'Bible' Producers Deny Devil Represents Obama, Say Critics Seeking to 'Distract' from 'Beauty' of Story

Excerpt:

Last night's installment of The History Channel's The Bible featured a Moroccan actor who bears a passing resemblance to President Barack Obama, or so some online outlets insist.

The production's executive producers, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, quickly answered those who thought the casting of actor Mehdi Ouazzani was meant to slight the president. They released this statement today to refute those charges and defend their product.

“HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. HISTORY’s ‘The Bible’ is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history.”

From “The Bible” Executive Producers, Mark Burnett & Roma Downey:

“This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics– including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President.”

Rush Limbaugh Asks: ‘If Satan Had A Son, Would He Look Like Obama?’

Excerpt:

Playing off today’s meme that History Channel mini-series The Bible‘s version of the devil unintentionally looks like President Obama, Rush Limbaugh took to his radio show this afternoon to declare that if Satan had a son, he would surely look a lot like the president.

“Folks, it is uncanny,” Limbaugh said of the Bible actor’s “dead ringer” resemblance to the current president, before noting that the “media” is now looking into the background of the series’ producers, exploring whether the Obama look-alike was “on purpose” or not.

After cautioning that the series producers have said that the similarity in their actor to Obama is “ridiculous” and “utter nonsense,” Limbaugh noted that “there are people out there who are very much enjoying” the comparison.

“It does look very, very, very much like a figure we see daily in Washington, D.C.,” he noted, before hesitating to rehash a question he and his producers had bandied about before going on-the-air.

The Other Brother bedevils Obama

Exclusive: Ilana Mercer reveals incident when prez's face most reflected darkness

Excerpt:

“The Bible,” a popular new History Channel miniseries, is not my cup of tea – and not because of a lack of religiosity of which I am guilty.

This production may well work as a proselytizing device for the average reality-TV consumer. Pop-productions, courtesy of the star of “Touched by an Angel,” however, are less effective with those who’ve studied the Hebrew Bible – perhaps the greatest literary work ever – in the language in which it was written.

Interesting, though, are the recognizable facial features of the actor who plays the antagonist in the series.

James Poniewozik of Time magazine has pointed out, sarcastically, that “a raft of viewers – including noted biblical scholar Glenn Beck – claimed that the show’s version of Satan bore a striking resemblance to” Barack Obama.

Their dark foreboding excepted, the facial features of the actor who plays Satan in “The Bible” do resemble Obama’s.

Moroccan actor Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni is well cast in the role of “The Bible’s” Prince of Darkness. As expected, Mehdi Ouazanni as Satan looks sinister. However, while the contours of Ouazanni’s face bear a striking likeness to Obama’s, the president usually takes care to face Americans – a people who take everything at face value – sunny side up only.

He may be a man of many masks, but President Obama’s face is generally bereft of the pall of evil that blankets Beelzebub’s face in “The Bible.”

There was an exception big media failed to notice, because of the providential prism through which they view (and filter) Barack Obama.

Quite recently, Obama let the very darkness that blackens Ouazanni’s face in “The Bible” deform his own features. This happened during the National Prayer Breakfast, in the course of Dr. Ben Carson’s keynote address.

The breakfast took place before the Republicans commenced a “slobbering love affair” with Dr. Carson, an accomplished and affable African-American, who serves as director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Order lIana Mercer’s brilliant polemical work, “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa”

The “Shock Doc,” as Ben Carson has since been dubbed by media, launched his Republican political career by “diagnosing the spiritual condition of the country,” his words, at the National Prayer Breakfast, with an unsuspecting President Obama in attendance.

Needless to say, political sermonizing crept into Carson’s splendidly accessible narrative. The good doctor spoke stirringly against unanimity of speech and thought (political correctness) and for a return to a unity of purpose to be found in the country’s founding principles.

Was anyone watching the president’s face during The Other Brother’s Prayer-Breakfast remarks? Well before Dr. Carson addressed the collapse of other “pinnacle nations” before America, through “moral decay” and “fiscal irresponsibility,” an ugly expression enveloped the president’s features, Dorian-Gray style. See for yourself.

The more uplifting, inspiring and inclusive Dr. Carson’s message grew, the more ominous Obama’s face became.
