CONSERVATIVE SENATORS COMPARE BARACK OBAMA TO THE DEVIL

With the upcoming gubernatorial elections this November and the 2012 presidential election inching ever closer, Republicans have been firing criticisms at Barack Obama’s administration in an attempt to label him and the Democratic party as ineffective. They have tried to win the public’s opinion -- in which they’ve found success in lowering the country’s satisfaction of his job -- by comparing him to Jimmy Carter (the largely ineffective one term president), Socialists (like Stalin and Lenin), and even fascists like Hitler. A few conservative senators have amped up criticisms of late by comparing him to the Devil. Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) compared Obama to Lucifer because his policies are a lot like those of the King of the Damned. “Obama is a deviant, a rebel, from the preceding status quo. In the same way Lucifer rejected God, Obama rejected George W. Bush.” Leading Republican senator Mitch McConnell backed up Johanns controversial statement by saying that Obama’s clemency with regards to gay rights, abortion and stem-cell research are also viewpoints that Mephistopheles would endorse. “The more you look at Obama and Satan, the more these two are interlaced,” McConnell adds, “The facts are there.” More and more conservative senators, vehemently against universal health care and social welfare programs that would benefit underprivileged people, are going on media blitzes to compare the selfish, evil, and arrogant Obama to the Prince of Darkness. The backlash from Obama and chief Democrats in Washington has been harsh. Joe Biden has released a press statement saying that “the next motherfucking big mouth to knock Rackie, will see a Scranton punch right to the jaw.” He would not return The Soothsayer’s calls.
