This dude at the park was claiming to be Barack Obama, but also kinda Jesus. And he tried to kidnap these two kids....
I mean, candy is usually a better route, BUT SURE, let's give "I am Jesus Obama. Come with me if you want to live" a try.
BUT WAIT, here is my favorite quote from this story. The childrens' mother Sharaya Smith, who thanks a group of teens for saving her kids from Bienvenido Cintron (aka Obama Jesus), noted that Cintron came into the park shouting, "I am Barack Obama. I have been sent by God to rid the world of drug dealers and prostitutes!"
Smith said she could tell "something was definitely off with him."
Ahem... DO YOU THINK WOMAN?? YES, I WOULD THINK CLAIMING TO BE JESUS OBAMA WOULD BE A GOOD SIGN THAT THE DUDE IS "OFF."
Anyway, he in jail. Kids are fine. Obama and Jesus keep their fairly untainted names, and a group of teens are heroes. Happy is as happy does. Or something.
