THE CROSS OF OBAMA. The New York Times editors are reminding me of this from Mike Huckabee.

UPDATE: Andrew Morriss writes:

Since I suspect the NYT editors are not familiar with Christian imagery, they might not realize that this is not the best time of year to associate Obama with a cross ? we?re in the midst of Lent and still have the passion to come. The whole ?suffers, dies and descends to hell? part might be a bit of the Easter story they?d rather not associate with Obama right now. Plus he?s sort of in the Caesar/Pilate/Herod role right now as president (depending on how powerful one thinks the president is). Maybe Easter bunnies and chocolate would be a better theme ? I?d rather think of the health care plan as a free basket of chocolate brought by a magical animal than as something on which I am going to suffer and die to redeem the sins of others, even if the latter is a more accurate description.

Indeed.
