On Wednesday, 29 April 2009, there was scheduled to be an unveiling of a painting depicting Barack Hussein Obama as the Christ Messiah.
The painting audaciously entitled, “The Truth” done by artist Michael D’Antuono is a 30” x 54” acrylic painting with Obama appearing much like Jesus Christ did on the Cross of Calvary.
Fortunately, this farce has been avoided. The artist had decided to stop the public unveiling of the painting under the pressure of public outcry. It's part of a trend dubbed as "Obama Worship". I have never heard of an American President getting this type of honor or reverence ever before. It kind of scares me. There is only one Messiah...one Christ. It's not Barack Obama. I'd like to see President Obama weigh in and say something about this trend. Unless of course he is comfortable with being viewed this way. I hope he isn't. You can read a great article called
