And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.-Luke 2:12
Wait is that baby Jesus? Nope! Its Obama right next to Baby Jesus and the lovely queen Michelle. A new savior to the world. A leader among leaders, the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
Joy to the World the fake prez has come to save the world.
I’m having fun right now but if this wasn’t so rediculous it would be taken serious. Italy and it’s many wood crafters have elected to put OBAMA and the Michelle in with baby Jesus to express their love for the future New World Order leader.
Not my choice, but hey, they can do what they want to the sacred image of Christs birth. Right? Read the rest of the story below from the blaze.com, I’m going to Supermart today and get me one before they sell out!
President Barack Obama, riding on the heels of his historic electoral victory this week, has another accomplishment to boot: He will be included, as a character, in traditional Italian nativity scenes in Naples this Christmas. No, we’re not joking.
The president is poised, in figurine form, to appear next to baby Jesus, other Biblical characters and numerous other politicians who are being infused into the traditional holiday story.
As noted, Obama isn’t the only contemporary figure created for inclusion in nativities. According to Euronews (see additional video here), Mitt Romney is also a newfound nativity character.
While one of the Obama designs comes complete with a crown, a depiction of the former Republican candidate comes with tears streaming down his face (i.e. a reaction to his electoral loss). KSEE-TV explains the fascinating development in detail:
Italian shopkeepers are now selling a new figurine for people to put in their nativity scenes. Shops selling nativity figurines are including miniature president Barack Obamas. Some of the figurines hold a sign that reads, “God bless America.” Craftspeople have been carving nativity scenes in Naples since the 19th century. The scenes include figurines of important people of the times.
This year, though, isn’t Obama’s first foray into the nativity figurine business. In 2008, the president and his wife, Michelle, also appeared in the un-traditional Italian displays.
Following the 2008 election, Reuters reported that the Obamas popped up “in Italian nativity scenes…alongside the baby Jesus and wise men.” At the time, the outlet continued:
The production of handmade figurines for nativity scenes is big business in this southern Italian city and has been for centuries.
But beyond the thousands of angel, sheep, Mary and Joseph figures filling market stalls before Christmas, craftsmen say Obama has become a top seller.
Tradition requires that the nativity scene be built up over time until Christmas Eve, when baby Jesus is put in the manger as the very last element of the display.
As always, figurine-makers provide a chance to choose a more light-hearted approach for the scene providing replicas of personalities who have made the news during the last year.
Not everyone is fond of this modern interpretation of the nativity, which also includes other world leaders beyond Obama. Some believe that it sullies the image and message behind the traditional Biblical story of Jesus’ birth.
“Something as beautiful as the traditional nativity scene shouldn’t be spoiled by these figurines of personalities and I don’t think children like them,” local Pasquale Oliva said back in 2008.

Christ’s birth was a magnificent event. His death was also very significant. Without Christ’s sacrificial ransom death, no one would ever be able to obtain everlasting life. John 3:16 states that God loved the world so much that He sent his only begotten son in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed… Christ’s birth is also recorded in the Bible. When you take a close look at that account, you will see that the details that are mentioned in the account are also not consistant with the traditional nativity scenes. For instance, the “wise men”who were led by the star were actually astrologers from the east. Matthew 2:1-16 shows us that the star led them to king Herod, who in turn sent them to the new “baby king” (secretely wanting the baby destroyed) by way of that star. Interesting to note that no one else but the three wise men saw that star. After they left from visiting Jesus, God’s angel warned Joseph to flee to Eghpt to safeguard the child. Note that the Bible account does not say that they found the babe Jesus in a manger, as customarily depicted in Christman art. When the astrologers arrived, Jesus and his parents were living in a house. As to Jesus’ age at that time, remember that, based on what Herod had learned from the astrologers, he decreed that all the boys in the district of Bethlehem two years of age and under were to be destroyed. Another issue is raised as regards, who sent these “maji” (practicers of majic)? The use of majic and looking for omens in the stars is clearly condemned by God in the Bible (Deuteronomy 18: 10-12). Why did no one else see the star? Was someone using these majic practicing astrologers in order to have baby Jesus destroyed? Who would do that? Satan would. Yet, the symbol of the star at the top of Christmas trees, and many times in the nativity scene is shown. Something to think about. And so the image of President Obama is no more innacurate as other parts of the scene.

Sorry about about the misspelling of “Magi” and “Magic”. But you still get the point.
