Hmmm, let's look at some other headlines from weekly world news...You just can't make this shit up:
Trump: āI am the chosen oneā to fix U.S. trade imbalance with China
What an ignorant tool.
Speaking of ignorant tools.
MICHELLE OBAMA: BARACK IS THE MESSIAH! | Weekly World News
FBI ARREST BAT BOY AT NYC COMEDY CLUB | Weekly World News
SATURN IS A GIANT UFO! | Weekly World News
Seems legit, right?
Methinks your post reeks of desperation.
Yep, and some idiots just seem to have a short memory.
Newsweek Hails Obama as Messianic āSecond Comingā?
Did you even bother to read your own link? It was comparing Obama to the second coming of Lincoln, not Jesus, even said so in your link.
From your link.............................
While writer Evan Thomas insinuates later within the body of the article that the comparison was rather to Abraham Lincoln, others have found the cover to be a messianic statement that makes a play of Scripture.
āObama may not be the second coming of Lincoln, and our times are hardly as desperate as the civil war,ā Thomas wrote. āBut itās a good bet that Obama is more ambivalent than he lets on about the proper roads fostering prosperity while at the same time, cutting red ink, a challenge that divides the best of economists.ā
Many have been describing Obama as a type of messiah even before his first four years in office. Writer Dave Jolly notes that during the last election, Maggie Mertens, associate editor for the Smith College newspaper, penned an article entitled āI Will Follow Him: Obama as My Personal Jesus.ā
āObama is my homeboy. And Iām not saying that because heās black ā Iām saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters t-shirts from a couple years ago that said, āJesus is my homeboy,āā she wrote. āYes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus.ā
Jolly also pointed to an editorial in the Danish newspaper Politiken, which stated, āObama is, of course, greater than Jesus.ā
Additionally, to mark Obamaās 100th day of presidency, artist Michael DāAntuono unveiled a painting that he had crafted, which depicted Obama in the oval office wearing a crown of thorns and raising his arms as if on the cross.
During the Democratic National Convention last September, a number of vendors offered products that depicted Obama as a messiah. One poster that was sold at the DNC displayed the head of Obama, which faded into a graphic of an open Bible with the word āBarakā highlighted. Above Obama was the headline āProphesy Fulfilled.ā
