“Just as a blameless Jesus took upon himself the sins of the world, I stand willing to take upon myself the blame for our nation’s economic troubles,” Obama declared.

I'm speechless.

[Howie66]

That’s mighty big of him.

In return, he can kiss my arse.

[festusbanjo]

So he’s Jesus now? I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around that one.

[Huskrrrr]

Jesus was sinless and a friend of mine Obama. You are no Jesus.

[Spktyr]

Isn’t one of the definitions of hubris confusing yourself with a god?

[madison10]

...and forgive Barack Hussein Obama for his narcissistic stupidity.

The only thing Barack Hussein Obama and Jesus have in common is that maybe they both wore sandals.

[workerbee]

Another winner, thanks.

Needed a little lightening up today!

[Riley]

This is satire- I think.

[festusbanjo]

You can tell that it’s satire, since no self respecting closeted Muslim would ever compare himself with Jesus.

[Mark]

Both were born in obscure circumstances.

Now that is funny. Good satire.

[kittymyrib]

Satire seems very close to the delusional world in which we find ourselves these days.

[samtheman]

Good one. It’s probably not even that far from what imamobama actually thinks of himself.

well yeah....who else would we blame and while we are at it....

[himno hero]

“no self respecting”

the magnitude of his lies and deception are overwhelming, boundless and amoral.

[Free in Texas]

I'm sure he walked across the water to get to his teleprompter and microphone.

[Nailbiter]

John does satire better than anyone I have ever read.
These days if I see something like this I first check if it is from John Semmens, then check keywords.

[Drew68]

Yes, I know this is satire.

Seriously, though, I'm not going to blame Obama for the lousy economy. However, I will blame him for the narcissistic belief that he was qualified for the Presidency despite having no executive experience anywhere on his résumé and having no real plan to improve things. And I'm going to blame 69 million American voters who treated a presidential election with no more seriousness than a season of American Idol.

[oldbrowser]

He has also had comparisons between himself and Abraham Lincoln and JFK in the past.

Now he thinks he reminds himself of Jesus.

this man is mentally ill and should be removed.

[bmwcyle]

To punish him for the economy, ideas?
