Wonkette: Indians Send Obama Terrifying Monkey God Statue For Good Luck

Oh jeepers! This is just what he needs - now he won't be Muslim, but Hindu - and with a crazy Christian Preacher for a mentor to boot.

In seriousness, it was a nice gesture.

Poor Barry. First he has to deal with the racists and their stupid monkey-based paraphernalia, and then he has to put up with speculation that he isn’t a Christian, and now some well-meaning Hindus have somehow rolled up all this terribleness into a single hilarious gift: a monkey-god idol for him to worship. This will go over beautifully with the Bitters!

Our tale begins in Mumbai, where a gentleman named Brij Mohan Bhama says he read a Time magazine article reporting that Barack Obama carries around a monkey charm for good luck.

“We have heard that he carries a small monkey charm in his pocket. So he is a devotee of Hanuman. That’s why we want to present him with this idol,” he said.

Somebody else speculates that the article just said he carried around a good luck charm, and that Mr. Bhama and his prayer group drew the natural conclusion that “he is a devotee of Hanuman.” The point is Barack Obama is being shipped a two-foot-tall polished bronze idol of a monkey, which he is sure to bring out at the next rally in order to scare the shit out of white voters everywhere.

1. My wife, a Yoga Teacher, has a Hanuman picture in her devotional area

2. Perhaps this line from the Mahabarata might work...

"I was born to destroy the destroyers, and I became your friend because I love mankind."

It seems to me that he might find that reassuring.

When nothing else seems right about mankind to me, I remember that despite our flaws, Krsna loves us.

3. Oh don't worry, Kali will mess up those idiots soon enough.

Only i hope Lord Shiva will not stop her this time.

7. Kali Ma!

Om krim
Sri Ma
Dakshina Kalika
Davi Svaha


We may need Her services before all this is through. As I understand it, Kali comes when people are stuck and refuse to change, but change needs to come. And perhaps the Lord Shiva will this time merely dance upon the dwarf of ignorance while She does Her work.

4. I thought maybe they sent him a statue of George Bush

before I opened this thread. I was wondering why Indians would be sending Obama some Republican National Committee campaign materials.

5. A wonderful gesture from them.

I can't wait to have a Prez that the rest of the world likes.

6. Getting a Hanuman statue is an honor

as He symbolizes devout service to That which is within. In the Ramayana, he helps Ram save his beloved, Sita. When Ram tries to reward him with money, Hanuman rejects it, tears open his chest, and shows Ram that Ram and Sita sit at His heart.
