Current politics

As I considered the Obama campaign, several things came to mind....

Jesus Vs. Obama

 

Jesus

Obama

 

Fed 5000 with a few fishes and bread

Will end poverty (i.e. feed the poor) (35.9 million below poverty level)

Obama wins

Healed the sick (by most accounts, thousands)

Will make sure the 45.8 million uninsured Americans will get health insurance (i.e. heal the sick)

Obama wins

Raised the dead

(Maybe if he gets John Kerry as a running mate...)

Jesus wins

During his life, the Romans ruled with an iron fist, after his death, Jerusalem fell and the Middle East was plunged into 2000 years of turmoil.

Will talk to both sides and bring about peace in the world.

Obama wins

Asks for 10 percent of your income.

Wants you to keep 10 percent of your income.

Jesus wins

Walks on water.  Father has made sun stand still and parted the Red Sea.

Will stop the seas from rising and swallowing up mankind by stopping global warming.

Tie

Has changed the course of history.

Claims he will change the course of history.

Jesus wins

 

 

 

It's a tie.  To edge out the son of God, he will need to raise the dead, walk on water, or win the election (destroying our country will change the course of history).

 

Hitler Election Vs. Obama Election

 

Hitler

Obama

 

Will end the suffering of the common man.

Tie

Decorated combat veteran.

Claims war hero does not qualify you as President.

???

Wants to export his counties military to other countries.

Wants to export his country's wealth to other countries.

???

Vote for Hitler and vote for change.

Vote for Obama and vote for change.

Tie

A true Fascist.  (Wants to socialize parts of the economy, and wants to keep other sectors in private hands with strict government oversight).

A true Fascist.  (Wants to socialize parts of the economy, and wants to keep other sectors in private hands with strict government oversight).

Tie

Promises to fix horrific economy.  (Worst economic crisis in German History).  (Succeeds).

Promises to fix horrific economy.  (Economic downturn minor in historic context).  (Will most certainly fail).

Hitler (At least he was honest)

Said he was anti-gun.  Took guns away from private citizens.

Said he was pro-gun.  Voted anti-gun 90% of his voting history.

Hitler (At least he was honest)

Claims he will change the course of history.

Claims he will change the course of history.

Tie

 

 

 

Hitler wins.  At least he was honest and he never raised my taxes.  Hilter cost our country much money, but the War pulled us firmly out of the Great Depression and into a huge economic boom.  Obama will probably do just the opposite.  Hitler got a huge number of people killed; I suspect that Obama's foreign policy will do the same.
