Glory Hallelujah! Michelle Obama compares Barack to God or saviour? Via Daniel Halper at the Weekly Standard Blog:
Michelle Obama made a remarkable claim when talking up her husband, President Barack Obama, at a campaign event earlier today in Nashville, Tennessee.
"I am so in," Michelle Obama said toward the end of her remarks. "I am going to be working so hard. We have an amazing story to tell. This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light."
The crowd of nearly 450 folks applauded as the first lady likened her husband to a Jesus-like figure.
In the book of Matthew, we read, "the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up." (Matthew 4:16) The phrase is used to describe the words Jesus preached.
In Micah, light, however, is a reference to God's words. "Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me," it says in Micah 7:8.
Either way, in religious terms, light is used to denote the true path, presented either by God or a savior. Or by Barack Obama.
Why are we not surprised that this BS is starting up again?

Actually, she has a point. Before Obama (BO), we were in the darkness as far as not understanding how bad progressivism was; thanks to him, we're enlightened.

I guess a crowd of 450 was considered too small to pull the old fake fainting trick.

I can't even respond to this, Debbie.......this is beyond imagination. First, she was never proud of America till HER HUSBAND and now it's HER HUSBAND bringing us out of the light.
My God, does their hubris EVER END?
The other comments are terrific; so true.

DELUSIONAL - that is the only word to describe this people. Now will they get the hell out of our country, along with their minions. Or they could take the Jim Jones path.

Narcissism isn't just limited to Nobama; his spouse is riddled with it as well.

AMEN!!! Right on sister! Obama is the Messiah! Obama is G-d! Obama can walk on soil!
I can assure everyone that Barack Hussein Obama is not the Messiah, is not G-d, is not even a decent human being.
Barack Hussein Obama is the worst human being on the planet.
