Newsweek: Inauguration Is Second Coming

Newsweek SecondComingcover 2013 01 18 300x214 Newsweek: Inauguration is Second Coming

Conservatives have long joked that the national press corps see Barack Obama as the second coming of Jesus Christ. Today, Newsweek – at least what’s left of it, an online product for tablets and e-readers – made it official.

Next to a side shot of Obama’s head, the “Inauguration 2013” cover story pronounces: “The Second Coming.”

It’s an article by long-time Newsweek veteran Evan Thomas, who left the magazine after Tina Brown took over from the Washington Post Company and folded the debt-ridden publication into her Daily Beast site.

The January 18, 2013-dated online magazine, was posted Friday and I learned about it via an e-mail sent tonight (Friday) to those who were subscribers to the printed magazine.

Linking God and Obama isn’t new for Thomas, once an Assistant Managing Editor and Washington Bureau Chief for the former weekly.

  1. Jan. 21, 2013 will be a very sad day for me. Because we have the Chief Justice, John Roberts, who will swear in a man who has not been vetted, has not had a background check, ineligibile, unqualified, illegal, phony, lying, racist, bigot, half breed, bi-sexual, foreign national, Muslim who violated the war powers act, immigration law, refused to enforce existing law, used the EPA to usurp power over Congress, decided HE and not the Supreme Court would decide on the Constitutionality of existing law, abused the recess appointment process, set up a shadow cabinet of unvetted czars, declared over 900 executive orders, some that have set up a framework for a dictatorship, and has publicly flaunted his power in declaring he will continue to go around Congress as he sees fit, sending planes and tanks to Israel’s enemies, dislikes Jews and Christians and is against everything we stand for. I do not understand how Chief Justice John Roberts can allow this unless his loved ones have been threatened. I have a feeling Obama will be sworn in in private so he can put his hand on the Quran. Cheif Justice John Roberts is ignoring OUR Constitution which he swore to uphold!

  2. Barrack…..be careful when you mock God.

    • Yeah, Newsweek mocks God big time by comparing Barack aka: satan Obama to God. To say that his second inauguration is like the “Second Coming” is like saying he’s God. He’s, in reality, the complete opposite of God — AntiChrist.

  3. Most of us know of the comparable relationships between Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy. But have you ever considered the comparisons between Presidents Lincoln and Obama?

    1. Lincoln placed his hand on the Bible for his inauguration. Obama used the very same bible Lincoln used for his inauguration.
    2. Lincoln came from Illinois. Obama comes from Illinois.
    3. Lincoln served in the Illinois Legislature. Obama served in the Illinois Legislature.
    4. Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President.
    5. Lincoln rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration. Obama rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration.
    6. Lincoln was highly respected by some, but intensely disliked by others. Obama is highly respected by some, but intensely disliked by others.

    7. Abraham Lincoln was a tall, skinny lawyer. Barack Obama is a tall, skinny lawyer.
    8. Lincoln held to basic Conservative and Christian views. Obama is basically a tall, skinny lawyer.
    9. Lincoln volunteered in the Illinois militia, once as a captain, twice as a private. Obama is a tall, skinny lawyer.
    10. Lincoln firmly believed in able persons carrying their own weight. Obama is a tall, skinny lawyer.
    11. Lincoln ‘s administration had to borrow a lot of money to abolish slavery and save our nation, via the Civil War. Obama is a tall, skinny lawyer.
    12. Lincoln was undeniably, and without any doubt, born in the United States. Obama is undeniably a tall, skinny lawyer.
    13. Lincoln was honest – so honest that he was called “Honest Abe”. Obama is a tall, skinny lawyer.
    14. Lincoln preserved the United States as a strong nation, respected by the world. Obama is a tall, skinny lawyer.
    15. Lincoln showed his obvious respect for the flag, U. S. Constitution, and the military. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

    • Here are more comparisons of Obama and……………………………………..

      I was born in one country, raised in another.
      My father was born in another country.
      I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.
      I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
      My mother died at an early age from cancer.
      Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me, I later wrote a book idolizing my father, not my mother.
      Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
      My birth records were sketchy. No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate.
      I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn’t follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.
      I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
      That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and embarked on a new career.
      I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
      I became active in local politics in my 30′s; then, with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s.
      They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything.
      I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization.
      Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
      I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego.
      At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy… I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every opportunity to bash my country.
      But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy.
      I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.
      I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.
      It was the free market, banks and corporations.
      I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
      I called mine “A People’s Campaign”.
      That sounded good to all people.
      I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.
      I knew that, if I merely offered the people ‘hope’, together we could change our country and the world.
      So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include “persecuted minorities”.
      My true views were not widely known, and I kept them unknown, until after I became my nation’s leader.
      I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people associated with. I’m glad they didn’t.
      Then I became the most powerful man in the world.
      And then world learned the truth.

      If you were thinking of SOMEONE ELSE,
      You should be scared, very scared!

    • I read this once , twice and laughed and laughed.. You are so right – he is one tall skinny slab of misery that thinks he is a lawyer, but we cannot prove it because he has no papers……….THUS – he is a tall think slab of wannabeeeeeeee lawyer.

  4. Lincoln was the 1st coming of Christ, Obama was the 2nd!
    Guess that tells you Yanks what lies down your road!

    VietVet… Your statement 8 was wrong…. Lincoln was in NO way, shape, size or form anything remotely resembling a Christian. I have many many quotes and references to prove it. You wanna surrender now, peacefully, or do I have to attack and take no prisoners?

    • TRUE. I know his father in law said of Lincoln “Hes the greatest scoundrel yet unhung” Lincoln hand picked George Armstrong Custer to slaughter the Sioux indians due to his viscious nature. Lincoln was not the great man so many think he was.

  5. Obama is the son of the devil, and so are all the Demo-rats and Old Guard Rhino Republicans.

  6. The big difference between God and Obama is that God doesn’t think he is Obama.

    • Well said. Well said. Comparisons are odious but when people actually compare him to the One Living and Only God Almighty, then something is very wrong with this country

      • @barbpatton
        Very true, there is something very wrong with this country when people try and compare Obama to God. But also know, people done the same thing with Lincoln. There are paintings of Lincoln with him having wings ascending into heaven with the angles, not to mention the writings comparing Lincoln to Christ Himself. People don’t even know Lincoln wasn’t even a Christian! He NEVER professed it.

        Just as bad, from a personal experience I noted. Several years ago when George Bush II was in office, I ran across this woman in a forum who had a picture of herself kneeling before a large portrait of Bush. She had her hand clasp in prayer prying to his picture, kneeling. Below the picture she had wrote her words of prayer to George Bush, thanking him for saving the country and leading us to righteousness. I forget exactly how it read. This wasn’t some 18 or 20 some year old girl either. This was a woman who appeared to be over 30. How very sad indeed. This is what blind allegiance in politics gets us.
