1) Newsweek editor Evan Thomas once called Obama “a sort of God”. Chris Matthews from MSNBC was quick to agree:
2) Check out Newsweek’s sarcastic cover about Obama titled “God of All Things”
3) Artist Michael D’Antuono’s recent painting titled “The Truth” features Obama with his arms outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns upon his head:
4) The leader of the Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan once called Obama “The Messiah” (Link).
5) Comedian Jamie Foxx recently called Obama his “Lord and Savior” (Link).
6) Film maker Spike Lee once compared Obama to Jesus saying that after the election, history will remember this time as “B.B.” (before Barack) and “A.B.” (after Barack) (Link).
7) Author Mark F. Bozzuti-Jones wrote of Obama “And the child they had was given the name That One, the Blessing, the One who Confronts and wins the victory: Barack Hussein Obama, a Blessing for all peoples” (Link)
8) Several celebrities including Whoopi Goldberg and Dave Stewart referred to Obama as an “American Prayer” in an original song (Link).
9) Singer MAKADEM wrote a song called “Obama be thy name – Thy will be done” (Link).

In your view, do people place too much hope in politicians? If so, can this set them up for disappointment?
I believe politics is one of the most divisive, if not the most divisive, things in any society. To me, it often seems as though a person from one political party considers a person from an opposing political party an outright enemy despite being from the same country (see: USA), which is kind of ridiculous. I think almost all politics are bad, and almost all politicians are bad. I voted in the last two U.S. presidential elections, but I often wish I didn’t. I want to believe the politician I voted for each time (I voted for different candidates in 2008 and 2012) will help fix some of the country’s problems (economy, etc.), but ultimately I feel like any politician elected for any high-level position will do more harm than good, and there are many people who want to see that person fail to validate their own beliefs which they believe are correct.
