Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise

If there is any doubt that some people earnestly identify our current president, Barack Obama, with the promised Messiah who saves the world from sin, death, and penury, that doubt was removed by this advertisement in Sunday's Charlottesville Daily Progress (p.

    This is clearly a negative comment on Obama, complete with black eclipse moving away revealing the white sun. This is, in fact, a commentary about those who would deify Obama, not an attempt to do so.

    And the hackneyed type treatment sucks, too.
