'The crucifixion of the president was meant metaphorically,' he told Fox News. 'My intent was not to compare him to Jesus.'
I guess some people see him as their savior. I don't.

This is not the first time Obama has been
controversially compared to Jesus. Most recently, actor Jamie Foxx drew
flak when a pre-recorded BET special began with his exhorting the Soul
Train Awards crowd to "give an honor to God and our lord and savior
Barack Obama."
Have any other presidents ever come close to being
compared to Jesus Christ or be deemed “savior”? I know many have been
labeled anti-christ but this one is different. He is being lauded as a messiah.

“Truth” is the name of this unusual painting of
President Barack Obama as Jesus Christ. The piece is on display at the
Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery in Boston.
“You are made up of your truth, whatever you believe it to be. You are, what you believe.”
Someone also suggested he looks a bit like a gay coming out the closet.
This is not the first time Obama has been equated
with God. The first sighting was in an article in Newsweek, in which
Evan Thomas wrote (with a straight face, one presumes):
“I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above—above the world, he’s sort of God.
Bottom line is this:
Putting yourself on the same level as Jesus Christ, whether willingly or unwillingly, directly or indirectly is dangerous. Mr. O'Mahdi, just like anyone else claiming to be christian and whose image were used to portray the Savior should denounce this and request it be taken down. However, we all know Mr. O'Mahdi just says he is christian.
Let us not forget that Jesus was assassinated. The ultra-islamic world went ballistic when they claimed their religion was being blasphemed because a few scandinavians drew pictures of their prophet. What if some ultra-christian fanatic dislikes this event just as much and uses it as fuel for behavior equal to muslims in that instance?
This is serious stuff, which by the way, USAtoday failed to cover. It is important to get news from multiple media sources, not just mainstream media.
