Barbara Walters: We Thought Obama Was Going To Be The Next Messiah

Barbara Walters: We Thought Obama Was Going To Be The Next Messiah By Brian Carey December 18, 2013.

Last night, in a particularly refreshing moment of candor, Barbara Walters shared her disillusion over the ObamaCare failure.

During an interview with Piers Morgan, she was asked why President Obama didn’t live up to his hype. This is a question that would not need to be directed at any conservative, because every conservative knew from the beginning that he wouldn’t live up to his hype.

“He made so many promises,” Walters said. “We thought that he was going to be I shouldn’t say this at Christmas time but the next Messiah.”

Actually, Ms. Walters should refrain from calling Barack Obama “the next Messiah” at any time, not just Christmas time.

However, we do appreciate the acknowledgement of her partisanship. She said “we”.

Of course, by “we” she means 1) anyone caught up in the excitement of a good looking Presidential candidate who was basically an empty suit back in 2008 and 2) every member of the lamestream media, including herself.

But the Media could only raise him so high.

Too bad it took too long for them to recognize their messiah had feet of clay.

Ironically, many from the political right were not fooled at all. Not even when Obama first announced his run for 2008.

This is precisely why you don’t elect “rock stars” or worship politicians.

We see many even on this website who become enamored with certain personalities of the political persuasion, and then they project what they hope the person to be. Usually he/she isn't.

2012 had about 6 different bandwagon leaders who fell short of the nomination as their bandwagons crashed and burned.

Carter x10. And we have been living with the repercussions of Carter for over 3 decades.

I knew from the moment I first heard about him that he was an empty suit offering nothing but crap from the progressive play book. I was never ever in doubt about how bad this worthless piece of $h!t was going to be.

Indeed! Babwa Waters was a “serious “journalist “. Didn't she research Obama? Everything Obama touched failed. The community he organized in was worse after he arrived. The fellow, Rezko, who helped Obama buy his house was in jail for corruption. Obama lied about his position on born alive botched abortions. In other words she id self deluded!

Probably Babs’s messiah was Hitler and thus far Obozo has not yet achieved that desired status.

Good point. She didn’t say “The second coming of the Messiah.” She said “The next messiah.” Who is this next messiah and where do we find information on him?
