That's a pretty audacious article. He really hasn't done a whole lot of anything.
Obama greater than Jesus
Danish editorial:
The U.S. president - the practical saviour of our times
He is provocative in insisting on an outstretched hand, where others only see animosity.
His tangible results in the short time that he has been active – are few and far between. His greatest results have been created with words and speeches – words that remain in the consciousness of their audience and have long-term effects.
He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions.
And no we are not thinking of Jesus Christ, whose birthday has just been celebrated - - but rather the President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama.
For some time now, comparisons between the two have been a tool of cynical opinion that quickly became fatigued of the rapture that Obama instilled prior to and after the presidential election last year.
From the start, Obama’s critics have claimed that his supporters have idolised him as a saviour, thus attempting to dismantle the concrete hope that Obama has represented for most Americans.
The idea was naturally that the comparison between Jesus and Obama – which is something that the critics developed themselves – would be comical, blasphemous, or both.
If such a comparison were to be made, it would, of course, inevitably be to Obama’s advantage.
Today, his historic Health Reform is being passed through the American Senate – a welfare policy breakthrough that several of his predecessors have been unable to manage.
Despite all the compromises, it has finally been possible to ensure something so fundamental, as the right of every American not to be financially shipwrecked when their health fails them. Add to that the biggest ever financial support package in America’s history, a major disarmament agreement and the quickest-ever re-establishment of American reputation.
On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few. At the same time, we have the wonderful parables about his life and deeds that we know from the New Testament, but which have been interpreted so differently over the past 2000 years that it is impossible to give an unequivocal result of his work.
Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game. But it is probably more meaningful to insist that with today’s domestic triumph, that he has already assured himself a place in the history books – a space he has good chances of expanding considerably in coming years.
Without, however, ever attaining the heavens....

Agree with the above 100%Originally Posted by BlackFlag
what is the point of this article other than to offend Christians? Unless it's being REALLY sarcastic.
We are Danish ..
If the title was Obama greater than Mohamed.....by now Danish flags and American Flags will be burning in more place than one.
"Hai guyz, some hack Danish version of Keith Olberman wrote an article, feel free to all have aneurysms rebutting it or claiming it proves Liberal media bias..."
What's the point. Really.
I think Obama is pretty great. But greater then Jesus? I don't know.
It's been a while since I read the bible, I don't remember if the Lord's measurements were listed there.
Does anyone know how tall He was? I mean, from a credible source?
Oh and the article is crap
Well excuse him for not holding a public office.On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few
...Christ...

If you want a respond to that question.
It's not an article, but an editorial.Oh and the article is crap
He has. He spending that dolla dolla bill ya'll.
It quite sad that all it took was two terms of Bush that the rest of the world is happy with Obama not doing anything and still declaring him a vast improvement. It going to take a long time to fix the damage done in the first half of the decade.
An Editorial is a type of article. So, it's an article
We should all suffer such humble beginnings. Two well educated parents, life with grandma in Hawaii... yep, humble indeed. He has had no want for anything his entire life.He comes from humble beginnings and defends the weak and vulnerable, because he can identify himself with their conditions.
