Barack Obama’s open mockery of the Sign of the Cross​

By: Judi McLeod
November 22, 2012

‘Father Barack Obama‘ mocked the Sign of the Cross at the White House yesterday.

It was an open mockery of the Christian prayer that is accompanied by the immortal words used by peasants and kings over the centuries: “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”.

Obama, who is left-handed, made the sign of the cross with his left hand, which out of respect for the centuries-long Christian practice, no one ever does.

Obama’s left-handed sign of the cross was made over a gobbling turkey during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation Ceremony, that takes place at the White House every year shortly before Thanksgiving, having been resurrected by George H.W. Bush in 1989.

Obama departed from the usual “presidential pardon” granting the turkey a “special dispensation” in words as he twice made his left-handed Sign of the Cross.

There were lots of giggles from the two Obama daughters and lots of gobbling from the turkey recorded during the ceremony now on YouTube.

Clearly using his left hand for all to see, Obama made the Sign of the Cross backwards.

I give him a pass on that. You are reading too much into it.

He's left handed. What hand would you expect him to it with? You're just invoking superstition, a sin in itself.

so is his right hand broken..?
the man is nothing but a mockery

What difference does it make? You're the one making a mockery of Christianity. You'd have us go back to the Middle Ages with the fundamentalist Muslims. Prejudice against the left hand has no place in modern society.

good grief

Like CO2 is a pollutant? Like it's okay for people to vote DNC as many times as they can get away with? Like there are only 12 Million Illegals here? Like you get what you pay for? You got something there.

 

[Zoom-boing]

O. M. G!!

You're upset that he used his left hand but say nothing that he's doing this over a bunch of turkeys. He was joking around, the entire thing is a light-hearted event, he's not disrespecting anything. You folks who are 'offended' really need to grow a thicker skin, lighten up and get over it.

ftr, I think the whole 'pardoning turkeys' thing is just ridiculous, no matter who is in the WH. The kids get a kick out of it though.

Then what's your beef with the way he did it? He's left-handed. It's only natural that he'd do it that way. Good grief? You're the one focusing on trivia!

lying is worse than myths.


why are you lying?

He did it left-handed?

Jeez, people, come on.

This is a right-wing version of PC. Feigned indignation.

6:41 am? Steph got up early to bash our President

glad you're keeping track..

Wonder if liberals will ever get tired of making excuses for the failure that they elected.

 

[Truthmatters]

why are you lying about the obama record?

 

[Neurotika]

amazingly no one has mentioned that he also evoked nate silver during his turkey pardon..im sure there is some hidden blasphemy/conspiracy/the sky will fall..out of the fucking sky/digital satan there..

im sure of it !!!

 

[Stephanie]

I remember when they accused Bush of serving FAKE turkey when they showed a picture of him serving it in Iraq.

And then we had Palin and Turkey, we like to NEVER hear the end of THAT ONE..

If you call insulting the religion of the people he represents light hearted, just thankfully he didn't burn a Koran over it

Are you sure they weren't saying that Bush was a fake turkey?

 

[jknowgood]

why are you lying about the obama record?

Just admit you elected a failure, he has hurt and divided this great country. I mean I was never considered a racist till he got elected. I really don't hate obama, I hate the way he is destroying this great country.

First of all the sign of the cross is not a "Christian" thing it is a Catholic thing. As far as I know Obama isn't Catholic so why he would be making the sign of the cross apparently is to play to the religious which should really piss off the left but apparently they don't care because they know he is pretending. Second of all that isn't what I see Obama doing. He is making a sign that a priest would as he passes on a blessing.

In my opinion this is nothing about nothing. There is plenty wrong with the Obama administration this is nothing. In my opinion.

agree it is nothing about nothing...

he is not Catholic but he did attend Catholic school when in Indonesia and later in life, when he was a ''community organizer'' he worked for the Catholic Church....

I'd like to see him say allah akbar over a pig.

It's okay to be deliberately insulting but only to some religions.
