When Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, said that when Barack Obama speaks the Messiah is absolutely speaking, he was wrong. When Christians and talk radio personalities call Obama “The Messiah” in jest or sarcasm, they are wrong as well. Barack Obama is not the Messiah. Saying so, in any context, in my opinion, is disrespectful to the true Messiah who sacrificed his life for the salvation of mankind. Farrakhan’s labeling of Obama as the Messiah is not an isolated innocent. A google search for the words Obama Messiah generates 3,380,000 Results. Here are a few
• Obama’s triumphal entry
• Rush Limbaugh’s constant referral to Obama as Messiah is wrong as well.
• Rush also has played the parody song I am Barack, I’m the Messiah
• And there’s even these sites Obama Messiah and Obama For Messiah.
