Tony Alamo Seeks to Advise Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton in Exchange for Pardon

Now posted on the Alamo Ministries web site are three letters dated January 3, 2011 from Tony Alamo; one to President Barack Obama, and one each to former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Taken at face value, all three letters seem to come from some parallel universe with only a passing similarity to the world we recognize. The letters come from a bizarre world in which presidents take seriously what Tony Alamo might have to say, are easily led to suppose that Tony Alamo’s federal conviction and 175 year sentence were actually persecution for his beliefs, and are willing to consider the possibility that Alamo has heard from God how to resolve the conflict in the Middle East.
This is all hilariously funny but at the same time puzzling. Can Alamo truly think Obama, Bush, and Clinton will possibly fall for such utter lunacy? The answer apparently is yes. What these letters suggest is that Alamo is possessed by a combination of narcissism and megalomania which leave him truly incapable of recognizing where his own malignant fantasies of power and grandeur end and the real world begins. He is not just a criminal. He is criminally insane. One must wonder what current members think when reading these letters and why they continue to support him.

This Bible verse defines Tony Alamo (2 Tim 3:13 KJV) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
