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."

TOTUS worship ping!

[Brilliant]

He is God... provided that you’re a demon.

Thomas has gone stark raving mad ~ before, and this time too.

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

[kcvl]

No, no media bias in this country. /s

How sickening the oh so intellectuals are acting like teenage girls with a crush.

[Pedrobud]

This is disgusting. These so called smart people putting their faith in one man.

Please excuse me while I barf my guts out!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

It should be recalled that soon after Palm Sunday, the Messiah was crucified

"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

This may very well be the dumbest statement ever made....in all of human history.

[TigersEye]

These asshats sure do hate America.

"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

Top that one, Brian Williams. "Okay, well, he's better than God, you know, a bazillion times better, I mean he's a kind of super mega-God..."

These people aren't even embarrassed by this sycophancy. They'll be calling him Dear Leader next without the slightest sense of irony.

[ruination]

Then again, who reads Newsweek?

[hflynn]

The level of stupidity about this empty suit by liberal swines has now reached blasphemy.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Looks like Evan Thomas has drunk the koolaid.

Here is a previous video in which Thomas calls Obama creepy...Link

That tingly feeling, now running up their leg, through their pelvis, up the spine, and right into what little is left of their cerebellum.

Sick, depraved, idol worship begotten of a strong delusion.

IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

[romanesq]

Cult of personality is alive and well with the left. Since they don’t believe in God, the desire to elevate a human to such status is strong.

It’s always been an elite staple: elevate a leader from the cult of socialist realism to lead the proletariat masses.

"I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

Then I'm sure you'll support me when I say that "separation of church and state" demands that he be removed from office.

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

[Noumenon]

This is sick.
