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."

MPNBC (Ministry of Propaganda, NBC division) has become First Church of Obama in a cynical bid to benefit from tax exempt religious status.

General Electric can now claim charitable deductions.

Looking at the BIGGER picture here...in the face of the blasphemy this nation has become...turning away from Him more and more daily..
I pray God will steady His hand just a bit longer...
As I prayed after 9/11...steady Thy hand Lord....

But if His wrath must come, I understand why. I am as guilty as all..but I pray the blood of Christ that covers me covers many more before the wrath is brought upon this evil land....

This is getting scary.

Last time this happened was in Germany around 1935.

Germany’s Hitler was sort of a god too, all megalomaniacs in high positions of power are gods to someone. They all make good speeches too. Oba’al’s humility is nothing more than a hatred for America that is shared by most of the Muslim world. When Oba’al is through, we will be equally hated by Israel. The rest of the world will laugh at us.

I strongly disagree. Teenage girls are smarter than these so-called intellectuals!

That is absolutely disgusting. These people are pushing for civil war.

That wasn't a stopped clock, but a fluke, a lightning strike. Fine bit of engineering, and the last shadow of goodness Hitler ever allowed his soul to cast.

And I don't expect Juaneva Emptysuit to be able even nearly to replicate it on any front.

Moral authority? It’s simply called arrogance! Good grief. I can’t believe it, but the worship is getting worse. I guess Thomas ain’t got the guts to fact-check God’s speech...

By the way, are direct quotes in red?

Sounds familiar...

"And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, [saying, It is] the voice of a god, and not of a man." (Acts 12:21-22)

Even if Obama is nothing more than a well meaning nit-wit,the shear amount of public adoration he receives will sooner or later go to his head.

Whatever way you look at this,it's not good.

There’s many words I can think of describe Zero’s speeches, but humble is never one of them. The man can’t open his mouth without arrogance, condescension and presumption dropping out.

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

You ain't kidding about delusions. I'm convinced there is massive spiritual blindness surrounding all this Obama (the iBama) worship. Even professing Christians voted for this guy? This shows more than just a lack of discernment.

Gee, who’s the BFF there? Even back then, O’Bambi had the smug, arrogant look perfected. What a tool.
