I love how apologists say "it was a metaphor". As if they are speaking for the retard himself. When he goes on public television and says it was a metaphor, I'll believe it.

Holy crap
Here is the entire quote...

"I saw God before me," he said, "because I saw this smile that a million people have seen around the world.

Quit posting half truths like this is some cable news channel or some political blog. Which is where you obviously got that ridiculous title.

The real title of the AP story is:
France gets its Obama moment

I think everyone pretty much knows that it's a metaphor.... although he really doesn't deserve that. What has he done besides raise cigarette prices and try to be best buds with the terrorists??

It's also pretty pathetic that a couple of posters here are trying to draw a parallel between Bush calling himself the decider (he decides what to do like any executive) and Soetoro being proclaimed as a god. You know what type see nothing wrong with holding politicians up as deities? The same kind of people who viewed their leaders as deities in Italy and Germany in the 1930s and 40s, China in the 50s and 60s, Cambodia in the 70s, and North Korea today. It is truly frightening when a nation's leader is presented as a deity and the response from so many people is "yeah, and your point is?"

Context, people, context. I know it's hard for you right winger to grasp the concept, but if you try realllly hard, you might catch on some day.

I agree that the "decider" argument is weak. He is/was the decider.

It's also weak to take metaphors literally in an attempt to validate personal attacks.
