How similar is Barack Obama to Jesus Christ?

At a Lebanon, VA campaign event Obama was introduced by Cecil Roberts, head of the United Mine Workers of America. Roberts defended Obama's community organizer experience and said Jesus was also a community organizer. Is Barack Obama similar to Jesus?

    Maybe in his own mind.

    Don't distort things: It's not how similar Obama is to Jesus Christ, but how similar (and therefore valuable) community organizing is to what Jesus Christ did--versus holding a government post or just being meaningless.

    Here are links to some really greats articles (including one in the National Catholic Weekly and one by a Disciples of Christ pastor) on this topic.

    I can see the connection. What are we here for anyway? I've been told that we're here to do good in the world to whatever extent we can. Certainly promoting a few simple advantages for the disadvantage is 'doing good'. Rabbi Hilllel a few hundred years ago posed the question...."If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I an only for myself, what good am I?" l have to give Sen. Obama a passing grade for good works. Jesus should get at least a solid 'B'. I'll give the Jesus freak right an 'F'.....they obviously don't get the concept!

    positively. Obama by no skill fairly believed in Bush's Wall highway bailout, so he diverted the money to his cadre of Italian scientist pals for the only purpose of changing the ratty previous Shroud with a sparkling, new one that should bear the pains of public exhibit. this is why Goldman Sachs and AIG collapsed and the USA is interior the 2nd great melancholy on the instant. Oh, wait, this isn't fairly proper....

    No one is like Jesus Christ.

    But Barack Obama is probably closer than John McCain is. LOL!

    Neither will be president of the United States.....Jesus would make a fine president by the way.

    David Koresh was a "community organizer" too, how close was he to Jesus? Some would say Hitler was too..... How anyone can compare Obama to Jesus is beyond me.

    It was in response to Palin stating that community organizers don`t have real responsibilities.

    Obama is closer than John McCain who disrespects veterans and women.
