Yes, she really said it.
On CNNs Piers Morgan Live Tuesday, in a brief discussion about President Obama, Barbara Walters actually said, We thought that he was going to be - I shouldn't say this at Christmastime, but - the next messiah (video follows with transcript and commentary):
-(see link)-
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: You have interviewed every president of my lifetime. Why is Obama facing so much opposition now? Why is he struggling so much to really fulfill the great flame of ambition and excitement that he was elected on originally in 2009?
BARBARA WALTERS: Well, you've touched on it to a degree. He made so many promises. We thought that he was going to be - I shouldn't say this at Christmastime, but - the next messiah. And the whole ObamaCare, or whatever you want to call it, the Affordable Health Act, it just hasn't worked for him, and hes stumbled around on it, and people feel very disappointed because they expected more.
It's very difficult when the expectations for you are very high. You're almost better off when they are low and then they rise and rise. His were very high and theyve dropped. But you know, he still has several years to go. What does he have, three years, Piers? And, you know, there will be a lot of changes, one thinks in that time.

It's not hard to imagine. I'm sure a LOT of prostitutes fell in love with his "free health insurance for the downtrodden" meme.

I’d rather go for a root canal than a BW interview.
.
Let's be precise about that. They fell in love with the feeling of
"I'm a good person because I support free health insurance for the downtrodden"
There is no next Messiah - there is only one and He came over 2000 years ago. Anyone pretending to be the Messiah is anti-Christ. All of the mainstream media are ignorant and arrogant. I can’t believe that any thinking person reads or listens to their stuff any longer. They are speaking in an echo chamber.
That is stomach turningly creepy.
I need to go wash my eyes.
I’m sure most prostitutes consider themselves part of the downtrodden.
A "newsreader" way over her paygrade.
Walter’s intellect?
That was one of the somewhat less creepy ones. I didn’t want to shock FR TOO much!
There were some that were positively blasphemous.
Right. Lecturer jobs are definitely not that path to a professorship. It's a 'teaching' job, frequently part-time appointment for those working in the community with no expectation that it will lead to anything more. It can be a good opportunity for someone who wants to teach part-time but it is not the road to advancement in the academy.
Obama’s most loyal shills are beginning to have to admit the truth. Is this the beginning of the preference cascade?
Walters commands no respect with those of us on the right, but make no mistake, women on the left side of the political spectrum pay attention to her. This is no small development, in that it gives others permission to break ranks and begin to express their disappointment in Obama.
If I were a democrat, I’d want him off the stage.
Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. ― Thomas Paine, The Crisis
Yeah.
We noticed.
I don’t think so - they consider themselves part of the “enlightened” who derive their righteousness from their “care for the poor”.
This is the wages of idolatry.
Very well stated. The media “elite” worship at the altar of progessivism.
