Who\u2019s the <emphasize>artiste<\/emphasize>? &#8216;David Cordero, 24, made the sculpture for his senior show after noticing all the attention Obama has received since he first hinted he may run for the presidency.\u2019 Cordero said this: &#8216;All of this is a response to what I\u2019ve been witnessing and hearing, this idea that Barack is sort of a potential savior that might come and absolve the country of all its sins. In a lot of ways it\u2019s about caution in assigning all these inflated expectations on one individual, and expecting them to change something that many hands have shaped.\u2019 It\u2019s wearing Jesus robes and a neon blue halo. It looks like Barack Obama. This Chicago art school is where this thing was on display, an undergraduate student\u2019s papier-m&amp;acirc;ch&amp;eacute; sculpture as a messianic figure entitled &#8216;Blessing\u2019 went on display Saturday and it\u2019s caused quite a stir. <\/p>\n<p>Now, when I read what this guy said about his perception of Obama, I, of course, was reminded of me. How is it that I first attempted to explain this seemingly inexplicable appeal to Barack Obama? I said, &#8216;He is godlike to the godless.\u2019 I said it. He\u2019s godlike to the godless, and here comes this guy, David Cordero, with his papier-m&amp;acirc;ch&amp;eacute; sculpture of Obama, which is pretty much saying in more words the same thing that I said. <\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, that sculpture of Barack Obama as Jesus Christ has caused quite a stir and they\u2019ve taken the thing down because of controversy over it.
