One can now purchase T-shirts with a photo of Barack Obama featuring the phrase "Messiah 2008" emblazoned on top. This is sickening...the man is a politician, people! Who comes up with this shit? Who has disconnected their higher reasoning centres to come up with this shit?

Jesus Obama, save me from your followers!

From the site connected to the CafePress shop: "The website was initiated as (and continues to remain) a parody -- calling attention to via exaggeration the phenomenon of secular messianism and the 'cult of personality' that surrounds Obama."

When you become so wrapped up in politics that you can't see the piss-taking for the trees, it's time to take a deep breath and step back... :)

I re-clicked and found the link I'd overlooked before. I admit, I was pretty overwhelmed by the initial "what the fuck" factor of it, especially as people have seriously made the Obama as Christ comparison.

Got a spare oxygen tank?
