Newsweek’s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ‘Sort of God’
« on: June 08, 2009, 03:47:02 PM »
Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday (6/5/09), declaring on MSNBC: “I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God.”

Christ! Even his kids are going to be giving him crap over that one. Can you imagine the scene when he vetoes a boyfriend? "Well Dad, you are like a god and all (cue teenage eye roll  ::)) but......... ;D

Wonder why we're screwed up and in this mess ... Guy's like this are getting paid to filter the news and give us versions like this.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

The only thing that comes to mind is to regurgitate my dinner...
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. - George Washington

Ok somebody correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't it Evan Thomas who said a couple of years ago, when asked why he was so spiteful towards Bush, "It's our job to hate the president." ????

So next time I get mad about watching my country being driven towards Eurosocialism(which the Europeans don't even want any more), should I say "Obamadamn it"?
