The Karl Rove school of politics 2008 edition. Opponents press ideas of the "messiah Obama...descending from the heavens" professing to be savior of the american people and credit this to his campaign. This is an attempt to drive a wedge right in between evangelicals and widespread support for Obama. Now my recollection of the bible is a bit hazy but I vaguely recall that upon his arrival it will be the anti-christ who will claim to be christ. This undermines Obama's widespread appeal in the mind of the devout christian voter.

This is a bit of a stretch but a similar trangression in Islam would be the depiction/illustration of god in human form, its blasphemy. Obama fixtured amongst the likes of the holy is a trangression against the faith of practicing christians & evangelicals eventhough it is Sean Hannity who has christened him "the annointed one"
