No way. Liberals think he's much greater than Jesus ever was. I think they prefer him drawn more like Stalin.

Doesn't have to be Stalin. Any corporate fascist will do.

Point to some proof of your idiotic statement.

The only people to call him "messiah" are wingnuts hoping against hope that we Obama supporters might be embarrassed. They were so wrong. We think that name is funny.

And the painting is likely mocking the idiot wingnuts who gave him that name, and who are now pestering everybody with their trivial complaints.

I think the artist is torn between needing to jumpstart his/her failed career with something this edgy, combined with the delusion that Obama is somehow being "crucified" by tea party protestors and the GOP congresspeople.

Exactly. Wingnuts are so blinded by hate, rhetoric and propaganda, that they fail to realize that the painting is making fun of them and their hate, rhetoric and propaganda.

I've never heard a Democrat refer to Obama as The Messiah or The Chosen One or The King or whatever else. Those (idiotic) sentiments come from only the Republicans who're upset that their party is slowly (but surely) fading into irrellevancy. How sad for them. (Not.)
