laughs
excellent piece of satire
A week ago in Internet time is like last century. Even so, it seemed worth putting up this video satire that Gerard Baker of the Times (of London) narrates and that was aired on Hannity and Colmes, the Fox News Channel show, last week. (I didn't see it until over the weekend.)
The satire, which uses a lot of footage from Obama's recent trip abroad, makes Sen. Barack Obama into a messianic figure called The Child, in much the way Jesus was the baby born in a manger who became The Messiah. It plays off the notion of Obamassiah, the charge made by critics that many of his followers have turned him almost into a divinity capable of far more than the usual presidential candidate.
The satire obviously means to dim some of the aura surrounding Obama. It's fairly funny in spots. Even some Obama supporters with a sense of humor might get a laugh or two from it.
