Obama and his Obamacare
Make Way for the Healthcare `Messiah’
By Judi McLeod Friday, March 19, 2010
It would never be gratifying enough for him to push America over the cliff on March 21, 2010, just one week before Palm Sunday. In unloading his HealthCare on the American population just before Palm Sunday, President Barack Obama is trying to write himself into real time as The Messiah.

A no-vote, deemed-into-reality Health Bill was bad enough before Obama “borrowed” the most meaningful symbolism of the Judeo Christian world.



The arrogance of using the symbolism of Palm Sunday as his HealthCare showcase speaks volumes about Barry Soetero’s massive insecurity, an insecurity his just-as-insecure wife and self-centered boss woman Valerie Jarrett can’t keep propped up to healthier levels.

On `Obama Has An Ego Day’, other than the courage and the decency to do the right thing, all he’s missing is the donkey, though at least figuratively speaking, either Pelosi or Reid could easily fill in as the #####.

Supplanting himself as The Messiah and making his Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem is more than 2,000 years too late.

In Christianity, Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week and the Sunday before Easter, commemorating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

No one, not even Vice President Joe Biden can possibly miss the symbolism of the debut of ObamaCare one week before Palm Sunday.

“...In the late Middle Ages, this was one of the most vivid festivals of the year.” (Answers.com). “Before Mass, the priests blessed `palms’ (twigs of sallow, box or yew, which the congregation carried in procession and later into the house. During Mass, people made crosses, either from their `palms’ or from sticks and string they had brought to the church; these too were blessed and later taken home to ward off evil.” (Duffy, 1992:23-7).

Palm Sunday had meaning, too, in the secular world. “Echoes remained in the secular folk custom of `going-a-palming’; common from the 18th century until the mid-19th century. Groups of young people went into the woods to collect the catkin-bearing hazel and sallow to decorate their homes and bring luck for the year, and to wear in their buttonholes. In some places, those gathering `palms’ then headed for a prominent hill, to dance and hold sports, eat figs and cakes, and drink sugared water, and was held to encourage drunkenness, brawling and immorality; This caused annoyance to landowners whose hedges and woods were invaded. It was discouraged by the later Victorian gentry.”

For all of those who feel the pain of the Traveling Obama Show, it is not the end but only the beginning.

Barry Soetoro may have been able to recreate his entire image in a self serving book, but history is there to prove that no one has ever been able to successfully rewrite the Script.

In a world where truth is getting to be as rare as political altruism, the change of We the People will follow ObamaCare.

After Healthcare passage, Obama will awaken in time for Holy Week as the same old Barry-cum Barack.

And on the Easter Sunday, millions of people will be saying, from the sincerity of their very souls: “Christ is risen” and hearing back “He has risen indeed.”

After Easter, those same millions will be finding the ways to repeal ObamaCare. For the real battle will have just begun.
