Tells me all I need to know to know Osteen is the charlatan I always suspected him of being.
FALSANI:
Who’s Jesus to you?
(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA:
Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.
I have seen where Osteen and his wife are the new Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.
I have always felt there was something wrong with Osteen. I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what it is about him that I don’t like. BUt there is something wrong there.
