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.

IGNORANT WOMAN..
Baa Baa Waa Waa is an idiot. So is the foreigner Piers Morgan.
Prostitutes? Really?
Walters is the mold from which all bimboness comes.
What a clueless wench.
Prostitutes? Really?
Actually, an objective journalist shouldn't say that EVER. But then, no one has ever confused Barbara Walters with an objective journalist.
He IS the next Messiah....for liberals.
At least that’s what I’ve read.
My problem with this is that Obama hasn't even shown signs and wonders yet. He hasn't done anything. He has accomplished nothing in his entire life. The seduction is purely self-invented in the minds of his followers. There is nothing tangible they can point at and say, "Look at this great thing he has done."
Perhaps you should reassess your estimate of Barbara Walters' intellect, with the thought that you might have overestimated it.
Did you mean “presstitutes”?
Yes, they consider themselves part of the enlightened.
They get into journalism to “make a difference”.
Baba must be one of the outraged New York liberals who lost her health insurance.
I may be mistaken ... but some of the blasphemous images, wherein the artist has explicitly mimicked Catholic iconography, appear to me to be satire. Some of them. It's hard to tell, and with leftists reality catches up to satire very quickly.
If anyone thinks Barbara has learned a lesson...please lie down until thought goes away. The left imprint is permanent..indelible.
OK Baa Waa, I’ll go chocolate coat a turd and let you eat it. It is no different that expecting zero to be a messiah. We tried to warn you, but you had already paid for all those cases of kneepads.
Rush will have a field day with this quote!!!
What Barbara Walters has revealed is that all too often so called intellects don’t know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
