As a Republican who works in New York City this sort of thing will be accepted easily. In fact many people will find it greatly amusing since many people here hate Christians. To me its blasphemy and outrageous. I'm living in the wrong state.
Ah yes, the old 'I'm a Christian I'm being opressed!!!!'. Soooo worn out. I think it's funny and if it's trying to create controversy then it's doing it's job. If everyone rolled their eyes at it and ignored it, it would go away.
Nobody hates Christians, isn't it 'hate the sin, love the sinner'? We all love you, we just don't like Christianity
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.
Here's just one from a quick search...
From worldnetdaily: Obama Referred to as Messiah
When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking." During the last Presidential debate, will Barack Obama denounce this most recent comment/endorsement made by Louis Farrakhan
Here's a couple more:
Through the last year many news sources have referred to Barack Obama as a Messiah or as near Deity [examples: Washington Post: Is Obama a (or the) Messiah? World Net Daily: Is Barack Obama the Messiah? Or The Messiah is Absolutely Speaking. Slate formed The Obama Messiah Watch. Townhall: Obama's Growing Messiah Complex. The British Press frankly refers to Obama as “The Messiah.”] Gary Lawrence, a forty-year political veteran and California-based pollster, gives his take on this trend in this article, which is his analysis and a reflection of his own opinion...

No, you're living in the right state, and you're not alone. New York isn't just for them, and never let them convince you that it is, because it's much more fun to get under their skin. I'll never leave NYC.
I'm a white Christian male. People here hate that, and when they try to talk to me about their nonsense I make them so angry they start to turn red in the face with pure rage. It can't be healthy for them. I enjoy that.
But where's Bo the puppy? I mean, c'mon, most artists who are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame know that puppies always get you a lot of attention.
Speaking of Bo the dog, I just love they chose the name Barrak Obama don't you?

So, in the past 24 hours, two different C-D posters have used statements made by Fidel Castro and Louis Farrakhan in an attempt (<---operative word) to prove their anti-liberal arguments. Interesting.
Who's next? One of you wingnuts gonna quote Kim Jong-il to back up your own beliefs? How 'bout Ahmadinejad? Putin?
“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”
"In God We Trust"
Or simply look at a calendar to see which holidays are national ones.
Then go live in another country, because this one is CHRISTIAN
Wrong. The majority of Americans are affiliated with some form of the Christian religion, but America is by no means entirely a Christian nation. Roughly 75,000,000 (that's 75 million) citizens are NOT Christian.

Did I say all Americans are Christian? Are all of the people in China Chinese? No. Everyone is welcome, and they can either conform or not conform to Christianity or they can be anything else that they want to be. That's their choice. But this is a Christian nation. Done. End of story. Case closed.
