Did Obama perform a miracle in Tucson?

[Renew Deal]

It is being claimed that http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x193426
">a "miracle" took place when Congresswoman Giffords opened her eyes.

This happened when Obama was there. We already have it documented that President Obama http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=190184&mesg_id=190184">"acts Christ-like." If Obama did perform a miracle, he is one major step closer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonization">canonization.

Have political leaders been canonized before? I don't know that it matters.

1. Quick, get the Pope on the horn!

[louis-t]

2. He said he had just left.

[blondeatlast]

3. +1; and it's T-u-c-s-o-n. nt

[Puzzledtraveller]

4. ugh

I love our president, but deification even when tongue in cheek makes me queasy.

[spin]

5. Look, I like Obama and think he will be reelected ...

but I'm not going to bow at his feet and worship him.

He's a politician and a damn good one but he is not a miracle worker with a direct link to God. His greatest ability is his power to communicate.

The "miracle workers" in this case are the doctors and staff in the hospital.

[Tippy]

6. Obama had left the hospital room . her friends form Congress and the Speaker were with her

[svsuman23]

the President can do a lot of wonderful things...

But I would say it shows more of Congresswoman Giffords strength to fight.

[Renew Deal]

8. I agree

[RedCloud]

10. Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[svsuman23]

11. thanks!! :)

[aquart]

7. Pelosi was in the room, not Obama.

[HeeBGBz]

9. Puhleeze. Thats just what we need

Plays right into the righties belief that we worship the man. No.

[yellowcanine]

14. Uh - don't you think this just might be satire? If we can't laugh a bit about this stuff we might

as well give up. One can only cry so much.

[MattBaggins]

12. Really? Now we are attributing fairy tale powers to Obama?

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Is medicine capable of performing miracles regularly?

Quick get the pope on the horn...

I had issues with that crap when bush was in office...same here

[prolesunited]

15. I really hope you are joking

[lumberjack_jeff]

16. I can WALK!!1

In fairness, I always could, but this seems like a good opportunity to walk away from my keyboard.

[Renew Deal]

17. lol

:rofl:

[Broderick]

28. Chuckle!

[OHdem10]

18. No but God may have.

Obama merely reported.

[kestrel91316]

19. Oh, puhleeze. Crap like this just plays right into the hands of the hatemongers,

who love to claim that Obama's supporters "worship" him (which is patently false).

Mumbo jumbo. Leave it for the pope's people to discuss this.

[wryter2000]

20. It didn't happen when he was there

He never said it did. He was very clear that he'd left the room.

Of course, it wasn't a miracle.

I think we need to be careful to get this correct because if they RW catches us saying he was there when he wasn't, they'll use the mistake against us.

[Autumn]

21. Shit, I turned it off too soon. Did I miss him

walking on water or some crap like that?

In all reality your post makes me :puke:

[MilesColtrane]

22. You know, it's stuff like this that could set off some deranged individual.

Somewhere there's a person like Loughner pouring over his bible, reading about how the Antichrist will appear to perform miracles, and polishing his gun.

[Autumn]

24. Isn't there some old story about

about the antichrist getting a fatal head wound and surviving it? Seems I remember some wacky preacher saying that on TV.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

26. Revelations 13:3

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

Don't worry. I'm sure Pat Robertson's all over it.

[Autumn]

27. Ah there it is

well there we go.

[Ian David]

23. Alms for an ex-leper! n/t

[Little Star]

25. You gotta be kidding us! Good way to make Democrats look like fools!

Unrec cause that thought is over the top nonsense. :thumbsdown:

[Swede]

29. I think I saw an image of him in my toast this morning.

So,yes.
