Friend or Foe?

Someone put together a kind of creepy fusion of Obama with Abe Lincoln.

And there has been some comparison: Whenever Obama's lack of experience comes up, some bobblehead will make the comparison with Lincoln's relative inexperience before taking office. Well, if you're going into the office with little to no experience, it helps if you're a Lincoln!

And then it dawned on me! What meme has gotten kicked around about Obama every few weeks? What was Mrs. Clinton beat up over a couple weeks ago when she talked about campaigning into June...like the year that Robert Kennedy was assassinated. How long can you look at that picture and not think: "Ford's Theater"?

So what do you think? Was the picture meant to flatter? ... overzealous admiration? Or subconscious association with Abraham, Martin and John?
And before the haters and the whiners show up: For the record, I hope he lives to be a hundred and eighty and passes away quietly in his sleep, in the arms of his wife, girlfriend or significant other! I'm just curious as to the mind set that puts together a picture such as that!

Update: Second creepy photo job, this one has the benefit of also being somewhat sacrilegious!

Note also the significance of what happened to this other fellow around 33 A.D.!

Hat tip to Gateway Pundit!

  1. Proof, This certainly ranks as Creepy Post du Jour. Obama as Jesus is just sacrilegious and Obama as Lincoln is just wrong on so many levels, not least of which is that Lincoln fought to keep the Union together during a civil war and Obama is a Marxist wolf in sheep's clothing; a trojan horse who will split the country using group politics.

  2. And yet, there's almost a little bit of Alfred E. Neuman in the composite as well! Heh.
