He ventured forth to bring light to the world
The Times of London ^ | July 25, 2008 | Gerard Baker

Posted on 07/25/2008 5:17:03 AM PDT by Joiseydude

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

The Messiah's Gospel... will the Passion Act be about His Ascension or His Crucifixion?

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

There he was welcomed with open arms by the once great prophet Blair and his successor, Gordon the Leper

I thought it was a bit laboured, but "Gordon the Leper" is spot-on.

Yes, this article does capture the nature of the Obama true believers. I tried this a.m. to get an idea of how people understood the speech by reading the NYT, WP and WSJ. No help.

Everyone says the words were wonderful, but they don’t understand what they augur for. One pundit summed it up by saying, Obama was asking Germany for more financial and military help in Afghanistan. Good luck! He will need it.

Just stop this stupid and outdated technicality of an Election. Osama/bama is now our FUERHER, er president of America and the entire world.

The graphic below shows, the only difference between o-B-ama and o-S-ama is just a bit of B.S.

OMG!!! This is "verily" hilarious, LOL!

"At the mention of his name they quickly laid aside their intrigues and beat their uranium swords into civil nuclear energy ploughshares."

...

And they told of strange and wondrous things that greeted the news of the Child's journey. Around the world, global temperatures began to decline, and the ocean levels fell and the great warming was over.

Whoever wrote this is a genius. And I say that as an American watching from the sidelines...I'm not subjected to the Obama adoration 24/7, but had a good taste of it yesterday,just listening to the coverage on talk radio of his Berlin speech.

And he grew into knowledge in the House of Harvard by the grace of the lowly herders who paid their tithes in the form of sheep skins.

When the Child had grown into manhood, he took unto himself a wife, Michelle, the angry, a daughter of the clan of the Kennedy from the land of the Cod on the Cape.

One pundit summed it up by saying, Obama was asking Germany for more financial and military help in Afghanistan.

To his credit, that's true--the quote on talk radio up here was, "America can't do it all alone; we need Europe's help to fight terrorism, etc.," to sum it up.

However, he knew he had a big stage, lots of press coverage, and perhaps conveniently said that for the folks at home, without truly believing it, although since he may be the next president, I'd like to think otherwise.

Grandpa.. only thing wrong with that political cartoon, Is Obamamessiah was on the stage by himself, he had no other supporters on the stage with him...Just himself. Which was good thing as Obama’s Messiah ego took up the whole platform.

For George Soros so loved his Money, that he sent forth Obama ...not to save the world, but that the world might believe the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, so that his pocketbook would grow and multiply.

“This should be sent to all the comedy writers who say it’s tough to make jokes about Obama.”

Indeed! I think this will most definitely break the ice and hopefully a tidal wave of jokes will flood over him. Filled with Fire and brimstone if possible.

right out of the "left behind" series. Why is Obama exposing himself... the knowing Christian world will tear him up...maybe...unless there is another... the real ONE is on the horizon.

Sorry, just think out in type.
