1. Wrong. Obama IS the Messiah.
Jake   (06.03.09)
After all, we Jews supported this guy in droves. Obama's triumphal entrance to the world stage was ushered in by the great Forerunner, David Axelrod. Even among American gentiles, polls indicate that Obama is popular than Jesus. Yes We Can!
2. 4 yrs ??
eli   (06.03.09)
he will loose the next election, but it will take 2 years to evict from the white house so figure 6 years.
3. not a messiah,but a leftis't bolshevik traitor
chaim ,   brooklyn ny   (06.03.09)
who is out to destroy western civilization
4. more like gog and magog
david ,   new york   (06.03.09)
obama is a disaster for israel. now he is testing what he can get away with (e.g. threatening via his proxies to withdraw support for israel if the israeli govenment if they don't do exactly what He wants). Just wait until later. if heaven forbid he wins a second term (and most presidents do), then he can do whatever the ____ he want to do.
5. Bush was Great!
steven ,   New York   (06.03.09)
Bush was a Better Friend To Israel! Remember Bush Blocked many UN Sanctions and Bush Gave Money and Weapons Israel Should Be Grateful to Bush, Stop Crying maybe there will be another President Like Bush a true friend to Israel!
6. someone needs a cup of kool aid
ben Ish   (06.03.09)
7. Obama - Messiah
lawrence ,   Philadelphia, USA   (06.03.09)
Be careful. Many people in th USA beleive that he is the messiah. During the campainge he was greeted with OBAMA, Messiah, Obama Messiah. It is scary but many people in the USA worship him. As can be noted by the talkback by Jake (#1).
8. I Can Think Of Several Words
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (06.03.09)
Beginning with M to describe Obama but MESSIAH is not one of them.
9. messiah?
avi ,   nyc   (06.03.09)
he's not even eligible!
10. Barak HUSSEIN Obama
Spencer ,   Israel   (06.03.09)
He's no friend of Israel. He's just a power-drunk novice trying to make a name for himself at the expence of the USA and Israel. Bows to the King of Saudi Arabia; making overtures to the mad regime in Iran who have sworn to destry Israel and never let a an opportunity go by to attach the USA and all she has stood for; Has said NOTHING to the king of Saudi Arabia about the plight of women in that country or their human rights record.....All those stupid people who voted for him must now be crying...that is, if they have the interests of the USA at heart.
11. Jake, grunting robots like you raise the hair on the back...
Cameron ,   USA   (06.03.09)
of my head. Cold realities on the ground & the passage of time will put the zap on Obama and his "transformational" administration.
12. #7, #11, etc. WOW, people. I give up!
Jake   (06.04.09)
When I said, "Obama is the Messiah", I was attempting to use a little humor and sarcasm, but some people actually think I'm serious. Geez, watch "Life of Brian" and lighten up already. I will not do this joke again, lest some dupes actually start believing it. For the record , if there is anything that is exactly the opposite of a messiah, Obama comes pretty close to it.
13. Obama & the ME inspire little humor, Jake
Cameron ,   USA   (06.04.09)
Affairs be just a bit too heavy.
14. once upon a time
nana ,   jerusalem   (06.04.09)
moses thought that he knows better than any other human as he was the prophet and god spoke to him . then god order him to follow an ordinary good man that know better than him ... this story was done to remember that god is over any other .... i believe on messiah i do not think obama is the one but sure he is better than the destructive bush . ..in 8 years he could destruct iraq and the world economy .. sure in 4 years no one can built it again .. but evry one has a brain and is a responsible one must try to do it . and remember god can help . but messiah is not coming yet the raod is full of obstacles . obama try to remove some obstacle with the help of many states but not israil only
15. he is just a bad stand up comedian.
ghostq   (06.04.09)
Saturday Night Live gave him the boot, so he run for the senat, and later on, to presidentcy.
16. Al Qaeda Not the Waffen SS Guys
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (06.04.09)
Okay, okay, lets get to reality. Obama won thanks to the PR of Axelrod and others, who convinced the young and inexperienced that McCain was a dope and just more of Bush. Obama has flip-flopped on most every campaign promise, cept the printing of trillions for Wall St, firms. Change..where, have you seen any? Security: Gitmo is open still, and trials will be the same. Torture, oh come on guys, get real. The Muslims can teach us something about torture. Iran is moving fwd towards the bomb and Korea is a mess. Chavez is nationalizing more, and pushing Communism in So. America. China holds a trillion in our bonds. Syria still allied with Iran (supporting Hez and Hamas). Pakistan/Afghanistan/Iraq's problems are their own doing..NOT US and NATO forces trying to keep them from killing one another. The audacity that we (US) are fomenting hatred..okay, then lets leave, like yesterday, all at once. and let them fight among themselves. Al Qaeda still ranting and raving..w/o any real power. I mean, they are not the German SS guys, just a few thousand men, in towels, with Ak-47s and lots of hate.
17. reply to jake
lawrence ,   phila, usa   (06.04.09)
I know you were kidding but my point is that there are many americans and people around the world who arn't. Time Magazine earlier today decalred him a prophet. I know you meant it light hearted but it scares me that many really think this way about him.
18. I have a prayer to Messiah Obama for #1 here goes........
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. DPRSSA   (06.04.09)
HAIL OBAMA, Our Lord and risen King. HAIL OBAMA, You rule over everything. We'll worship you until we die. You are our blessed Obama. Hail Obama, Our Lord and risen King.
19. To number 8
Yes We ,   Can Hate   (06.05.09)
In the US it starts with a N, not an M and in South Africa it with a K Im not a racist, i hate all races equally
20. #16 - Nice Summary
Paul ,   NC, USA   (06.04.09)
It's good to see a few Californians still have their head screwed on right.
21. Obama the Messiah... nope
Pope ,   Vetican   (06.05.09)
Just the Anti -Christ
22. messiah
mike ,   westminster, ca   (06.05.09)
Are you implying there is more than 1 Messiah in your opinion.?
23. Very true, but at least he is taking the first step.
vered ,   israel   (06.05.09)
