Caesar Posted August 9, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2009 "AUSTIN — Ginny McCallum, 43, who has been confined to a wheelchair for much of her adult life, came to hear presidential candidate Barack Obama speak at the University of Texas. Afterward she found herself in a wheelchair access breezeway as Obama and his entourage exited the arena. The candidate spotted her, came over, grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She found herself standing for the first time in eleven years" "Obama said as he laid hands on afflicted bodies. The people’s reactions were so joyous as to be almost frightening. They jumped and shouted and wept. Before they could thank or embrace the candidate he was well down the rope line healing others. Their excitement was lost in the general din of the crowd. Aides acknowledge that the phenomenon is occurring with greater frequency." Source and full article Has anyone else seen or read more on this phenomenon Obama has on the deaf, blind and handicapped?

aquatus1 Posted August 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Being that it is confined to the very religious (something very religious), I suspect that it nothing more than a phenomena of faith, a connection between the common moniker of "messiah" that he is given tongue-in-cheek but is taken way to seriously by those with little mental flexibility. If I were to put on my conspiracy cap, I would speculate that this is a grass-roots movement to make him appear as the false messiah, either in an effort to have him removed or an attempt to bring about judgement day.

LOL but they reported that his aides agreed with this phenomenon and that they don't talk about it much. its just a very strange article, almost like he has connections with Santa Claus.

AztecInca Posted August 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2009 KRS-One and Kim81 your comments were not necessary and are nothing more than flame-bait. Simply stick to the discussion at hand, it is obviously a joke and no one would seriously quote this when debating Obama's policies, speeches and actions.

Mr Honeybadger Posted August 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted August 11, 2009 LOL, that was funny. Get a sence of humor guys. Yeah. No kidding. The libs sure are getting thin-skinned. A little bit of criticism and now we're swastica wearing, racist, anti-American, tea-bagging birther thug nazis. It's almost comical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eqgumby Posted August 11, 2009 #17 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It's sarcasm and parody, like The Onion. That's why it's funny. They lampoon the extremists on all fronts, left right or indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamsSon Posted August 11, 2009 #18 Share Posted August 11, 2009 He's also planning to do his next press conference at the reflecting pool by the Lincoln Memorial where he will be walking on water as he also makes us all accept that ObamaCare will not only not cost the trillions of dollars the CBO says it will, but will instead turn us all into millionaires.

BlindMessiah Posted August 11, 2009 #21 Share Posted August 11, 2009 It seems to me that's mocking conservatives, not liberals or Obama. I took it that they were satirizing the right who have mockingly called him the messiah or insinuated that he's the anti-Christ. As someone else mentioned the site seems similar to Onion News Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
