Did Al Sharpton compare Obama to Jesus?

“The story of Jesus on the cross,” he said over the airwaves. “No matter what they humiliated him with. No matter how they mocked him he took it, because he knew he could rise. And the story of Easter and my message for this Easter session is no matter what unearned suffering you go through, that if you know you can rise above it, don’t become like the diseases that you fight.”
“As I looked at President Obama at our convention last Friday where all he took he’s been able to rise politically again,” he continued. “I’m not comparing him to Jesus, but I am saying that to every crucifixion there is a resurrection for those that believe.”

I sort of see what he's trying to say but it would only make sense from the point of view of those of you that think Obama is really out there sincerely trying to take a stand for what is right, and sticking his neck out to push for a better world regardless of the consequences. But I don't see it that way at all. I see him up there playing ball with the elites, pushing for the status quo, power grabbing, using wedge issues and doing anything he can to manipulate the most naive people out there and on top of that, a media that bends over backwards to protect him.

Damn
