Obama reaches a new low
« on: September 24, 2008, 09:13:37 AM »
Now I lay me down to sleep.... I pray Obama my soul to keep?

Yes, Obama has a childrens book out now. Its a bedtime storybook that is just full of propaganda and it does everything it can to further his Messiah cred. WOW!


One reviewer at Amazon notes:
Quote
Barack comes across as a Moses for our times. He is spoken to by "Hope", and later on it seems that Hope turns into the voice of God. God doesn't just stir his soul but recites sentences/a paragraph, and seems to anoint him a modern-day prophet. The child in the book even compares him to Joseph of the new testament.

Another:
Quote
Even God himself talks to Barry while he's in church on Sunday, telling him: "Look around you. Now look to me. There is hope enough here to last a lifetime." The author takes many liberties, creating an almost Messiah -like view of the Illinois Senator. If you are a responsible parent, you should look elsewhere. If your child admires Barack Obama, look up the facts together. Don't let one person's over-the-top love for Obama indoctrinate your child.

I kinda doubt Obama himself had anything to do with this book (mind you I'm only replying to your post and have done no research on this) but this level of admiration is really startling. There truly is a cult of personality around the guy and the art that usually depicts him is reflective of those that depict Stalin and Che Guevara.

He may not have written it, but if they are using his name and likeness then you better believe he knows about it, and is getting well paid for it.


Look through this book, next time you are in a book store.... it will make you sick.

Actually, Glenn Beck has a magazine serial and the one he's been advertising lately has a picture of Obama with the title of "Messiah or Mussolini?" with one side of the picture making him look like Jesus and the other have is....you get the point.

This level of propaganda is extremely disturbing, I come back to the US on the 28th so I really wonder if its really as bad as the internet depicts it.

Exactly.
Doesn't that book cover bear a striking resemblance to posters one might have seen or saw in Cuba (or similar country)?

Here are a couple "reviews" on the book....

got them from Amazon.com

1.0 out of 5 stars  A review from a teacher...If this were a read aloud book, September 12, 2008

By    J. Roemisch "thepeaceof2911" (Chicago) -
(REAL NAME)   

I'm a 2nd grade teacher. I went to Barnes and Noble tonight and one of my missions was to look at the picture books regarding the presidential candidates (I knew that there had to be a few by now) to read to my students during our daily read aloud times. I want to be able to present each of the candidates in a fair manner. While at the store I found this book.

The books is SO heavy-handed (I looked to see if it hadn't been written by, endorsed by, or if the profits weren't going directly to the DNC). Barack comes across as a Moses for our times. He is spoken to by "Hope", and later on it seems that Hope turns into the voice of God. God doesn't just stir his soul but recites sentences/a paragraph, and seems to anoint him a modern-day prophet. The child in the book even compares him to Joseph of the new testament. This is going WAY too far (unless of course we are to expect The Book of Barack to be added to the Bible any day now). Actually, the heavy-handed writing made me laugh as I rejected even the possibility of bringing it into the classroom.

I do, though, allow adult guest readers to bring in books of their choosing when they join us for read alouds. I started to wonder how I would handle the situation if someone brought in this book. My solution will be to apologize immensely and then mention, "Oooops, we were suppose to go to the art room for a special presentation. We'll have to reschedule this read aloud."

There is no way I could present this book to my students. I might as well read the Bible and replace major names with Barack.

PLEASE publishers! Give us DECENT books about the candidates.

(*A note to Barack (though I doubt he will be taking time to read my little review):
Do you endorse these books or comments that compare you to Biblical figures???? I think you would do your campaign well to tell people to start considering you to be a mere man. You aren't a rock star. You aren't a prophet. I think these comparisons might wear on people and lose you an election.)



GOD talks to Barack Obama???, September 8, 2008
By    R. Register "Mac Snob, Audiophile" (Houston, TX) - (REAL NAME)   

Even God himself talks to Barry while he's in church on Sunday, telling him: "Look around you. Now look to me. There is hope enough here to last a lifetime."

The above was taken from this children's book, Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope. Now, let me be clear about my review: The negative rating comes not from my personal political opinions. I am genuinely concerned about the way Barack Obama has been portrayed in this book.

Sure, it can be said that Barack Obama is an inspirational character. He has accomplished much in his young life, and it is understandable that he is admired by many. It's books like this one that cross the line. This book should not be characterized as Biography, but more like a work of Historical Fiction. It's loosely based in fact, but the author takes many liberties, creating an almost Messiah -like view of the Illinois Senator.

If you are a responsible parent, you should look elsewhere. If your child admires Barack Obama, look up the facts together. Don't let one person's over-the-top love for Obama indoctrinate your child.

***Update: Due to some questioning of my negative review, I felt it was appropriate to add this:

A messianic figure is a person who is viewed as having a number of the characteristics of the Messiah in the eyes of a particular group. These usually include that the person is charismatic, influential, develops a power base, is appealing to a large group that views itself as oppressed in some way, and appears to offer a way to overthrow that oppression.

Please, just go to your local bookstore and read it for yourself. You don't have to take my word on it....just thought I would share my opinion by posting a review. :)

Suppose Obama will want to change the title from President to Tzar?
I love waking up every morning knowing that Donald Trump is President!!

HERE'S THE "MESSIAH" BLOWING SMOKE UP HIS FOLLOWERS ASS:

Then it came to pass in the Land of Entitlement that the Word became Change and the Change became Hope and the Hope became Change You Can Believe In.

And The Obamessisah went about all fifty-seven states, teaching at their Caucuses and Primaries, healing malaise among the poor in spirit, and preaching the gospel of Progress.

 Then His fame went throughout all the land; and they came to Him all people who were afflicted with Bush Derangement; and those who were hopenitized; moonbats and troofers; and He wooed them.

Great multitudes followed Him - from Chicago to Jersey, and beyond the Hills of Beverly.

And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain and stepped into the floodlights where they had built for Him a temple, and His disciples gathered around Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor,
For theirs is the kingdom of State expropriated wealth.
Blessed are the jobless,
For the taxpayers shall be their keepers.
Blessed are those who lost their homes,
For they shall inherit a bailout.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for Change™,
For they shall be filled with a great taxpayer-funded feast.
Blessed are all who have grievances,
For they shall be compensated through civil rights lawsuits.
Blessed are the peace protesters,
For theirs is the Progressive World of Next Tuesday™.
Blessed are those one illness away from disaster,
For they shall obtain free health care.
Blessed are our homosexual brothers and sisters,
For they shall be married and receive Intensive Family Preservation programs and Family Reunification privileges from the immigration authorities.

"Blessed are you when Republicans revile and persecute you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for people love me, so when you follow me, the world will love you, also.
"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, it is then good for nothing but to be thrown under the bus.
"Do not think that I came to shrink the size of government.
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one dot above an 'i' will by no means pass from the law or government till all of my audacious dreams are fulfilled. And then I will build more.

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'We are responsible for ourselves,' but we in truth rise or fall as a collective; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper - unless he lives in a hut in Kenya.

"And I say to you that whoever goes to war or tortures another without a progressive cause, shall be in danger of the judgment by the rest of the world. And whoever says to another the word 'unilaterally' shall be in danger of the judgment by the UN council.
Therefore if you bring international aid to the altar of appeasement, and there remember that those nations' rulers are against you,
leave your aid there and go away.
Agree with your adversary quickly, without preconditions, lest your adversary accuses you of crimes against everything and deliver you to the judges of The Hague.

"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart, so go right ahead, just make sure to get the media to cover it up for you.
 If your right eye causes you to sin, invite the left one to join in; for if it looks good, it can't be wrong.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, make sure to have enough for the left hand; for if it feels good, it can't be wrong.

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
But I tell you not to break the peace unless you can pin it on Republicans. But whoever else in the world slaps you on your cheek, pander to him with largesse.
If anyone wants to sue you and have your money, let him have your country also.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 32But I say to you, hate your rich neighbors and love the government officials who redistribute their wealth.
And love your country's enemies too, for the enemy of Amerika is your friend; bless those who curse it, do good to those who hate it, and agree with those who spitefully use it and attack it,
that you may be the progressive children of The Obamessiah; for He makes the sea levels fall and sends rain and hurricanes on the conventions of the unjust.
For if you love those who love you not, you get to wail and lament. Did not the Screen Actors Guild do so?
And if you snivel loudly enough, you will be rewarded. Was not the Screen Actors Guild rewarded so?
Therefore you shall be perfect, just as The Obamessiah is perfect.

"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrite bitter clingers. For they love to pray standing on the corners of the streets, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Assuredly, I say to you, when you pray, go into your local government office, and pray to your Messiah who is in the White House; and The Obamessiah will reward you openly.

"Therefore do not be like them. For The Obamessiah knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Player, Barack the Messiah,
Washington be thy game.
Thy welfare come,
Grabbeth all thy guns
So we will think that we're all in heaven.
Taxeth away our daily bread,
And giveth to those identity groups who trespass against work.
Make us not a prosperous nation,
For all wealth is evil,
And thine is the shakedown with all power and fury.
Obamunist forever. Amen.


"Enter by the narrow gate of Obamunism; for wide is the gate and broad is the way of Capitalism that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to Obamunism, and there are few who find it.
For if you take from each according to his ability, The Obamessiah shall give to each according to his needs.

"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on land purchased at a discount from a friend.

"But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who sat on his hands when the rain descended, the floods came, and drowned New Orleans."

And so it was, when The Obamessisah had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,
for He taught them as one having authority, and not as one offering more of the same.
"Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History ! "
