When will it end? When will the mass hysteria and worldwide adulation of one man who served a mere 174 days in the U.S. Senate as the bulk of his political experience cease let alone do away with the messianic connotations?
By now, we've all read and heard stories about how the world seems content to label President-elect Barack Obama as "The Messiah" or a Christ-like figure who will solve all of their problems. Those reports were downright blasphemous, but today things have been taken to a whole new level.
8,000 Beduin stake their claim as the lost tribe of Barack Obama after sheikh in Galilee says he has evidence that he and his family are linked by blood to the new U.S. President-elect.
All hail Obama of Galilee, king of kings! Yeah right!
He has a host of relatives in exotic locations from Hawaii to Kenya, and during his run for the American presidency he suddenly "discovered" that he had an aunt living illegally and in poverty in Boston. Now, Barack Obama is being claimed by not one but as many as 8,000 Beduin tribesmen in northern Israel.
Although the spokesman for the "lost tribe of Obama" has yet to reveal the documentary evidence that he says he possesses to support his claim, people are flocking from across the region to pay their respects to the “Beduin Obama,” whose social standing has gone through the roof.
Sheikh Abdullah swears that he has papers and pictures to back up his claim but has promised his mother not to divulge them until he has presented them to Mr Obama, something he hopes will happen once his “relative” is in the White House.
“We want to send a delegation to congratulate him, and we know we’ll get an answer soon,” he grinned.
I wonder what will come first - proof of his heritage to Galilee or proof of his U.S. citizenship qualifying him to hold the office of president?
Of course, we all know that Jesus Christ spent most of his ministry around the Sea of Galilee. Jesus' first disciples also were from Galilee. Many of Jesus' miracles take place in Galilee as well.
Lord come quickly!
