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."

Then again, who reads Newsweek?

You'll find them in doctors' offices: They're the last of all the other magazines to "go missing".

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

How do you arrive at that conclusion? So far, Obama has shown no signs that he is an acolyte...he has shown himself to be supreme.

Even his bow to Adbullah was, symbolically, only a bow to Mecca...and to Obama himself.

Anyone who considers themselves an atheist but who also worships Obama “like a god” needs to turn in their Atheism at the door.

Anybody really believe these clowns are going to subject “god” to the laws and traditions of men and expect him to leave office......ever?

That is a very foresighted observation, my FRiend. They are going to cover up, excuse and applaud this deviant no matter what hell he drags this country (and the world) through.

Re: “Then again, who reads Newsweek?”

**********

Agree — I remember when Time and Newsweek had ‘some’ substance to them, and some pages! Now when I see these Obamunist rags at market checkout I laugh because they don’t even have any ad copy inside! Who wants to advertise in a dead mag?

Why is he just an Acolyte and not the mistress herself?

Well, for one thing, there is this matter of his penis ~ however so small, that's what folks say it is.

He's also not very good at all in predicting the future ~ it's like he's blinded to the thought that his actions could have consequences. Several times he's just wandered off from major matters of state to "party". And then he dutifully reads his teleprompter even to the extent of "introducing himself" ~ which was totally bizarre.

He is an obedient follower.

Hey, only half as smart as a Latina ~ that's 'cause he's only half white.

You didn't hear that from me ~ check the Queen Puta herself eh!

Brian Williams bowed to him, news anchors swoon and get tingly now Obama has risen to the heights of deity and worship.

Not one of these news people could think to ask a simple question regarding that speech, like when Obama said Iraq was a war of Choice:

So Obama regarding you choice it appears, you have chosen to continue and send troops into battle in a war that you do not agree with and do not support, isn’t that just a wee bit insane?

The White House announced today that Obama was willing to be crucified to prove that he is indeed God.

Ticketmaster says tickets will go on sale early next spring.

It's also a description fit for the Antichrist.

To hear these reporters, this guy 0bama has performed a truly amazing feat: He's exalted himself above the world, right up there with God, yet he's said to be humble.

When will it end. This goes beyond bias, this is outright brainwashing. I’ll be so glad when they all fold.
