Reciting all the messianic nicknames given to Barack Obama, such as "The One," "The Savior," and "The Messiah," NBC's Matt Lauer, on Monday's "Today" show asked the Democratic presidential nominee, how he will "manage" such great, "expectations." During an interview, aired in two parts in the first hour of "Today," Lauer rarely hit Obama with a tough question, instead choosing to focus on recent campaign highlights such as all the recent endorsements for Obama from Colin Powell to the Washington Post.
In the later portion of the interview Lauer recounted the biblical descriptions of Obama:
People have called you "The Savior," "The Messiah," "The Messenger of Change." The expectations have been raised to such a level. Some people say you're partly responsible because of your confident attitude. If you are, as you just say, lucky enough to be elected the next president are you going to have to consciously manage expectations, during the first several months of your administration?

LOL!
I agree....
:0)
That’s from Nostradamus...........
Fer chisel... LOL
bho is laughing at the people who are kissing his ass for nothing he’s done or can do, but because he’s clean and articulate.
O confirms exactly what we know about Powell's endorsement. That he waited to see who'd have the most momentum and then made his choice. If Powell was actually a man of courage and conviction, he would have endorsed O from the beginning.
If he has not already.
The tides of expectations are rising dramatically and, should BO be elected, we will see the fastest buyer’s remorse in American history.
After a short honeymoon, even the media will start being even-handed with BO - just as they were on Clinton. Nothing on ideology, of course, just mundane stuff. But then it’s too late. The MSM delivered this inept socialist to us on a silver platter.
The MSM hates everyone, it’s just that they hate conservatives more passionately due to ideology - which is a huge distinction.
This is disturbing:
“LAUER: Yeah, yeah “That one,” John McCain’s words. People have called you “The Savior,” “The Messiah,” “The Messenger of Change.” The expectations have been raised to such a level. Some people say you’re partly responsible because of your confident attitude. If you are, as you just say, lucky enough to be elected the next president are you going to have to consciously manage expectations, during the first several months of your administration?
OBAMA: Yes. Even before I’m sworn in. Not in terms of what I think we can accomplish long term but I think it’s very important to understand that we’re not going to reverse all these problems overnight.”
Wouldn’t you, if you were being named a Messiah, or Savior, at least disavow the rhetoric?
That he didn’t is disturbing.
Messianic Complex? Very disturbing.
Perhaps that should have been, “For chissel, or shizzel,... it was supposed to be the rap comment meaning something like for sure, but I may have missed the mark. A wood carving tool isn’t exactly what I had in mind.
