“Shiva is the god of the yogis, self-controlled and celibate, while at the same time a lover of his spouse (shakti). Lord Shiva is the destroyer of the world, following Brahma the creator and Vishnu the preserver, after which Brahma again creates the world and so on. Shiva is responsible for change both in the form of death and destruction and in the positive sense of destroying the ego, the false identification with the form.”

Translation: “Obama sucks because the job it just SOOOO hard, not because he’s an incompetent know-nothing affirmative action President with no experience or ability to do much of anything.”

Shiva, the Destroyer!

How fitting.

A much more accurate appellation and description for Obama than “messiah”.

FWIW, other Hindu gods, among them Brahma (the Creator) and Vishnu (the Preserver) are also often portrayed with multiple arms. I don’t see anything in the image itself to show it’s meant to be Shiva more than one of the others.

As usual, Newsweek is well behind the curve - even Obie’s liberal apologists have begun to realize he’s dropping all those balls he’s supposed to be juggling.

Time to start searching for a new false god, Newsweek (if you can stay afloat long enough).

I don’t know anything bout Hindu gods, but Obama is no god.

Just a racist a-hole who is way past his Peters Principle limits.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

FACT: Obama has the largest Executive Branch in the history of this nation.

FACT: Obama has more Czars than any previous administraiton in the history of this nation.

....and Newsweek wants to tell us he can’t handle the job?

“Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus”

He is provocative in insisting on an outstretched hand, where others only see animosity.

His tangible results in the short time that he has been active – are few and far between. His greatest results have been created with words and speeches – words that remain in the consciousness of their audience and have long-term effects.

He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions.

And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just been celebrated - - but rather the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama. [...]

be to Obama’s advantage.

Today, his historic Health Reform is being passed through the American Senate – a welfare policy breakthrough that several of his predecessors have been unable to manage. [...]

On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few.

Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game. But it is probably more meaningful to insist that with today’s domestic triumph, that he has already assured himself a place in the history books – a space he has good chances of expanding considerably in coming years.

Newsweak is a failing, hopelessly stupid magazine.

Obozo is a Muslim. Hindus are generally peaceful non-obtrusive, anti-communist people. What an insult to Hindus to position this anti-president as a Hindu god.

Obozo is a god. A god da-ned dog.
