Just in time for Lent and the run-up to Easter Sunday, this “illustration by Nola Lopez, photograph by Damon Winter” of Obama the Savior ran yesterday in the New York Times’s “Week in Review” section yesterday, edited by Sam “The Death of Conservatism” Tanenhaus. Be sure to click on this link and check out the picture.
Luckily, there’s no need for anyone to question which side of the left-right divide Tanenhaus is on:
Here’s his praise for (gasp!) Nixon — as a liberal — and for Obama being “at the center of American identity,” and for his “tremendous patriotism.”
With friends like this, conservatives really don’t need enemies, even at the New York Times, do they?
Bonus question: doesn’t the blending of the Christian cross and the image of the White House in the illustration violate the separation of church and state, against which the Times is otherwise adamantly against?
The floor is now open for learned interpretation/exegesis.

I have nothing to say…. these lefties think that dissension is just TOWARDS Bush….
Okay, so this guy is supposedly a "conservative" as defined by the New York Traitors, er, um, Times. Cripes, no wonder they are so screwed up in that place!
I suppose Sam equates the slime factor with political acumen.
That's the only explanation for his analysis.
He's going to love the administration of Barack "Chicago Machine" Obama.

Obama … “tremendous patriotism ” …
Yeah … and Michelle is proud of this country too.
Gotta love those Jesus freaks at TIME. Isn't it just great how they have stuck up for Christian values over the years? I remember their strong push against Roe v. Wade and their support of Prop 8 in California. I'm so glad that at least one major outlet is defending traditional marriage and making sure that we are allowed to keep prayer in the classroom and "under God" in the pledge of allegiance. I'm kind of surprised the atheists, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, and others haven't taken them down already. Oh wait, I guess I'm thinking of WORLD. TIME must have decided to replace Jesus with Obama and start worshipping him.
I wonder if the Times has seen the bumber sticker that reads: "Jesus is coming, and boy is He pissed!"
Beware of men like Tanehaus bearing gifts. He says Clinton was skilled at retailed politics…..Well this clown has the tail part right.
They are not referencing Jesus in any way. Obama IS THE MESSIAH! He has come!!! We are all to bow down and worship him. And to follow his every direction.
two liberals chatting. What do you expect?
This crooss/halo photo ain't no subliminal suggestion, folks; it's a blatant demand that we are all supposed to bow down to Obama the magnificent, the all-knowing, the omnipotent One. Wait a minute!!! Perhaps I'm thinking of the Wizard of Ozama……..
there is nothing more to read, watch or listen to. these people need to be destroyed. hit them in their wallets and spit on those who still have their hands out. punish those who put this pos in power. i know no one who elected this f-up that is willing and able to defend him. please keep smoking mr. president.

Sam Tanenhaus has no idea what he's talking about. Someone should tell him.

Merlot and Big sites makes me only get upset…
Someone fainted during his speech in Ohio today. He is obviously Teh One.
Sam Tanenhaus has his finger on the pulse of nothing but his Obama-loving beating heart…
…with Tanenhaus and David Brooks you have two middle-aged squishes with a crush on the cool new guy in school…
In America today, Christans, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, ect are all free to worship open and in public.__So long as they all worship Obama.____Didnt MSNBC say he's kinda like god?__Unbelievable! Why did they have to say kinda?
You would have thought they would have realized they have hit a saturation point with O being "The One'.. This kind of crap will only fly back in their faces…me….I'll just sit here and work and wait for that moment!
Sam Tannenhaus is so out to lunch, I lost mine while listening to his drivil…
No wonder the" OldGreyTitanic" is listing so badly…
What a pair of pathetic losers.
