You got that right.

Chris Matthews of MSNBC, and Evan Thomas of the New Improved Newsweek, which is the MSNBC of print media--Obama has had a promotion. No more a Messiah, who was, after all, partly human, Obama is the Real Deal, the Big Cheese, the Big Enchilada. He is Himself, without qualifications. Obama is God.

I sh_t on their "god".

Another problem is that he feels the leaders of the past were all wrong. He is the only one that has all the answers. The House and Senate should be very worried about his czars. They will be deemed usless to him. As it is now, his czars bow to his every need.

NEWSWEEK. So you always knew you’d be on the cover of Newsweek?

PRESIDENT OBAMA. Well, not seventeen times!

MICHELLE OBAMA. Nineteen, actually.

NEWSWEEK. Well, twenty, after this one!

MICHELLE OBAMA. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

NEWSWEEK. Hahahahahhahahahahahahaha!

PRESIDENT OBAMA. Twenty? So the other thirty-two are of . . . what? Trends and things? Are you sure that’s wise? I mean, for consistency’s sake . . .

NEWSWEEK. Hahahahahahahahahaha!

MICHELLE OBAMA. Hahahahahahahahaha!

PRESIDENT OBAMA. Wasn’t really kidding.

It is 0bama's fault that his followers sound like risible fools. He is a risible fool and appeals to his own kind. And it shows.

You have to wonder about how these people can even look in the mirror in the morning. I cannot think of another time in history when a 'free press' was so monolithic and equally 'in the tank' on the political spectrum. It is almost Orwellian except that they are doing it on their own - I have to stop and check my own beliefs, do I know both sides of these debates and am I making true value judgments? The answer is YES and the MSM are true idiots, marching to the Democrat's Policies, NY Times drumbeat and GE's cheer-leading!

He is cool, hip, urbane, and extremely un-Texan. He is all that the Fourth Estate values in life, and aspires to be in its own private dealings. He is all it holds dear.

The money quote.

So where’s the satire? That sounds exactly like an interview Evan Thomas or Brian Williams would conduct.

"According to those who should know--Chris Matthews of MSNBC, and Evan Thomas of the New Improved Newsweek, which is the MSNBC of print media--Obama has had a promotion. No more a Messiah, who was, after all, partly human, Obama is the Real Deal, the Big Cheese, the Big Enchilada. He is Himself, without qualifications. Obama is God."

You have to ask how reliable these sources are for judgments on theology. Should anyone expect liberals to be reliable sources of information on religion and the divine? What is their track record on this subject? They think Obama is kind of like God. Ok, yeah, right...[sarcasm] They haven't been to church in a while so they can get a little confused on what this is about. Do we need any more proof this is a cult? Or that they seem to be brainwashed?

Obama can't be God for a number of reasons. He's just some guy from Harvard who can't get it straight whether he was ever a Muslim and how much he wants to run up the national debt. He is also a follower of the Alinsky theories. So however they may want to describe him, he is well down the ladder from God Almighty.

Also, he thought there were 57 states in the USA. Among the definitions of the attributes of God you find in writings on the Bible and the writings of theologians like Thomas Aquinas are All-Powerful and All-Knowing. An All-Knowing Supreme Being would know how many states there were.It's impossible that the true God would think there were 57 states. So Obama or Barry Soetoro or whatever his real name is can't be God. And liberals should stop confusing the two.

They need to enroll in a good theology class. Along with some basic Logic.

Barry is the anti-Bush,
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

He is the ANTEDOTE for Bush and only the dumbest of the dumb have failed to realize by now that the antedote is FAR, FAR worse than the poison it follows. All the first class fools who said we could not do worse than Bush were miserably, utterly, completely wrong.
