As Seen at the Dem Convention: The Calendar That Uses John 3:16 in Reference to Obama
One of the knocks on the GOP convention was that the “swag” — the kitschy stuff available in tote bags, at booths, and being handed out randomly — was lacking, boring even. Well, it looks like vendors at the Democratic convention are going to try and beat Republicans in that category. Case in point: the Barack Obama calendar that includes a John 3:16 reference to the president.
Slate writer Dave Weigel captured a picture of the iconic scripture plastered over an image of Obama and his birth certificate. The picture is the August “centerfold” so to speak, since Obama’s birthday is August 4th, and starts with the words “Heaven sent”:
So what is the calendar? It’s called the “Keep the Dream” calendar by James Hickman. Here he is outside Tyler Perry’s studio in March:
We could explain, but we’ll let him:
Still unsure? The calendar’s website explains:
Inspired by his dedication to excellence and deep commitment to the education of African American people, James Hickman begins his newest 2013 sixteen month calendar. With its beautifully designed cover, it remains versatile enough to use for office, school classroom, library reference, or Home. The predecessor to this innovative product was the “2009 Barack Obama-It’s Been A Long Time Coming” wall calendar that sold over 1 million copies bring widely acclaimed as the hottest, best selling calendar.
Keep The Dream calendar is packed with “well known” and “little known” African American History facts that can be used for a small dose of daily, personal inspirations, it can also be used as a daily treasure trove of impact African American History facts plus the “HBUC” that you can share with friends and loved ones.
And don’t worry, there’s another video that thumbs through the calendar:
“To be clear this is not official campaign merchandise,” the Weekly Standard notes, “but it pretty clearly speaks to the fact the Obama cult of personality is going strong.”
In case you’re wondering, the calendar is currently on sale for $10.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 12:35pmI think they had a typo. The bible verse should have been James 3:16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. Fits Obama much better than John 3:16!!!

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 4:19pmHey MomRules, kinda funny you should say that since Romney’s church was founded on the belief that God and Jesus only care for Mormons. Quoted below:
” I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me…..When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, ….One of them spake unto me, callin me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him….I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right….and which I should join….I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt…. Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith-History 1:17-19″
So uhhhh who was that again that’s involved in a cult?

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 4:36pmIt’s a good thing I don’t have to be concerned with John 3:16 getting used to sway people to believe in Obama, because it doesn’t sway people to believe in Jesus either.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 11:57amYep Barber, I have been telling people that I think we are in the End Times and being called nutty is mild to some of the derision I have faced. Look at world events, the rise and spread of Islam, the absolute hatred of Israel worldwide, the escalation and acceptance of all deviance and the persecution of Christians and Jews………….etc.
Then there is Obama. A mystery man who promotes Islam, homosexuality, abortion and late term murder of born alive babies, communism and racial hatred. Obama is a scary man and now there are those that equate him with Jesus. Even scarier.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 12:35pmIslam is pushing the end times to happen, as it is something they want to have, and the Anti-Christ is their prophet which brings them to glory. Does this fit, given the Muslim prayers to start the DNC? If this is tied in with the Georgia Guidestones, we won’t need jobs as one of the goals is to reduce the WORLD POPULATION to 500,000,000 as the only sustainable number of people that can inhabit the earth.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 4:00pmGlad to see people are seeing the light. I don’t believe Obama to be the Anti-Christ but we are watching biblical end times prophecy unfold. It is all written in black and white in Revelations. Obama is simply a pawn being controlled by satan along with those surrounding him to bring about the demise of the Israel. But here is a little hint. God wins!!! “So it has been written so it shall be done.”

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 4:40pmThis latest stunt REALLY ticks me off. Not only is it blasphemy comparing this evil buffoon to Christ, it is ridiculous that they even have anything Biblical in the calendar since most lefties are Godless atheists. It has to be in there as a mockery to Christianity, because no Obama voter would even give a flip about John 3:16 in real like.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 7:17pmDidn’t Paul tell us that in the last days men would call good evil and evil good. Obama stands for everything against mans liberty given to him from God which is freedom to chose…God or the things of this world which are Satans. Satan has always maintained someone in position to be tapped and placed into the role of the anti-christ. Lil anti-christs have come and gone, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol pot, Saddam etc. But they lacked something that the Bible said the anti-christ would be able to do and that would be to appeal to all men and women, to be all things to all men, to present peace, prosperity, world security…in other words be able to give it all to us but we’d be required to give something in return and that would be an allegiance. Soon the world will tire of politics and government squabbles, soon they will demand someone to clear all this away and free the world by placing it under one government rule….no more flags, borders, cash, old school ways of doing business…we are almost there. The EU leaders spoke just recently of having one figure among them to lead the EU. Daniel speaks of the Ten Kings giving their power over to the One who rises up among them. The US president is the defactor leader of the free world…we already know that. He might be tapped for the job as the only person…or nation strong enough to provide the leaderships required to usher in the new world order as Kissinger likes to say. Its coming folks and its not 20-30 years away.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 7:24pmThe people that make up the democrat party hate the living creator God, as do all their elected officials in the nation, with visceral aggressive hateful and blasphemous behavior that reveals their core character; a moral character so vile that they blaspheme the Father and the Son. How long will God tolerate by His grace a people of a nation who elect those who hate Him so, which also means that those who vote for them do also, withhold judgment on that people and nation? The answer that question only God knows and now that Obama and his government and his democrat party have officially donned the Judas Mantle and abandoned Israel to it’s enemies our judgement may come very soon as the song says it may be “Blowin in the Wind.”

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 11:08amSatan uses many people and situations to mock God why would Obama not be used? Obama’s background is from a marxist youth training , a hippie Mother who attended the only communist high school in America on Mercer Island, Washington, a grandfather and grandmother who were proud of their hippie daughter who married several men and slept with several more. God has never been a part of Obama’s life. In Chicago he attended Jeremiah Wright’s Black Separationist Church which denigrated whites and America. He went there only for the introductions to black Chicago power.

Posted on September 3, 2012 at 11:06amI have another scripture for people who quote the Lord’s words and yet do not obey them.
“I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. One way ticket to heaven through the Son of Man.
John 14:6 This means that all false religions will be destroyed, that do not represent the True God and Creator. Where does this leave the Democrat party who supports abortion, gay marriage, and lies against their neighbors?
VI. Thou shalt not Kill…Abortion.
IX. Thou Shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbors. lying
X. Thou shalt not covet any thing that is thy neighbor’s. Taking people’s health care away.
Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are his delight.

Stupid people who are not informed and don’t really care to be. Three reasons I heard that they are voting for Obama #1 Fox news lies, #2 Obama needs more time to fix what Bush did #3 Romney is too rich to understand the average American. We may not get Obama out in Nov. with views like this. These people do not want to look further.

Then they can start wearing their brown shirts, their jack boots, their spiffy Che berets, and maybe top it off with a nice long, belted overcoat. The Obama Cult members would certainly want to look as nicely dressed as Dear Leader always does.
