Newsweek’s Evan Thomas and Jon Meacham shared a bizarre Obama love-fest session with Charlie Rose on the PBS host’s program on Wednesday. Meacham stated that he was "very struck watching the stagecraft" of Obama and pointed out how Obama gave his victory speech by himself: "...[H]ave you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage? No adoring wife, no cute kid -- he is the message." Thomas went one step further in this vein: "There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all of this." Rose confronted him on his use of this phrase, and he explained that it made him "a little uneasy that he's so singular. He's clearly managing his own spectacle. He knows how to do it. He's a -- I think, a deeply manipulative guy..." Later, all three marveled about how it was "amazing" that Obama "watches us watching him."
Thomas and Meacham appeared during the second segment of Rose’s program on Wednesday night. The host first asked Thomas about how Obama seemed to be "always in charge of this campaign." After giving an anecdote about a meeting in which Obama discussed his vice presidential pick with his advisers, Thomas commented that Obama is very inclusive, yet very self-contained. It's an unusual leadership style."

The Media will live to regret their creation of this idol.

Keep those you manipulate close -- and never let them see what you actually are going to do with them.
Coming from Norman’s grandson, this is rich.
And, noticeably absent, the beastly large butted Michelle and the kids....
They are going to have to figure out how to compress that butt before they host any State dinners....
Obama is the Anti Christ.
“...And he realizes that people want to help him. They want to help him. It makes people feel good to help — And this is an important insight for him. Oh my gosh, I have this gift. I have this knack. People are going to want to help —”
Shelby Steele called Obama “a bargainer” - he will tell white people - ‘I will act like you, and won’t accuse you of being racist, and you will accept and even promote me.’
Well, it's too late now.
The MSM was amazed at Clinton’s ability to spin them. This is much more frightening.
