To JB, “Hmmm…. I seem to recall the Messiah saying, “small-town America “clings to guns or religion”.”

I’m just asking…I never hear anyone on the left refer to Obama as the Messiah, even as they’re fainting in his presence. I only hear that from the right. And it’s always with the sneering tone the Romans used for the real Messiah.

I don’t think Obama has any claims to the Christhood, but I wonder if the one who does would have some objections to the metaphor you are making.
