The Man Who Would Be Messiah vs. the Man Who Was

Some differences between Barack Obama, the Resident with the Messiah complex and Jesus Christ, the true Messiah.

Jesus received repentant sinners, and ate with them. Barack Obama receives unrepentant terrorists and writes glowing reviews of their books.

Jesus took five loaves of bread and two fishes and fed five thousand people with the leftover crumbs. Barack Obama will take your lunch and give back crumbs, too, but they'll just be regular crumbs.

Jesus allowed himself to be crucified. Obama won't even allow anyone to criticize him.

Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Obama said his daughter "shouldn't have to be punished with a child" should she get pregnant as a teen.

Why doesn't Obama like Winston Churchill?

Obama raised eyebrows a few years ago when he declined the honor extended to him by our ally Great Britain in offering to let him keep the bust of Churchill they lent to the Oval Office while President Bush was occupying it. And he also raised a question: why doesn't Obama like Winston Churchill?

My guess is that it was something Churchill said. And it could have been one of any number of things. Here are a few possibilities:

"There is no such thing as a good tax."

"Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon."

"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."

"We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile—hoping it will eat him last."

"The problems of victory are more agreeable than the problems of defeat, but they are no less difficult."

"If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy all respect for the law."
