Vice President Joe Biden teased the president about his alleged messiah complex at Saturday night's Gridiron dinner:

"He can't be here tonight, because he's busy getting ready for Easter," Biden told the crowd, "He thinks it's about him."

During the presidential campaign, John McCain's ad ridiculing Obama as savior (above) caused an uproar among some Christian Obama supporters, who said the spot used evangelical code to portray the Democratic nominee as the anti-Christ.

If Obama will let in the next four or maybe eight years christians be christians, muslims be muslims and jews be jews and if he will show that he is a philantrop there will be nobody anymore who will fear that he could be the antichrist. The size of his charisma could have really created fear in certain groups of the population. Not only in the jewish population. He knew it and that was why he wanted a discussion with mccain in a church during their campaigns. Everbody thought that obama had lost that discussion. But for Obama the discussion in that church was never about wining it was just about proving to the public that nobody should be afraid of his charisma and that he achieved.
