The narrator of this video has misunderstood and misrepresented all of his talking-points. And I know this guy's voice from other anti-Christian smear campaigns.

...It's satire, he's not making any points, he's just making fun of the propaganda our presidential candidates make up all the time, he's not attacking Jesus.

Jesus could not run for president of the United States, since He was born in Judea (or was it Israel ... ?).

We could amend the Constitution to let dead people run.

Sure. The American constitution is elastic enough to accomodate all kinds of bullsh*t.

No, I think he's attacking Jesus. I'm not stupid.

Sounds like instead of likening Obama to Jesus they're likening Jesus to Obama.

Whott a tweeest!!

I think he's safe on that, he took it far enough off the rail that its a complete and obvious joke. Not sure even a high school anarchist could take it literally.

The talking points in the video as well point the commentator out as a likely conservative.

Well, for better or worse he wasn't born a United States citizen, so no odds of that one ever coming to fruition.

He attacks Jesus and Christianity in his other videos, but in this one he's attacking the way our candidates can misrepresent what the other candidate is saying and use it in advertisements for their campaigns. For example in one of McCain's ads he says Obama is teaching children about sex when in reality all Obama was saying was he wanted to educate children about what's 'good touch' and 'bad touch', not sex. He was just getting at the way they'd probably do it even if Jesus ran.
