[ODDITHER]

This is my proposed letter to the editor - would like your suggestions.

[Mr. Brightside]

Elaine: He’s an enigma, a mystery wrapped in a riddle.

Jerry: Yeah, he’s a mystery wrapped in a Twinkie.

[anniegetyourgun]

I think he’s an anathema wrapped in socialism inside a good marketing plan.

[Wil H]

Good list, but I don’t think there is any mystery about him. He’s a Communist, and consistently so.

As Sowell stated, “But the country does not deserve to be put in the hands of a glib and cocky know-it-all, who has accomplished absolutely nothing beyond the advancement of his own career with rhetoric, and who has for years allied himself with a succession of people who have openly expressed their hatred of America.”

Obama is a Chicken McNugget wrapped in bacon inside of a cream puff.

[unspun]

I would add the term: “Cloward-Piven Strategy.”

[informavoracious]

0bama is dressing, stuffed into a chicken, wrapped up in a duck, inside a big turkey.

0bama is a TURDucken!!

The costs of the higher taxes would simply be passed on to the middle class and
working class by a downturn in the economy, fewer jobs, and higher consumer
prices. Since credit will be tighter, it will be a disaster for the economy. The other
serious dangers are in national security, social engineering programs, and changes
in the Supreme Court. If it happens, that all leads to a major crisis by 2012. When some other conservative Republican candidate runs for president to put the
pieces back together.

[Ezekiel]

Using Winston Churchill’s words, Obama is a “Riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma”. What do you really know about Obama?

We know without question, it now being five years after your original post, that he is one experienced and expert in riddle, mystery, and enigma.

ma·ven also ma·vin n.

A maven (also mavin) is a trusted expert in a particular field, who seeks to pass knowledge on to others. The word maven comes from Hebrew, via Yiddish, and means one who understands, based on an accumulation of knowledge.

This is a cross-reference to and continuation of yesterday's post re Dan 8:23.

חידות (chidot) are puzzles, riddles, enigmas. Games to be guessed; knots to be untangled; letters to be unscrambled, mysteries to be deciphered...

mystērion
μυστήριον

TDNT 4:803
The etym. of the word itself is a mystery. Probable, though not certain, is derivation from muo "to close" (the mouth, lips)

<<<

The etym. of the word itself is a mystery

Compare Hebrew:

Strong's H4565

מִסְתָּר

mistar

I.secret place, hiding place
A.
secret place
B.
hiding place
i.
for protection
ii.
for perpetration of crime

From סָתַר (H5641)

05641 cathar {saw-thar'}

a primitive root; TWOT - 1551; v
AV - hide 72, secret 4, close 2, absent 1, conceal 1, surely 1, variant 1; 82

1) to hide, conceal
1a) (Niphal)
1a1) to hide oneself
1a2) to be hidden, be concealed
1b) (Piel) to hide carefully
1c) (Pual) to be hidden carefully, be concealed
1d) (Hiphil) to conceal, hide
1e) (Hithpael) to hide oneself carefully

Compare the name Sethur:

סְתוּר

05639 C@thuwr {seth-oor'}
from 05641;; n pr m
AV - Sethur 1; 1

Sethur = "hidden"
1) son of Michael, the spy from the tribe of Asher

סְתוּר

60 + 400 + 6 + 200 = 666

name = character, identifier

A "hidden" name/character/identifier that also = 666
