[Pic] Obama worship reaching new heights

by Infidelesto on April 25, 2009 · Comments

You wonder why normal people jokingly call him “The Messiah” or “The One”? It’s cause we’re mocking the despicable God-like worship by so many pathetic Obama drones.

And now we get more of it:

This painting that will be unveiled in New York City on Obama’s 100th day in Office: (h/t Newsbusters, Flopping Aces)

Michael D’Antuono may raise more questions than answers when he unveils his highly controversial new painting, “The Truth” on the South Plaza of NYC’s Union Square on the 100th day of Barack Obama’s presidency. The artist’s politically-, religiously- and socially-charged statement on our nation’s current political climate and deep partisan divide has been privately raising eyebrows (and voices) since its creation.

The 30″ x 54″ acrylic painting on canvas depicts President Obama appearing much like Jesus Christ on the Cross; atop his head, a crown of thorns. Behind him, the dark veil being lifted (or lowered) on the Presidential Seal. But is he revealing or concealing and is he being crucified or glorified?

D’Antuono insists that this piece is a mirror; reflecting the personal opinions and emotions of the viewer; that “The Truth” like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. D’Antuono expects that individual interpretations will vary as widely as they do in the political arena. The work will be seen by one viewer at a time behind a voting booth-inspired public installation.

Until now, Mr. D’Antuono has chosen to paint purely non-political subject matter, opting instead for iconic celebrity portraits and hard-luck romantic narratives. However, now the artist feels the need to make a statement. “Aided by the media, politics has taken a nasty turn in the last decade and I firmly believe that this is one of the underlying causes of our nation’s current problems,” says D’Antuono.

“The Truth” will be on exhibit on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the South Plaza of Union Square Park at 14th Street in New York City.

    This is so low its hard to even describe how i feel about it .The jerk that painted this monstrosity should be ashamed of him or her self he has disgraced the art world as a whole . Obama is not the Christ maybe the anti-christ .You really dont expect the real world to believe a chicago politician could be without sin give me a break !

    Dear Captain America,almost ALL so-called "artists" are also rabid leftists that
    hate religion.Mockery is absolutely a huge ingredient of their shallow lives.They
    love to ridicule rural,small town dwelling,God-fearing,hard-working,apple pie-eating,
    shotgun owners kind of people that they graciously call REDNECKS.

    "People who cling to their guns and religion"...

    Who said that during the campaign?

    Is that red tie blood running down his chest, is his deordorant working?

    Is the curtains he is holding back a depiction of the veil in the Temple being torn apart by an earthquake when Jesus died?

    There's another one in Central Park; a sculpture of him riding on a donkey like Jesus did when he rode into Jerusalem.

    Since we can't verify his birth, now all he has to do is fake his death and come back to life. And all the world will wonder after the beast.

    God will not strive with man forever; those that shake their fist in the face of God, will someday be begging for the mountains to fall upon them. Rev 6: 15-17

    I've got to ask...why is it always "art" offensive to Christians? Why not art depicting him as the new Mohammed? Now, that would take gonads. Unfortunately this "artist" doesn't have any.
  • so true, I'd like to see some left-wing hippie do some Mohammed art. Something tells me they wouldn't dare cause that would be "raaaacist"

    Dear John,
    Cox and Forkum do a pretty good job.I'm surprised that they're still amongst the living.

    They really should have given him a white robe... the powder-blue blazer is SO unbecoming... ;)
  • I'm not impressed with the 'art'. It's kinda dumb, pretty cliche'd. If we can ignore people like this artist, they will quit trying to be controversial. Don't you think the guy did this to try to make a name for himself?

    the artist should be embarrassed.

    I'm very Catholic, but this in no way offends my religious sensibilities - why? Because I'm not a Muslim! Heh.



    Bah.

    I'm waiting to see the "Christian" Obama's take on this. The title of the painting "The Truth" may turn out to be the most ironic thing about it, if the real truth about Obama comes out the way I hope it does. Other than that, we have more important things to worry about than a painting.

    i like Obama, but that's just wrong.
  • What do you like about Obama?

  • When will America's stand up say this obserd??? This mockery of the Christian Faith is way over the age. To simply acept this and call it art shows where we are as a nation. America needs to stand up enough is enough

    "This mockery of the Christian Faith"

    Dear Drew Johnson,mocking Christians and Jews is Ok because we don't
    issue FATWAS against those who ridicule our faith,whereas to do the same
    to the muslims is quite another tale,my friend...

    The left-wingers HATE us with a passion and will do anything to humiliate
    people like us.
