4 times Barack Obama likened to Jesus, the Messiah: 'This is the New Testament'
'We thought he was going to be the next messiah,' Barbara Walters told Piers Morgan
3. Obama for Messiah images
The website Obama for Messiah '08 was created to “poke a little fun at those who seem to be waiting for Christ to abdicate his throne to Senator Barack Obama.” Although designed as a medium for satirical posters depicting Obama as a religious figure, the website contains multiple quotes from public figures likening Obama to a religious figure.
One image on the website features Obama wearing a robe emblazoned in red, white and blue, accompanied by the caption: “Walks on water but still needs your vote.” Another image shows Obama wearing a robe with his hand up in the air, along with text reading “heals the lame and promises health care.”
The third image on the site shows Obama making a thumbs up while his other hand is extended out along with text reading “taxes the wealthy and redeems our sins.” The fourth image is designed to emulate the Black Madonna painting of Mary and Jesus and features a woman holding Obama alongside text reading, “She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel.”
