Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’

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."

From the transcript:

THOMAS: I don't think he has – his shtick is he's the teacher. He's the teacher. He 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-

The teacher? A kind of moral authority? A sort of God?

Gotta' be a circulation problem of a most serious nature.

So that's the cause of homo-erotic gushing.

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

Every time I go to the dentist or doctors office, I slyly pick up a half dozen of so libtard magazines, always including Time & Newsweek, and head straight for dumpster on the way out. I figure that since I am paying megabucks for my dental appointment, the least I can is to remove the socialist commie propoganda and especially any magazines that feature 0boooooombashit or his ugly man-wife beast Michelle.

There's only one way this can end.
