"Obama as Christ" Statue Causes Commotion in Chicago!

Some call it art. Other call it blasphemy. A new piece of art showing Senator Barack Obama as Jesus Christ is now on display at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. A.J. Sterling has the story."

I Hear Obama's Speech Was Good and Included a Messiah Moment! Now With Video

Related 1/15/2011: James Fuller's death threats create an atmosphere of fear.
Update 1/13/2011: Video below. Plus, when she really opened her eyes for the first time.
Caught the word that Obama's speech last night was a good one.  Too bad he did not know how to give a good speech for the victims of Major Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas.

They keep playing clips of the speech, so I found a transcript. This is interesting:

I have just come from the University Medical Center, just a mile from here, where our friend Gabby courageously fights to recover even as we speak.  And I want to tell you -- her husband Mark is here and he allows me to share this with you -- right after we went to visit, a few minutes after we left her room and some of her colleagues in Congress were in the room, Gabby opened her eyes for the first time.  (Applause.)  Gabby opened her eyes for the first time.  (Applause.)

 Italics mine.
Another messiah moment!  Another messiah moment? Not quite:

Giffords is in a drug-induced coma in intensive care. Doctors frequently awaken her to check her responsiveness, and she could open her eyes and respond to simple commands Sunday - an encouraging sign, said Rhee said.

Sunday was a few days before the concert memorial.

I was looking for the witchdoctor pictures, but had to settle for this.

Executive Outings

Super-duper-secret White House tapes to be released 5 May, 2032:

The President approaches a shirtless Joe Biden, washing his Trans Am on the White House driveway, 'Hey Joe, wanna knock off work and have a burger?'

'Sure Barry!  Whatever you say Chief and Commandante!'

'Secret service?  This is your Messiah.  I want the motorcade ready for a burger run, got it?  None of those 'planning' excuses either!'

'Hey Gibs, get those puppies of yours rounded up, we are going on a road trip to the frontier, let's see what things are like in Hicksville, USA!'

Robert Gibbs, 'May I ask where we are going, your Excellency?'

'Arlington'

'Sir, shouldn't we take an airplane to go to Texas?'

'There is an Arlington in, where? Texas?  Fer-reel?'

'Yes Mr. President.'

'No, not that one, we are going to the one in Virginia.'

'Very good Sir, Hicksville USA, Arlington, Virginia.'

'Don't tell your press puppies that I called it that.'

'Puppies?'

'No, Hicksville,  and get someone from Interior or Commerce or, um, or someone to get one of the Arlingtons to change its name.  This is crazy like having more than one Springfield!'

The motorcade is assembled and the streets between the White House and Ray's Hell Burger are cleared.

The obedient press corps took their scraps of free-to-them meat and reported.  They had no idea that Reason Magazine's own Nick Gillispie has been onto them for a while.  Nick gave the puppy Press Corps a few hours of breathing room and launched this salvo:

Read the rest at the link.  Quite excellent.

These sorts of ultra-lame, super-calculated P.R. stunts really chap my hide. They're simply the obverse of official stories that Kim Jong-il doesn't ever go to the bathroom or that Mussolini could beat even Italian champs at tennis, clearly phony embellishments to alternately make leaders either superhuman or super-normal.

Yeah, Silent Cal in a headdress is kind of awesome. Barry O being all condescending about some hamburger is not. Fuck Barack Obama, yo.

Shut the fuck up, Bonnie Cosby.

whom he dismissed as "cheap dates."

That has to be related to RC's Law in some way. I mean, they are cheap dates, they spread their legs for vague promises of HOPEANDCHANGE after all, but I doubt Obama would like people to understand he's not kidding when he points it out.

But lest the liberals get their panties in a wad, this is no different than the 8,000 cut away shots of GWB clearing brush from his "ranch."

The problem isn't that they all do "commonmanisms," it's that the press reports on them with no recognition of how cynical they all are.

The Obamer does burgers? He should have taken his new secretary of Asian affairs to White Castle. After a couple tokes, of course.

OK, who linked to this story? We obviously got picked up by some damn partisan site somewhere. Fess up, now.

Yes a true partisan, John Cole.
