Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
NewsBusters ^ | 6/5/2009 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 06/05/2009 4:26:44 PM PDT by james500

Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

Thomas, appearing on Hardball with Chris Matthews, was reacting to a preceding monologue in which Matthews praised Obama’s speech: "I think the President's speech yesterday was the reason we Americans elected him. It was grand. It was positive. Hopeful...But what I liked about the President's speech in Cairo was that it showed a complete humility...The question now is whether the President we elected and spoke for us so grandly yesterday can carry out the great vision he gave us and to the world."

God is God. it's only when you deny His existence that mortals grasp for these false substitutes. And that goes to the whole point of Christianity, at least on a functional level. If the "here and now" is all that there is, then anything goes, and nothing is wrong or immoral.

If there is no God, then there is no reason to lead a moral life.

He is their God. They deify him, much like the Roman emperors were “Gods”. The difference is that they waited until the Emperors were dead first.

Sure. He’s God.

The Angel of Darkness, Antichrist, Apollyon, Beelzebub, Diabolus, King of Hell, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, Prince of Darkness, archfiend, demon, the Evil Spirit.

That probably made Mathews have an orgasm and as it dripped down his leg, it tingled again.

Even Thomas: He (B.O.) is going to say, ‘now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.’ And he has a kind of a moral authority that he – he can – he can do that."

I believe that this consistent 'passivity' by B.O. is going to allow us to be hit 10,000 times worse than 9/11. Call them what they are Mr. Hussein; "Terrorists" don't give a damn about "Moral Authority". That was the most disgusting 'partial transcript' I've read in years. I actually feel sick to my stomach after reading it.

Just when you think it can’t get worse . . . This Obama worship by the media is just bizarre, completely bizarre. But guess who boycotted Obama’s Cairo speech? The leaders of the Egyptian pro-democracy movement. Why? Because they see Obama for what he is - a slick talker who will do nothing to further the cause of freedom in the Middle East.

I read there once was this mega charismatic world leader who promised fuel efficient cars that the workers could afford.

And just as they finally got the "People's Temple" sign removed from the Chrstian Church where Jim Jones first set up shop in Indianapolis, we have Evan Thomas struggling to put on the demonic presence that precipitated that horrible journey.

Gotta' be connected ~ demon out of People's Temple, demon into Evan Thomas.

We are truly blessed that Obama is only an acolyte the Anti-Christ.

Oh I agree. I certainly am beginning to believe Obama is the Prince of this World.

It is in the nature of cowards to invest unnatural wisdom in those who insist that freedom may be negotiated with its enemies.

I thought communists didn’t believe in God!

Further, I thought the left was all about separation of church and state.

Why lying hypocrites.
