Sheila Jackson Lee: Obama, Who Campaigned As Jesus, Who Was Specifically Called a New Jesus, Is Now Being Crucified... Like, Um, Jesus

“Well, I will say this. First of all, you’re absolutely right. There were those who cheered when Jesus was crucified, and we have found that despicable from the beginning of history to this time.”-- Sheila Jackson Lee, MENSA Chapter President

Guys -- what did you expect?

Did you not finish reading The Gospels? Did you not realize that the Jesus story ends on a bit of down note?

(Or, as Christians would say, a very up note; okay, let me say that just before the ending there is what many would call a downer.)

In any event, the ending was not "And then everyone just loved Jesus so much they erected a solar tower in His honor, and then He gave them free health care."

Just sayin'. You guys have been pushing Obama -- quite seriously -- as an actual avatar of Jesus Chris Himself, but now you're all a bit dumbfounded that your President and Savior is subject to an ordeal.

Tavis Smiley is pretty down on Obama (that's the angle in this Newsbusters account), so, sign that man up, give him a white hood, a bullhorn, and a firehose.
