Celebs compare Obama to Jesus, Gandhi By Betsy Rothstein

Movie star Susan Sarandon compared President Obama to Jesus. Broadway and film actor Alan Cumming thought of him more like Mahatma Gandhi.

“He is a community organizer like Jesus was,” Sarandon said Tuesday night on the bright blue carpet leading into the Creative Coalition’s 2009 Ball at the Harman Center for the Arts in Chinatown. “And now, we’re a community and he can organize us.”

Sarandon said she planned to push hard for veterans’ rights. “That’s going to be my personal b---h,” she said. Cumming was mesmerized with Obama. “He’s like Gandhi or something,” he said. “He’s got that powerful, soulful thing in him.”

Sarandon and Cumming were among the many stars in Washington for Obama’s Inauguration. All seemed star-struck by the new president, and several expressed pleasure that former President Bush’s term was over.

How can anyone but conclude that brains and acting skills are mutually exclusive?

At some point in the future, these folks are either going to feel deeply stupid or deeply horrified.

“He’s like Gandhi or something,”

"Can I just eat my waffle?"

--Mahatma Ghandi

No; that just doesn't even look right.

I have always wondered how these actors with such low IQ’s are capable of memorizing scripts.

"Hi, I'm Alan Cumming. You know, lobotomies used to be a taboo subject, something you never talked about, but I'm here to tell you that, not only are they fun, but they're trendy too! I can't wait till I get drilled again!"

Yes, community organization is definitely the main message of the gospel. How did I miss that, and here I thought it was about Jesus sacrificing his life so that those who believe will be saved. Shows what I know. (on part of it)

Mahatma Gandhi never had a linebacker at his side.

Wasn’t Ghandi the guy who used to pump gas at the filling station where Hillary used to buy her gas?

We can do something about this. Do NOT buy any of these celebutards books, records, DVDs etc. Don’t see their movies.
They are proud of this imposter as their president now?
They are proud to be Americans now?

Good start, but I would add don't buy a thing put out by any publishing organization. I get free DVD from the library, the worst hit to the hollyweird bottom line I can find.

Use the free on the net and never ever click on an ad.

Yeah I gotta admit that is a remarkably stupid comment even for Sarandon.
