I know we've all had it a little up to here with the whole Messiah complex from Obama. From the pictures of him with halos, to the electric crosses burning brightly behind him, to the "Jesus was a community organizer" motif.
But now it seems they're changing things up a little bit. Obama, according to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is now just like...(drumroll please)...The Virgin Mary. This from The New York Times:
Twenty years ago,” he (Wright) told the crowd at Elmwood’s branch here on Clinton Avenue, “a scrawny little kid, pointed nose, big-eared, mama from Kansas, daddy from Kenya — the Lord told him, an ordinary black boy, ‘You can be a state senator and you can bring folk to the bargaining table who not only do not talk to one another, these folk don’t like one another.’I don't know why but this actually ticks me off even more than the Obamessiah thing.
“He did what the Lord said,” Mr. Wright continued, “an ordinary black boy like Mary was an ordinary little girl.
The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town called Nazareth,to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph and the virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, he said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
But Mary said to the angel, "Uh...that's a little above my pay grade. And anyway, I don't want to be punished with a baby."
Shaking head ....
Obama and Mary both receive similar treatment from far too many FReepers.
You see, Obama didn’t need a virgin birth. He, the ultimate metrosexual, birthed himself by his divine will. </disgusted sarcasm>
Oh my... for the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Barack Obama wears a blue dress?
Please explain this puzzling statement.
Rush just covered this...shaking head is right.
Tossed under the bus (again)
And this was taught in a Christian church?
I’m gonna have to sign up for the NYT’s one of these days (silly of them — everybody else puts their stuff out on the internet wide-open)
Rev. Wright’s “theology” on parade again

Paging Larry Sinclair! Please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Get. Yo. Chirren. Out the muddy muddy.
Chirdren of the Lord.
Great, now he’s the “Blessed Virgin Barry”
(forgive me for that one)
Young Barry spent lots of time hanging out drinking tea and reading poetry with his communist mentor, a pedophile by the name of Frank Davis. I seriously doubt Obama is a “virgin”.
He is Cain to his inner Abel.
Maybe what really happened was that Rev. Wright said that Obama was toast, and someone misunderstood and thought the good reverend had seen Obama’s face in a piece of charred whole wheat.
I look at him with disdain..
This jives with Donna Brazille’s “Jesus Christ, Like Obama, was a Community Organizer, and Pontias Pilote was a Governor, like Palin” Remark from a few days ago...
These people have COMPLETELY LOST IT!!!
I wonder what Larry thinks about this?
what would the Rev Wright know about the Virgin Mary? that male pig.........I heard his remarks.......he’s nuts...
I don’t think his former boyfriend Larry... would agree, he’s like the Virgin-Mary!

The Prayer of the Virgin Mary
The Magnificat - The Canticle of Mary
About the Magnificat
The Magnificat [Latin: magnifies], also called the Canticle of Mary, is recorded in the Gospel of Luke (1:46-55). It is the Virgin Mary's joyous prayer in response to her cousin Elizabeth's greeting (Luke 1: 41-45). This great hymn forms part of the Church's prayer in the Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours). When it is recited as part of the Divine Office, it is followed by the Gloria Patri ("Glory be"). The traditional sung Magnificat is Latin plainchant. One of the hymn's most glorious musical renditions is the version of the Magnificat by J.S. Bach.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the Magnificat as "the song both of the Mother of God and of the Church" [CCC 2619], and explains this prayer's significance:
Mary's prayer is revealed to us at the dawning of the fullness of time. Before the Incarnation of the Son of God, and before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, her prayer cooperates in a unique way with the Father's plan of loving kindness: at the Annunciation, for Christ's conception; at Pentecost, for the formation of the Church, His Body. In the faith of His humble handmaid, the Gift of God found the acceptance He had awaited from the beginning of time. She whom the Almighty made "full of grace" responds by offering her whole being: "Behold I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be [done] to me according to Thy word". "Fiat": this is Christian prayer: to be wholly Gods' because He is wholly ours. [CCC 2617]
The Magnificat appears below both in English and in Latin.
My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
Scripture text: Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition
Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.
Amen.
I’m guessing you’ve never read any Mary-centered thread on the religion forum.

Well, large crowds do show up to admire his apparition.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
World without end. AMEN.

Please. For the love of God. No photoshops of Obama on the body of the Virgin Mary.
Now, think back to the Reverend Wright "goddamn America" video of earlier in the campaign cycle.
Remember the guy who leaps out to "touch" Rev. Wright? He just jumps up and comes out and touches the Rev. and the hall erupts in applause.
It's like he's some sort of Mr. Interlocutor.
Well, in the Obama calling Sarah a pig deal, you'll see a guy who looks like the same interlocutor doing the same thing ~ leaping up (here he rises up a bit from his bench), he reaches out toward Obama. He doesn't quite touch him, but the crowd erupts in applause and laughter.
So what is this guy's job? Why is he working for Wright and for Obama? I thought Obama walked away from Trinity UCC, yet, a major figure from the TUCC video world is right there directing the audience and touching Obama.
Anyone know any more than that on this shadowy figure? Anyone even know who he is?
Chortle ... ;-)
Let the word go forth, to Democrat foes alike, “Speak on idiot Dems, speak on!”
I loved those guys! But no one else seems to talk about them. I guess because the touching thing is so "out there" that no one knows how to process it. I know I don't. But I still think it's great. It's bleepin hilarious.

LOL! Indeed it does. ;O)
