Anyone else noticing a trend here……
BOSTON - A painting that features President Obama posed as Jesus Christ crucified on a cross is on display at a community college art gallery in Boston.
The painting by Michael D’Antuono is part of a larger exhibit called “Artists on the Stump – the Road to the White House 2012.” It’s on display at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery until Dec. 15th.
The painting is called “Truth” – and shows the president on the cross with his arms outstretched. A crown of thorns rests on his head.
It was originally supposed to debut nearly four years ago at New York City’s Union Square. But that event was cancelled due to public outrage.
“I always regretted cancelling my exhibit in New York because I feel my First Amendment rights should override someone’s hurt feelings,” D’Antuono told Fox News. “We should celebrate the fact that we live in a country where we are given the freedom to express ourselves.”
A spokesperson for the art gallery told Fox News there hasn’t been any criticism of the painting.
D’Antuono said the public exhibition “has afforded me the ability to right a wrong.”
He dismissed critics who called the display blasphemous.
“The crucifixion of the president was meant metaphorically,” he told Fox News. “My intent was not to compare him to Jesus.” (read more)

Careful. America is going to be so screwed if the boy gets a Monday holiday named for him.

Ohgoodgawd. It also means we have to worship SheOfTheKlingonBoobBelt. Forever.
Full disclosure: I trashed my own comment because when I re-viewed it after going away to eat some slices of salted, white turkey meat and came back–I realized that it could be horribly misunderstood.

“I think it is crucial to look at the story of Jesus, from the Roman point of view. What did the crucifixion of Jesus look like? It looked like, they had justly, through just processes gotten rid of a rabble rouser, a criminal and maintained the Roman peace, maintained stability and social order. But what did the Christians do with this? They turned it on its head, and they made this criminal, who the Romans had justly and rightly put to death, their hero and their God whom they worshiped. The Romans got that. The Romans understood political subversion when they heard it.”

Wow, another Kathy Bates “Misery,” look alike.
That makes three: Karen King, Candy Crowley & Angela Corey. It must be a DNA thing.
Just WTH makes this blasphemous idiot think obama’s been crucified about anything?
The braying jackass is getting any and every thing he wants.
And note that this steaming pile of donkey excrement is displaying this blasphemy IN A PUBLIC/GOVERMENT facility.
Where are the atheists? Why arebn’t they screaming?
What next? A picture of a baby jackass in a manger?
LOL! Your comment is 100% point on…
Atheists object to any depiction or hint of God in public places.
Ain’t that what this is?
BTW, maybe I need new glasses but I don’t see the cross. All I see is him making a grand entrance, or perhaps hanging on to the curtains indicating he refuses to leave the stage.
lollllllllllz
Notice the crown of thorns on his head.
Idk if true but read somewhere that the necktie is considered by Islamics to resemble the cross and that is why their wear nothing at neck or at most the bowtie.
The cross image is also seen in that O is wearing a lengthy, vertical, blood red tie in image above; his inner coat lining is red as well.
The necktie is tied with the same knot that the Knights used to cinch their saddles to the horse. Horse saddles are still tied with this knot.
The knot is used today to show fealty to the company and proclaims the wearer a business knight above the class of serfs that wear not the tie while working.
If I knew how, I’d Photoshop in one of those hooks used in the old cartoons to jerk someone off stage. That would be quite the finishing touch.
LOLOL!!!! Awesome, baldowl!!
Now that’s art!
Not only no cross, but he’s simpering, like a drama queen posing for an entrance, as if he will sashay on into the room, batting his eyelashes. Maybe the title means to imply that his theatrical antics have crucified the truth; that would fit.
Too bad Jamie Fox is a hell of a actor, however I will NEVER see any of his work ever again. And yes this is all about “the black man in charge”.
I would back off of getting angry and blasting it as being blasphemy. There is no need for comment other than “Our First Amendment In Action Today.”
The picture speaks for itself and critical editorial comments only detract from the most important message.
It’s the ultimate example of “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
Wonder if the cry of “1st amendment” would be loud if he was depicted as Mohammed?
