| Professor’s Book Hails ‘Apostle Barack,’ Compares Him to Jesus |
| 2012-11-07 |
| by a Florida A&M University professor who compares Jesus with Obama and says God told her in a dream to write it. Professor Barbara Thompson, its author, told the school’s student newspaper during a book signing Tuesday that the 220-page undertaking, largely a compilation of his speeches, was a result of divine inspiration: “Her son … was the impetus behind the book. After a bad accident, Barbara Thompson prayed for her son to be healed. After her son’s healing, she had a dream when the spirit of God spoke to her and told her to ‘go on a journey with apostle Barack.’ … Apostle, a leader with a new cause, is how Thompson defines Obama. “He walks the earth for a more equalized, more middle class and working poor society,” she said. She compared apostle Barack to apostles like Jesus and Martin Luther King Jr.” … (During her book signing event) she provided a complete breakdown of the good that has happened during the President’s 4-year term. Healthcare, the economy, education and federal initiatives interests are the ‘Good news’ from the apostle.” Wait for it … it gets a little nuttier than that. According to its description on Amazon.com, the book is: “… it is the intent of the author to utilize the materials contained in the speeches as a means of teaching Apostle Barack’s followers about him and guiding them towards understanding ‘politics as religion’ and ‘religion as politics.’ The manuscript would also serve as a guide for his followers – to unlock the answers – to creating and living in the reality of a middle class lifestyle that was so economically and ethically sound that it appeared to be ‘heaven here on earth.’ ” |

| #6 From an anthropological point of view she has it nailed. All through history the Shaman or the healer has been an important part of the group. The fact that they call them psychiatrists or climate scientists nowadays doesn't change the dynamic, especially to someone teaching African studies. And Obama with his tortured background fits the bill nicely to receive a divine calling. Just listen to his acceptance speech, this is a master class in modern day witch doctoring. |

| #4 Check out her college newspaper's article on the subject here. I imagine the volume was a vanity press edition... even Amazon doesn't carry it. |
