It seems Barack Obama thinks he is no mere mortal. Either that, or he took that November 2010 Newsweek magazine cover just a little too seriously. (More on that in a minute.)
On Monday, Obama declared on Twitter that he was set to “bend the arc of the moral universe.” How? Apparently by signing executive orders on gay rights…
"We’re here today to do what we can to make it right—to bend the arc of the moral universe…closer to justice." —Obama #WorkplaceEquality

Which Candidate Do You Support in the Republican Primaries?
Twitchy noted:
Feeling rested and refreshed after yesterday’s golf outing, President Obama is back at the White House to sign an executive order prohibiting discrimination of LGBT employees.
So what, exactly does this mean? Inquiring minds on Twitter also wanted to know:
.@WhiteHouse What does that even mean?

Good question.
.@torreymspears For real. Where is the "moral universe" and is there a Starbucks there? @WhiteHouse

Another good question.
@WhiteHouse Wow, so you admit you bend morals?https://t.co/0koYHi4p5w

@GaltsGirl @WhiteHouse a "moral universe" by it's definition is subjective. We could argue abortion bends the arc of moral universe, too.

@WhiteHouse Did anyone actually proof his speech? Bend morality? Is this a joke? Are you going to "bend" it for all? Criminals, too?

Why not?

This is a good time to mention that Newsweek cover — the one declaring Obama “god of all things.” Yes, they actually went there:
And let’s not forget the Florida professor who called Obama an “apostle” sent to create “heaven on earth.”
So it’s quite possible Obama really thinks he’s something not quite human…
As it turns out, the original quote actually came from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
Naturally, Obama didn’t credit MLK with the quote, and twisted it to change its meaning…
