES US?

THe Obama campaign has said they plan to use Mechelle more because she is so popular. I say go for it. She will eventually put her size 12’s in her mouth so many times her “popularity” will be just like her role model, the first Antoinette. Remember how they had to yank her off the last campaign trail when she made her “first time I am proud of my country” crack.
She cannot help but expose her true colors.
Get out there and campaign MeMechelle Antoinette.
Stick a fork in your dear hubbies campaign to destroy America.
You are both done.
Bye Bye.

I’m confused though … is the whole Carney blames it on Oz thing really made up? I believed you when you said he’d said that, didn’t check it or anything. I need sarc tags or jk or something.

Why, of course it happened. There’s the proof in that thar video, Chrissy!
Sorry, yes, I made it up, but as Dan Rather might say, it might be factually false, but it’s right because shut up.
Seems I have the same problem online and off of doing straight delivery of that which I erroneously presume will be understood as joking. The problem with this administration is, anything is believable. I will consider sprinkling more winklings. 😉
I would’ve had that video up the same day I first joked about it, but had technical difficulties. (All my computer equipment and peripherals come with a Murphy’s Law guarantee.)

I would appreciate winkies. Honestly … why would I NOT believe Carney would say such a lame thing, given the stuff he really does say?! It’s like … the satire can’t go FAR enough to not be possibly true, KWIM? Take that horrific Ode to Obama that Hanks narrated, thereby making it near impossible for me to ever again enjoy Toy Story, damn him. FULL of blatant, easily proved lies. Do they care? No.

Michelle was just elaborating on what Barack said back in 2008: “A light will shine down from somewhere. It will light upon you. You will experience an epiphany. And you will say to yourself, ‘I have to vote for Barack.”

Has anyone else read the Ender series? You know how Virlomi starts using the idea of herself as a goddess for political ends, but eventually comes to really believe it herself, with disastrous results? I keep thinking … surely Michelle, Barack and the others in charge don’t actually BUY this crap, they’re just USING it. But even a con artist may end up believing his own lies if he says them often enough, right?

I wonder about that all the time — do they believe their own BS, or are they just so used to lying that it comes naturally to them?
