>Barack Obama has been the President of the United States since January 2009. Since then, Obama has been promoted by other to positions that go far beyond human expectation.

Barack Obama as God

Evan Thomas compared Barack Obama to God. Thomas said:

EVAN THOMAS: Well, we were the good guys in 1984, it felt that way. It hasn’t felt that way in recent years. So Obama’s had, really, a different task We’re seen too often as the bad guys. And he, he has a very different job from … Reagan was all about America, and you talked about it. Obama is – we are above that now. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something, I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above above the world, he’s sort of God.

Barack Obama as the Holy Spirit

Columnist Charles Krauthammer, writing on The Washington Post, quoted Genesis 1:2, “And the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the waters,” and compared Obama’s work with the work of the Spirit of God. Krauthammer wrote:

When President Obama returned from his first European trip, I observed that while over there he had been “acting the philosopher-king who hovers above the fray mediating” between America and the world. Now that Obama has returned from his “Muslim world” pilgrimage, even the left agrees. “Obama’s standing above the country, above — above the world. He’s sort of God,” Newsweek’s Evan Thomas said to a concurring Chris Matthews, reflecting on Obama’s lofty perception of himself as the great transcender.

Not that Obama considers himself divine. (He sees himself as merely messianic, or, at worst, apostolic.) But he does position himself as hovering above mere mortals, mere country, to gaze benignly upon the darkling plain beneath him where ignorant armies clash by night, blind to the common humanity that only he can see. Traveling the world, he brings the gospel of understanding and godly forbearance. We have all sinned against each other. We must now look beyond that and walk together to the sunny uplands of comity and understanding. He shall guide you.

Barack Obama as the Christ

Jacques Phillip Eugene, writing is his book, Barack (Hebrew ‘Lightning’) Obama, wrote about Barack Obama:

“The ascendancy of Barack Obama to the highest office on earth comes to many as a lightning strike. The sign from the scriptures as shown in Mt 24:27 relating to the return of the Messiah, described a lightning that would shine from the East to the West. Being born of a father from Kenya (the East) and a mother from the USA (the West) reveals the universal character of the man whose brightness in humility and character is set to inspire the whole world.”

Now, you tell me: what else can we say about Barack Obama that has not been said yet?
