FReeper Finkelstein On Scarborough Radio Show Describes Obama Cult of Personality
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/09/2009 7:45:54 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

NewsBuster--and FReeper--Mark Finkelstein was a guest yesterday on the Joe Scarborough Show, the nationally-syndicated radio show that the Morning Joe anchor co-hosts with Mika Brzezinski.

Listen to audio here.

For days, Scarborough had been lambasting Republicans for going after Pres. Obama on his speech to schoolchildren. Finkelstein argued that it was not so much the potential for indoctrination as the cult of personality which was objectionable. He pointed out that the Obama-centric study guide for the speech was of a piece with messianic image that the president has allowed to grow up around him, going back to the presidential campaign and his famous "this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal" speech.

Any mention of the speech to high school freshmen prior to the publicly broadcast speech.

The part where the One told the students he was for universal health care and thought he could achieve it.

Yep...nice job. And, a wonderful break from the conga line of liberals spouting their nonsense along with their Obama worship. And further, nice to get a conservative on that show who's life is not devoted to finding the cuddly side of Der Führer.
