Jesus watch over Obama family

[nmbluesky]

Obama family tour the Christ the Redeemer Statue on Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro

[DURHAM D]

1. I have always found that thing garish.

The Obama family is lovely, however.

[Clio the Leo]

4. am always reminded of Isaiah 53....

.... when I see Christ projected in various forms of art.

he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Now JESUS Obama, THAT's fun...

6. Wow, you really posted that.

[RichGirl]

16. Interesting....

Jesus crucified by his own people. Obama is a democrat, crucified by democrats.

18. LOL! That was awesome! Yet very SAD!

I posted a video yesterday of Obama playing soccer with some kids in Brazil & people were blasting him for it or just coming to a "feel good" video to piss on it! One would think this was the Free Republic or something like it!

2. Glorious image.

3. Who would Jesus bomb?

[Clio the Leo]

5. If pitched some pigs off of a cliff one time....

.... true story. Look it up.

[Duende azul]

9. Wow, crazy story.

That Jesus was no sissy.
But still I wonder what you want to express by pointing to that story.
Can you clarify?

[Clio the Leo]

13. That Jesus was no sissy. ;-)

7. So the Obama family goes and takes a look at one of Rio de Janeiro's most well-known landmarks.

The right-wing spewers will add this onto their "Obama thinks he is the Messiah" spiel. It's probably happening even as we speak.

10. eek, that thing is kitsch.

why would anyone build such a loutish thing?

[Arugula Latte]

11. That statue is kinda creepy.

But, if I were in Rio I'd probably go see it, too.

[Clio the Leo]

12. the view there is supposed to be amazing....

.... I'd use that as my excuse.

[Arugula Latte]

14. Yeah. You can't really go to Rio and then miss that view.

...Jesus or not. :)

[Travelman]

19. "I can see my house from here!"

Couldn't resist. :rofl:

[Meshuga]

27. The view is amazing indeed

Especially during the day.

[Metric System]

15. I first saw that statue in a Janet Jackson video. Random.

[hedgehog]

20. I think most tourists in Rio go up to see the statue. However,

attaching meaning to a juxtaposition of the President and objects or lighting effects in a photograph makes me nervous.

[CreekDog]

21. He was right to visit and I certainly would --but this thread is kind of creepy

[DevonRex]

22. You mean the part where folks are accused of being cult members

because they think the picture is cool?

[CreekDog]

23. no, and thinking the picture is "cool" is no big deal

it's the ones that go beyond that. :hi:

[DevonRex]

24. I read them as tongue-in-cheek, sort of making fun of the idea

that supporters think he's the messiah or something. But what you've said is cool. :hi:

[8 track mind]

25. Those kids sure are growing up fast. n/t

[Arkana]

26. Jesus wants a brohug.

[Swede]

28. "I once caught a fish this big"

:shrug:

[Mimosa]

29. The statue is one of the great modern works of art in the world as well as a landmark.

And the photo of the Obama family there is beautiful.

[Beacool]

30. It is a very nice pic.

I don't see anything creepy about the statue of Jesus. Lord knows the world can use all the blessings it can get.
