The religious language and iconography being used to describe President Barack Obama is certainly over-the-top. Newsweek may not be the respectable publication it once was in many people’s eyes, but its shameless fawning over this elected man is simply ridiculous.

Comment below: what do you think about the religious phrasing and imagery that is sometimes used to describe the president by the mainstream media? Are they being self-consciously ironic or are they actually that intoxicated with the nation’s figurehead?
