from the article:

The painting by New York-based artist by Michael D’Antuono is titled "The Truth" and features Obama with a crown of thorns on his head, in a position that is reminiscent of the crucifixion.

Oh no, not another chapter for the novel / bible.
In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

Looks more like Michael Jackson than Jesus, imo.

Is it more offensive to offend the president of 300,000,000 people or the religious focus of nearly 40% of the world?  If you use logic this painting is actually more offensive than the obama bobblehead in urine.

Pot stirred.  Go!

I am not a religious follower, so its no offense to me personally, but it does show the difference in the religious cults of our world.
I would like to see  Michael D`antuano do one of mohammed, and see how many museums put it up without having a death thread on their door step before they can say "can you just straighten it up a little, its wonky"

This is offensive to Christians, there is no way Jesus would have made the exact same speech again to be re elected. lol (Yes people are that stupid they fell for it twice)

Don't really care what you think about my grammar.  If you don't like it I strongly suggest that you not read it.

i think you have missed a ( , ) somewhere, or is it an ( , )? either way, i understood what you meant, it really was not rocket science to decipher. :tu:
