Obama worship syndrome
Fairborn Daily Herald.com ^ | 12/14/13

When George W. Bush was president of the United States, many of the left fell prey to what columnist Charles Krauthammer called “Bush Derangement Syndrome”: “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush.” With Bush out of office, BDS has waned somewhat.

Unfortunately, it has been replaced by a converse condition, just as grave and dangerous to the mental stability of its victims: “Obama Worship Syndrome.” Primarily affecting low-information voters and members of the mainstream media, Obama Worship Syndrome attributes impossible capabilities to Obama’s political opponents, finds excuses for every Obama failure in everyone around him and praises the president as the finest politician — nay, human being — of our time.

On Monday evening, for example, CNN’s Piers Morgan considered whether New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could run for president as an overweight man. Morgan, with stars in his eyes, asked crisis-management expert Judy Smith, “After the perfect Barack Obama — who’s a perfect physical specimen to many people’s eyes — does it matter?” After toweling himself off, Morgan then asked whether Americans could even stomach “a regular kind of guy who likes cheeseburgers and beer, but appears to be a straight talker?”

Morgan’s OWS pales in comparison to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, who infamously declared that Obama made his leg tingle. But that’s just the first symptom of Matthews’ OWS: He’s also declared Obama “the perfect father, the perfect husband, the perfect American,” explaining that Obama has “never done anything wrong in his life, legally, ethically, whatever”; he’s blamed the sun for Obama’s pathetic June 2013 speech in Berlin (it glared off his teleprompter, Matthews insisted); and he’s compared Obama to Henry V among others.

Morgan and Matthews are extreme cases

I guess referring to Obama as the “King” would count

Didn’t those two idiots go to Cuba and meet with the Castro bros fairly recently? I think JZ wore a Che t-shirt.

BTW: if you didn’t see it, check out the old-school hot rod thread I posted this AM. Sorry, nothing more recent than late 50s, except perhaps for one pickup truck.

He almost certainly would not have attained his meteoric trajectory if he were white

You sum up your argument well with this. And I agree.
