Barack Obama, Savior of the World?

(bumped up from earlier today)

Can you believe a “journalist” said this? Newsbuster’s Kyle Drennen sums up Newsweek’s Evan Thomas’s jaw-dropping remarks on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews:

[Evan] Thomas elaborated on Obama as God, patronizingly explaining: “He’s going to bring all different sides together…Obama is trying to sort of tamper everything down. He doesn’t even use the word terror. He uses extremism. He’s all about let us reason together…He’s the teacher. He is going to say, ‘now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.’

And he has a kind of a moral authority that he – he can – he can do that.” In response, [Chris] Matthews wondered: “If there’s a world election between him and Osama Bin Laden, he’s running a good campaign.” Thomas agreed: “Yes, he is.”

Here is the video:

 

So let me get this straight: Obama is God and he is an antidote to the Satan, Osama.

I am speechless.

Is this a new version of “Bring it on” from Obama and his cronies? Because I don’t yet see the foundations being laid for the hard work ahead of bringing together the world against terrorism. Only some patronizing speeches addressing the “Muslim World.” As Pat Lang so aptly put it, “An excess of “cultural sensitivity” is not helpful. It is patronising.” A meek expression of cultural sensitivity however profuse, will also not convey a message of strength.

Osama’s goal is simple and his job is easy. He can even outsource it to many other terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Toiba aka LeT (don’t hound me for evidence of links between Al-Queda and LeT — they are just one big conglomerate as far as I am concerned). We saw the latest evidence of it on November 26, 2008 in Mumbai, India.

However, Obama if he wants to play the peacemaker, has the uphill battle of building consensus among heads of state with disparate interests to resolve the monumental conflicts which may or may not root out terrorism as we see it today.

I am not convinced that these speeches are the new beginning that they are purported to be. The hype surrounding it making them into mega media events with rock star Obama has taken away the seriousness of the hard work that lies ahead. Does Obama know what he is doing?

And fools like Evan Thomas with their stupid pronouncements do not help.

    Evan Thomas shame on you. Your “God” Obama helped incite genocide on innocent Christian Kenyans with Odinga. He’ a murderer, not a God.

        and their prophets: it seems Carlos Bledsoe, the terrorist who shot Private Long to death as well as injured another young soldier, had a prior charge of gunrunning and some other charges dropped and removed from his record. So much for the radicalized-in-Yemen-that-couldn’t -happen-here theory.

        One sincerely hopes this was not the intervention of the government in the hopes of watching him and tracing his connections to others.

        also at atlas today is the story of a memorial for Private Long crashed by a psycho in a burka.

        • tminu

          Obama didn’t mention him nor the radicalized prisoners caught in NYC before his speech….because he is “standing with the muslims”.

          • Diana

            Just as he said he would do in his book. No surprise. My husband said this morning that he heard on KNX that Obama admitted he’d downplayed his Muslim ties during the primary. He never downplayed anything, he lied.

            I heard yesterday on the radio that for the first time in 45 years, for the past three months Americans are spending between 14 and 16 billion dollars less a month. 45 years. That’s what a great job he’s doing on the economy.

            Democrats took over 2 years ago, If this is what is going to happen for the next 4 years with nothing improving, more people loosing their jobs, homes. Then I am sorry we better go back to the Republicans. That means they’re at least able to keep people employed and fed. A roof over their head.

            1 out of every 10 people now in this country are unemployed and that’s not counting the ones that have been cut off from their benefits. Plus, we still have more companies announcing lay offs. MSN said yesterday if Obama’s proposals go through, they’re leaving the country. How many people do they employ? The average unemployment rate under Bush and Republicans was 5%.

            None of which the Democrats we have in office NOW seem to be able to do. (Although, there have been several Democrats that have been able to do it, one that comes to the top of my mind is President Clinton. Hmmm) Yes, I can see they’ve made a great choice in their God. I’m surprised they’ve been able to function or live outside of a cult all these years.

            We’re in serious need of a strong third party in this country…

    • James Guglielmino

      Well, as absurd as referring to Obama as “God is,” I’d say your perspective is uh, umm bit off to the other side. Actually…..more than a bit. ACTUALLY, even MORE weird.

      • pm317

        I think there is still some hope (there is that word again.) Our NQ resident bot thinks Thomas is absurd for referring to 0bama as God. Yay!

        Now, tell me if these 0bama mega mouthpieces go off in this absurd direction, what will the rest of the world, people on the street think? What will be their effect on hard core diplomatic efforts with other heads of state?

        Do we dismiss this “journalistic” indiscretions as middle age crisis/exuberance of a few middle aged men from the media?

        • James Guglielmino

          I think sentient people will recognize it for what it is, nutty and that it won’t make more difference than a cup full of spit.

          • sfhillary

            Thomas was making a symbolic point about political leaders and it came out sounding odder than he no doubt intended. The fact that on NQ his offhand comment is worth discussing at all, let alone for dozens and dozens of comments, is indicative of the shallowness of NQ more than anything else.

            • pm317

              Who wants to take this on? oowawa, ferd?

              How noble of you 0bots to forgive Thomas’ indiscretion. God is not the word I would associate with a coward politician (I am not even going to call him a political leader — he is yet to show his leadership) like 0bama who lacks political and moral courage. Foreign policy people are calling his current shenanigans, a PR offensive and that is what it is. Adding to that show are fools like Thomas with their stupid pronouncements. So “bring it on”, they have “God” on their side, is that it?

              Nobody gives a fucking penny for what you think of what they said. It is how it will be interpreted by the people of the world (which includes majority Americans). If you want to say fools like Thomas must be discounted, then why are you listening to them and why have you given them a fucking platform to spout their stupidity?

              • oowawa

                Well, pm317, I answered sfhillary’s comment, but I’m afraid that the Almighty Spam Filter rejected my pitiful mortal response.

                      …could I make it up to you with some Morningstar Chik patties?

            • oowawa

              sfhillary, the reason this “offhand comment” is noteworthy is that it is part of an ongoing pattern of Obama deification that has been going forward since the early days of the primary. See the obamamessiah site (link downthread) for many graphic examples of this. It has gone way beyond the point that Thomas’s remarks can be dismissed as “offhand” or accidental.

            • NomNomNom

              It wasn’t long ago that Evan Thomas described BHO as having a creepy cult of personality and deeply manipulative. Pull your head out of the sand. Thomas is a rented stooge. His moronic comments are not hyperbole and symbolism, they are paid for advertisements.
              http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=214933

              • pm317

                Though I think when he said “creepy” I think it looked like he was fascinated about 0bama’s effect on people rather putting it down?

                • NomNomNom

                  re-watched vid, you could be right; still a big turnaround in perspective

                  • http://in Elizabeth

                    Without a doubt Thomas emphasized the heroism of ‘deeply manipulative’ not phony, fake or empty creation but as ‘self-awareness’ and ‘quite useful qualities of a leader.’

                    It’s on more addition to Brian Williams bowing and Hillary going on about “the president, in his public actions and demeanor, and certainly in private with me and with the national security team, has been strong, thoughtful, decisive, I think he is doing a terrific job. And it’s an honor to serve with him.” like she did this morning on “This Week.”

                    A slightly different take on a post-election edition of Newsweek: “Barack Obama can be cocky about his star power.”
                    http: //www.newsweek.com/id/167582

                    The media for sure is being controlled and directed from the outside, but in essence they are doing nothing more than going along with the program. The threat of punishment must hang over the heads of everyone involved.

                    • wbboei

                      I think you need to consider the role Hillary is playing in the Administation and how it is expanding in order to understand her comments. Everything has a context. As far as the helium balloon is concerned what goes up must come down. The operative question is how much damage will be done before the country wakes up. And which crisis will be the catalyst.

            • Ferd Berfle

              There is nothing “symbolic” about an absurd comparison, sfshillery. Nor is there any excuse for such a patently silly statement from Thomas or from you.

              Frankly, I am sick of the dreck posing as enlightened commentary coming from the mouths of you boobs.

              As for shallowness, anyone who believes that That One is even comparable to a deity in either deed or word is indeed a shallow thinker. Don’t even bother trying again, troll.

              Lets not go bring up “shallow” when you refuse to even get your toes wet. All through the primaries you were posting like the last call at BO’s speakeasy joint “Just Words”.

              Not much has changed. By the way how are the public schools in SF?

    • mary

      tminu

      Yes! Obama is a Peace-Talking Murderer! Absolutely and there should be no doubt.

      Obama clearly said the very same day he had sent 21,000 troops to Afganistan that “I believe in peace, Diplomacy and Develoment–not MILITARY SOLUTIONS”!~ He was interviewed by CBC’s Peter Mansbridge (who does not cross himself uttering “obama, amen”) Watch the TV newsclip on the day before Obama’s visit to Ottawa (which he called “Iowa” in the Canadian Parliament!).

      Murderer? No! Genocidal Madman in the tradition of Mussolini and his buddy Adolph. His current budget is $665 Billion. $65 Bil. to Afganistan and 61B to Iraq. This is 5% more than BUSH’s budget.

      Meantime, Obama’s CIA-promoted thugs are busy in Pakistan killing civilians in SWAT country and making more enemies against America by the day. Why?
      OBAMA’S WAR has already made 3 MILLION REFUGEES in northern Pakistan. Obama’s the dummy to Brezinksy, his Ventriloquist who wants to destabilize Pakistan (a nucreal power!) and Afganistan so that China-Russia will go to war with each other. He’s playing one country against the other like dominoes in the same genocidal maniacal way that Dr. Kissinger had destroyed countires like Vietnam, Cambodia and bankrupted Africa. Obama’s 3 years at CColombia are sealed records because he does not want anyone to know that he has been groomed by these madmen. He’s the FACE LIFT that America needed to destabilize these poor countries.

      3 Million refugees in Pakistan/Afganistan border. Hundreds of civilians, women and little children killed by paid armies and drones. Their burned faces will haunt us forever. And Obama is talking aobut Peace and Evan Thomas is calling him GOD? Gimme a break!

      ODINGA, his cousin, is the cruelet dictator in Kenya where Obama went to campaign in 2006-7 with Dick Morris. His goal to destabilize the country is almost complete. Women and girls are under SHARIA LAW, thanks to Obama’s promotion of his Luo cousin Odinga who has burned 55 churches there and has made the hijab a sacrament!!!

      OBAMA IS A NARCISSISTIC, EGOMANICAL GENOCIDAL PUPPET

    • mary

      Yes.

      Obama is a NARCISSISTIC GENOCIDAL PUPPET. Already he’s flip-flopped on “Development and Diplomacy, not Military Solutions” promise! The day he visited Ottawa (“Iowa” he called it!) he told CBC’s Peter Mansbridge that he did not believe in militaristic solutions. Just diplomacy. That morning he had deployed 21,000 troops to Afganistan.

      $65 B from his 665B budget goes to Afganistan! $61 B goes to Iraq! Already his CIA-paid army of Pakistanis has created a humanitarian disaster in that poor country. THREE MILLION REFUGEES in nortehrn Pakistan/Afganistan and hudnreds burned by bombs lying in hospital, their children searching for parents and being dug out of Obama-made rubble.

      Meantime in Kenya, he’s managed to destabilize it through his campaign in 2006 for cousin Odinga, the Sharia Law murderer the he admires!

      Obama is 3 times worse than Bush. His goal is to destabilize Pakistan, dividing and ruling, forgetting it’s a nuclear power. His bodyguard army is there to safely guard oil pipelines. Why are his records sealed in Colombia NY? Brezinksy groomed him all these years. Hhis first puppet CARTER didn’t work out. But his new boy gives his goals a FACE LIFT!

      Poor women and children in Pakistan/Afganistan are not being killed by Taliban. It’s Obama’s “diplomacy and development”. Shame on this llying Murderer!!!!

      I read Webster Tarpley’s Obama: The Unauthorized Biography and his “Obama: The Postmodern Coup/Manchurian Candidate” He states that HIllary would have won, but it was preplanned for Obama to come in for the new face lift agenda….It makes sense that the Obots went mad with this murderous moron!

      Rev. Jeremiah Wright knew Obama better than anyone. At the Press Club (before Obama ‘divorced’ him) he said:

      “Obama will say anything just to get elected…he’s just another typical politician”!!!

  • http://! stodgie

    well the elite politicans and followers are all so proud of themselves along with the media suckups. unfortunately the rest of the world doesn’t agree. i don’t see obama making inroads in the middle east. they aren’t going to buy his bull. people will get tired of hearing this trash. i for one sure am.

  • Diana L. C.

    I bet O could get hired as a trainer for management seminars–lots of psychobabble feel-good approaches there. The seminars aren’t usually really successful in solving company management problems, but they do give the management people some days off to keep their annoying selves out of the way of getting work done.

    As for solving the very deep problems in the greater world, I am totally amazed that anyone in his/her right mind can think like this.

        As someone who lives in FL, that is horrifying, completely horrifying. I have a boarder, does farm chores and helps around the house for his board, who lost his job in construction, went to being a handyman and ended up homeless while building bookcases for me. I took him in, since he is of good character and hard working. I was hoping he would be able to find work soon, but looking at that, I think he will be settling in for the long haul here. I am just glad he is as good at growing food as he is at eating it. Most people aren’t.

  • Mandelay

    Thank you for posting this … although it created a sick feeling in me. What is passing for political talk is truly awful and a real danger to democracy.
    I also agree with Diana L.C. and I am “… totally amazed that anyone in his/her right mind can think like this.”
    The quickest remedy to this seems to be the 2010 congressional elections. It is the only rational way the citizens can begin to put an end to this really dangerous talk that seems to appear nightly via the tv sets in our homes.
    A two-step process under our Constitution is open to all of us in the near future: 1) break the back of the Democratic majority in both houses in 2010 …2) deny Obama a second term in 2012.
    Until 2010, it costs nothing to talk with family and friends and relentlessly point out each piece of madness on our “road of change.” They might argue, call you names and appear to be impervious to what we’re saying, but keep on hammering the points home. Eventually, all but the most brainwashed will start to feel doubt taking hold in their minds and hearts. And that will contribute mightily to the outcomes of the 2010/2012 elections. More than a vote for or against a particular “personality,” those elections can be a referendum on what is cherished in this country, what we believe about America. Those elections might also be the last chance for this country.

    • oldmediatype

      I hoped that referendum was last election but kool-aid and Bush hatred were stronger. Like you say, let us hope for some enlightenment by 2010 and then 2012. But without a solid alternative, he will sail through 2012.

      • FranSC

        Speaking of the campaign that has really never ended – his campaign workers went to workshops this weekend to be trained in going door-to-door to sell his health care package. Sneaky way to keep the campaign workers in toe, controlled, and working so they could go straight into the 2012 elections.

        I do hope this Bill O’Reilly/Glen Beck ACORN investigation keeps the screws to any kind of campaigning by these questionable groups. And, I hope people will report any and all contacts so they are exposed on every step they take toward another round of corrupt tactics.

  • Craig Della Penna

    Does Obama know what he is doing?

    Well, yes and no. Is the big “O” actually trying to bring on whirrled peas? No. Obama doesn’t give a rat’s ass whether on not the bloodshed stops. What’s important to him is how he looks on the front page. Taking his cue from the successful Clinton campaigns of the ’90′s, the mantra of the Obama Eternal Campaign is: “It’s the propaganda, stupid.”

    What continues to be astonishing (and far more dangerous in the long run) is the continued adoration of the pressbots. In a mind-numbingly stupid sequence of banal cliches hailed, every time, as the greatest speech ever given in the history of the world followed assiduously by the confirmation and adulation of the bobble-head press that, indeed, it was the greatest speech ever uttered by man or demi-god… we just keep on swirling in the bowl…

      He is taking his cues alright but perhaps from the one who really ‘won”. I mean you can train someone but their delivery and personality are not going to end up the same as if you were the one to deliver.
      Hillary said “I think he’s doing really good (following my drections) and it’s an honor to serve together for America.”
      There is more to it than meets the eyes being all on him. There is the mechanism behind the scene directing him..and he screws up all the time but the’s willing to follow direction (hehe)…did Hill drag him to inspect the ovens to help change his heart?? Those are my thoughts…I see something that’s beyond appearances. Anyone who was and is in tune with our girl’s nuances will know what I mean.

    Saw a FaceBook post yesterday from a casual friend, paraphrased as follows:

    President Obama gave a speech in Cairo and got a standing ovation; the last time Bush was over there, somebody threw a shoe at him.

    As a sign that all is “fixed” in the world, that Obama-Worship is the answer to all things, as if Allah, God, L. Ron Hubbard and George Burns (that one’s subtle but think a minute, you’ll get it) jointly procreated with a heavenly body (no, not Angelina Jolie) and sent forth their jointly begotten Son to save the world.

      President Obama gave a speech in Cairo and got a standing ovation; the last time Bush was over there, somebody threw a shoe at him.

      That casual friend apparently doesn’t know Iraq from Egypt or Cairo from Baghdad. So much for geographical literacy, as well. I suppose the liberal use of the word “there” means any country in the ME since they’re all “alike”. Wow.

    Moses Obama is taken from the Nile river

    5Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked along the bank; she saw the ark among the rushes and sent her maid to fetch it.

    6When she opened it, she saw the child; and behold, the baby cried. And she took pity on him and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children!

    This Obama as savior idiocy somehow slipped out of the “joke of the day” memo, into an obot journalista’s hands, and was given out as the latest obot tenet.

  • pm317

    Thank you for your comments so far. But aside from noting how journalism has died in America, I would like you to comment on the impact of ludicrous comments like Thomas’. Something tells me he is not alone in thinking/saying this — I think this is propaganda talking points released to these media whores to parrot out. If that is the case what effect will it have on other countries, their heads of state and so on.. There will be no lack of egos among those heads of state and if they see 0bama as only interested in his glory, why would they go along with him? I don’t think he has the stature to play teacher to those heads of state and say to them “children, don’t fight” like that idiot Thomas explains.

    Also weigh in on whether 0bama knows what he is doing? Do you detect a strategy here that will help root out terrorism? Don’t laugh; these are serious question.

      There are no words to describe this. It is so off the chart that I’m beginning to think it is propaganda. It is an insult to anyone with an ounce of intelligence. Chris Matthews has been the worst yet, but this latest exchange between him and Thomas is bordering on psychosis if it is for real.

      It is absolutely about his own self glory. I am aghast that anyone would speak of him as a teacher for other heads of state and referring to them as “children”. Children? 0zero himself has the mind of a child. Is this not how cult leaders get their followers in line?

      I think 0zero knows what he’s doing only to a point. His strategy is only skin deep – skin color. He is depending on looking like most of the world as his ace in the hole.

      This is byond disgusting! It is sick! It is psychopathic. Do the people at NBC, MSNBC, Newsweek, GE, et al not understand how dangerous this is? Do they not understand it is shades of Hilterism??

        I’ve got to hand it to him. He’s a fast learner because during this latest tour with Hillary leading the way, he raised his hand to his man boob on two separate occasions. Kudo’s to him for learning how to do this except he needs to raise his hand higher onto his heart and not his man boob. Watch how Hillary does it and copy her bho. That’s how it’s done. If he follows her directions, he’ll be fine.

      Pm317,

      Yesterday I went to a local store where the proprietor was watching a youtube of Obama’s recent speech while in Egypt.

      The owner is of very Yemini heritage and I am what Obama sat in a church for 20 years listening Rev. Wright railing against.

      White European Heritage…

      While he was ringing me up, we traded salutations and he says;

      Him; Did you see Obam’s speech? I’m watching it on Youtube….(the look on his face was one of abject disgust mixed with bewilderment.)
      “Is it me or is Obama ….?”
      Me; “He’s pandering”.
      Him; “What’s pandering?”
      Me; “It’s when you go brown nosing without looking behind you”
      Him: “Yea he is, I can’t believe how full of it he is.”
      Me; Kinda like Arafat, how he would say one thing to the western TV and another to Palistians..
      Him; Exactly… I was worried it was only me that thought his speech was just words. Why is he talking about what women wear?

      As there was a customer behind me, I cut short the converstion and left.

      With all sensitivity to his and my different cultural backrounds, which are 180, he and I saw the same thing.

      This does not bold well fo BO’s “overseas” policy.
      People in the middle east, if this person is any indication, are buying BO’s schtick. Even as blowhards like the one you shine a light on are calling him a god named Ra.

    pm 317: Excellent analysis as usual.

    If you compare Evan Thomas’s current ravings about Mr. Obama, namely that he is a global moral authority, with what he said about him a few months back namely that Mr. Obama is creepy, it becomes obvious that Mr. Thomas is a more than a little–how shall I put it . . schitzophrenic. Needless to say his opinions should be discounted accordingly.

    http://macsmind.com/wordpress/2008/11/07/evan-thomas-obama-slightly-creepy/

    It would appear that during the last few months Mr Thomas has taken up residence on the big media version of Fantasy Island where people in tin foil hats walk around with press badges and pretend to be journalists. They call it Tapperville. No live ammo is permitted which is just fine with good old Jake.

  • TexasMirth

    I didn’t think I could be more disgusted in a journalist than I was at Brian Williams’ fawning interview with Obama and his puppy, but Evan Thomas with his God-reference for Obama trumps Williams’ sweet good-night and puppy-love interview. Honestly, I am beginning to feel like I am in a sci-fi movie where pod-people are taking over the bodies of former humans, turning them into robotic devotees. Williams asked Obama if he CARED to comment on criticism of his date with Michelle to NYC — Obama said, “No.” And that was that. I guess Williams couldn’t bring himself to press GOD for an answer.
    Evan Thomas should be ashamed; Brian Williams should be embarrassed…but they evidently are not. Brian Williams did a nod/bow at the end of his interview. I guess that about sums it up.

      I remember Brian Williams asking Hillary during the primary, how will it feel to lose the nomination (when she was actually winning those big states) — took us a long time to see that the fix was in. I could have saved a couple of thousands of dollars if I had realized it sooner. I put too much faith in the American system. But Williams from those early days is a dog and a bootlicker.

  • Diana L. C.

    pm317,

    My answer to your questions:

    First–the talking points parrots’ effect on the world, especially its heads of state is roughly the same as the effect during the beginning of the Iraq invasion when Sadaam’s information person kept claiming Iraq’s victory while American tanks rolled by, so to speak. They will laugh as we laughed at that guy (sorry, can’t remember his name and don’t have time to look it up). American journalists have become as silly as that guy, and since it’s clear they are taking their cue from our “godlike” leader, as that guy took his from Sadaam, the rest of the world will soon laugh at us again as they became disgusted with the country bumpkin Bush.

    There is no way they can view O as a teacher–what has he done (to draw upon the comment of his wife) to make him someone we can learn from? I don’t want to learn how to cheat, to manipulate the masses. The leaders who do want to do that can certainly learn from him in that regard. But to learn anything about how to be morally superior is not possible.

    Second, in regard to whether O knows what he is doing, all I can see is that he knows how he campaigned and since he can’t know how to actually work, since he has never done that, he just keeps campaigning. The problem is that he can’t cheat the caucuses in other countries, so to speak, and he can’t set his ACORN thugs to work for him in other countries. Also, he doesn’t have Dean, Pelosi, Reid, and Brazilla to change the “voting rules” for him in other countries. He has swallowed his own myth about what a genius campaigner/speech maker he is and believes he can do the same thing across the world.

    I already read the Taliban reaction to his speech. He was deceptive, according to them. Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood called his speech “public relations.” They were absolutely right. He won’t win the “election” is my prediction.

    And sadly we have no one in the highest office of our country who knows how to lead. He certainly doesn’t not know what he is doing at all. I am afraid we’ve turned our country over to a gaggle of people who grew up having all kinds of “self esteem” simply because their mothers and teachers thought they were precious little things. They never earned real self-esteem from actually learning something, accomplishing something, or standing on principle.

    We will be considered jokes again, as we were for “electing” Bush. After twelve to sixteen years of being the laughing stock of the world, it will be terribly hard to get respect anywhere.

    pm317,

    I just tried to post and it popped off the screen when I hit the “submit,” so I hope I don’t eventually have two posts.

    I’ll try to recreate my answer to your two questions:

    As for the talking points parrots’ spouting the glories of O’s speech making, I feel their effect will be the same across the world as was the effect on American audiences of Sadaam’s information guy (can’t remember his name) standing in front of the camera claiming victory for Iraq as American tanks rolled by behind him. I cringe to think that is the case, but sadly it is.

    We will continue to be the laughing stock of the world for electing this phony as we were for electing that country bumpkin Bush.

    To claim moral authority for O is a laughable as claiming a third-grade child has moral authority because we don’t want to hurt his self-esteem. The child may have a good heart, but he hasn’t been tested and can’t claim authority. O is the same. We have him and his gaggle of advisors, young snots, who have lived their lives basking in unearned self-esteem, not standing firm because of moral authority.

    Does O know what he’s doing? All O knows is how to campaign, so he is just continuing with that strategy, as has been pointed out many times here. The problem is that he can’t game any caucuses overseas, and he can’t send out ACORN thugs overseas. Pelosi, Dean, Reid, and Brazilla can’t decide the outcome over seas either. O and his gaggle of advisors have believed the myth about their genius campaign, so they keep going with that. It won’t work.

    The Taliban has already called his speech deceptive. Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has called it nothing buy public relations. Sad to say, they’re both right.

    We are left without a leader. All we have is a public relations firm, one that is not doing a very good job of selling our “product.”

    • pm317

      Agree with you on both points and I am truly perplexed by all of this.

    • sandi78

      I disagree that O “hasn’t been tested and can’t claim authority”.

      He has indeed been tested in the area of moral authority and has failed each and every time. How could a person who has failed to display even a semblance of a moral ever show “moral authority”?

      He was tested every time he attended Rev. Wright’s “church” and failed for twenty years.

      He was tested repeatedly during the primaries and failed.

    Interesting Story PM317..

    After listening to President Obamas Unprecendented Speech in Cairo..My First Impression that He really is in to “TONE”…and the Tone of his speech there Indicates to me His somewhat Egotistical Desire to want to Be a “Saviour”…and i think he believes he has the “Juice’ to carry it off…

    He go’s to great length to point out the “Reasons” for all “Conflicts”…and what We..(The World) must Collectivally do to Resolve our Differences and solve Problems…even going out of his way to Blame the United States for helping create many of the Problems that have developed…He is Implying that He is the Total..”Anti Bush..”..and that he arrived to save the United States from the “Neo Cons”..who did nothing but Create hatred ..The Ultimate “Ugly Americans”…

    He is going to great Lengths to Cultivate The Muslim Fields and try to Use His background to Convince islam that He is One of them in Many ways..

    Thathe is indeed the “Chosen One..” Whose time has Come…His “Destiny..”..

    I think He believes he can do what Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton could Not do..Be the Rainbow Robed Guru who Brings peace to the World and the middle east..

    Some ..including in American media…treat his like Royalty…

    Some..Like Hugo..now call him “Comrade..”

    Some are so Star struck…they renamed Omaha Beach…
    “OBAMA BEACH”…This weekend..

    Some are watching every Move that Obama Makes…and call him Down Right Scary and Worrisome..

  • Peggy Sue

    Evan Thomas showed his true colors when interviewed on Paulie’s radio show several months ago. As I remember his most frequent answer was: I don’t know. I really couldn’t say.

    Therefore, any pronouncements he makes now are totally irrelevant. He doesn’t know. Anything. Which is a sad statement for someone who pretends to have his finger on the political pulse. As for Matthews? He said early on his mission was to make sure Obama was a successful president.

    And so the Big Lie continues. The country’s economy is falling apart. What do we get? Happy faces, calls for more stimulus spending and programs big enough and expensive enough to choke an elephant.

    North Korea pops off missle after missle. And what do we hear from the POTUS? Crickets. Then we’re informed we [the US] is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. Amazing! Does the press reply? Crickets, again.

    Liars, all of them. And they’re counting on the public to eat ‘em up and say each deception, error or stupid move tastes good, so good.

    Throw in the God-principle and they figure it’s a slam dunk. Who’s going to argue with God?

    Of course, you need blind faith to make the medicine go down.

    Good article, pm. The truth is a tonic, even though we read or hear it so rarely anymore.

    Matthews and Thomas should take their show and comments on the road. Like the old time rainmakers, selling lightning rids to the yokels.

    Wake up, America. Time’s running out.

  • Docelder

    I had posted in the other thread, but it would appear that Obama thinks he can do this. I am past thinking that his people are brilliant at playing the p.r. game. They aren’t. I think now, that he really believes this is his destiny, and I think most of the MSM has bought into this. It is the belief that is contagious. Maybe because we all want it so much to be true. But it isn’t true. How can a man with no moral authority, broker a peace between three branches of Abrahamic religions which each believe themselves to be the only and true religion and which have been at odds for centuries? I don’t think he can, having already said the U.S. is not a Christian nation. So, if that is the case, how can he speak for Christianity in a peace offering? Certainly he can’t do this by declaring all fundamentalist religions extremist. But, I think that is his plan. I think he intends to turn the entire world against fundamentalist religion. In it’s place, would supplant some form of socialistic humanism I would suppose. A “god is human” religion embodied in the very slogan “yes we can”. If one reads our currency, it says “in god we trust”… it never said “yes we can”. So, if this becomes the plan, then are we to expect instead of a brokered peace of the three Abrahamic religions… instead an attempted marginalization of them, a declaration to the very world that inherently they are extremist and wrong? Honestly, what this would make him if successful, I don’t even want to say. But, I don’t even think he will be successful. But, in anticipation of his imminent failure… what then is the plan? How do we repair the domestic and world damage inflicted by a Presidency with a failed messiah complex? We might start thinking about it.

    Amazing to see a cult of personality whipped up around Obama. It is because they think he represents what they believe – an authoritarian marxist, who is transforming America based on their shared ideology. They are so blinded by their own adoration that they turn a blind eye to the truth.

    But in a way this is good, because besides setting him up for a magnificent fall, finally, when the American people open their collective eyes and see Obama for what he is, what little credibility the media has right now will be in the trash as well as all his adoring sycophants –we can only hope.

    One thing the media is doing is rewriting history to pretend they were never cheerleaders for the War in Iraq. Remember the embedded journalists that went along for the ride? They acted as if they were on a crusade with our brave soldiers who were following orders. The media, on the other hand, made sure to sell what was happening to the masses as “saving the world” from Sadam. Remember all the American flags after 9/11? People are ashamed and are turning to Obama to explain that they really weren’t cheerleading for the death and destruction of a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. The media SOLD IT. The public bought it. Here we go again….

      Because it is what Obama demands and they have good reason to fear a cut off of access for being noncompliant. I’m not saying the sickening ease with which it is carried out doesn’t brings total discredit to the country and entire practice of journalism within it, but that’s really the only explanation that makes ANY sense. The media rises repeatedly like marionettes to applaud their leader in hopes of staying in the corps marching steadily behind him.

    That One is the leader of a dangerous cult of personality. A well-organized, powerful collection of people, certainly–but a cult, nevertheless. These people and their leader are as emotionally and/or mentally disturbed as those who looked to Hale-Bopp or had a compound in Waco, or ended up in Guyana. There are other parallels, including Kim Il Sung/Kim Jong Il, Hitler, Mussolini.

    This is actually a frightening turn of events since far too many in this country have opinions that are not theirs though any thought process but that are theirs because they fed to them by the news media and it didn’t start with this Presidency.

    And it is going from bad to worse. The ultimate blame-shifting for irresponsible acts of humans is to use the divine as justification. We are screwed if these deranged mouthpieces are not called on their self-evident lies.

      Yes Ferd, that is the way I see it also. I’m sure that most NQ regulars have been to this remarkable site that amply illustrates this point, but for anyone who has not, here is the link:

        I hadn’t gone there before. Wow; it’s even worse than I thought. It’s as if those who only see mediocrity, at best, in BO feel left out of the loop and so, not wanting to expose they just don’t ‘get it,’ overcompensate by extolling his mystic virtues. (See, if his superiority was so transparent then, even we would have noticed, by now.)

        • oowawa

          Yes, jbjd. For me, it’s the religious fervor surrounding Obama that has always been the most alarming thing about Thee One. When politics intentionally starts acting like religion, that’s a real warning sign to me.

      • Ferd Berfle

        I second jbjd’s wow. This must be the lowest-common denominator representing the shallowest part of the collective gene pool.

        Just what chakra does Gullibula, the Panderer represent, the sphincter?

        • oowawa

          HaHa. Yep, that seems to be the right chakra. By the way, I love the graphic on the obamamessiah site for the OMbama yoga classes. I have to say, “Obama” is really a flexible name!

    pm,

    Brilliant analysis.

    I won’t write more than that coz my post will probably not show up.

    :cry:

  • Ferd Berfle

    Where can a person write to this Evan Thomas creature to voice disagreement with his comparison of That One with the Deity? His mailbox should be overflowing with protestations to the contrary. Hell, I wouldn’t mind sending Mr. Tingly a line, either for allowing such dreck to go unchallenged.

    That the trolls are here even making a half-hearted attempt a justifying this melodramatic statement from a journalist in name only confirms my belief that they are paid to post, or worse, that they actually do believe he is the Messiah. I can see the need to make a buck so they can buy their next bottle of Night Train or Thunderbird and can excuse them for that. On the other hand, actually believing that POTUS is God or an incarnation thereof uniquely qualifies them for a padded room with long white robes and extra-long sleeves for appropriate attire. One or the other, trolls–take your pick.

      how can this trash be condoned.bo is beyond sickening.
      we truly are an AMERICAN IDOL mentality
      by the way i don’t watch the idol.

  • OMG

    Evan Thomas showed his true colors when interviewed on Paulie’s radio show several months ago. As I remember his most frequent answer was: I don’t know. I really couldn’t say.

    He is sooo in the tank for that one. He was trying to fake being fair but it didn’t work.
    He is a scary person. He clearly denied witnessing sexism & mysogyny like he didn’t notice (and his own mysogyny is obvious). Same meme as howie dean and the other obots. evan thomas is annoying at best. He joins the ranks of those men who would not vote for a woman no matter what. They only vote for dem dudes no matter what. How unfair.

  • Scranton4Hillary

    Outrageous symbolism. The Great Pretender is no messiah. Christ showed great humility, compassion, and love for all people. Christ never put himself above others. He lived a life of complete sacrifice, healing all who those sought His intervention, teaching and spreading the word of God through parables and example. His prayerful ministry was totally selfless. He never sought the adoration or adulation of the people. Nor did he desperatley seek power or position.
    Christ was all about helping/saving God’s people. Mr. Obama is all about promoting himself and his ego.
    It breaks my heart that our nation continues to be duped by this fraud/fake.
    He is what he does.

  • bri2234

    I don’t believe it is cult personality as it may be that these men are attracted and in love with Obama.
    Sure the statement is politically incorrect but it has to be explored. I do wonder?. So if that case then they are just human and who they are but if they unable to control their emotions and be objective and informative journalist, they need to stop pretending.

    • oowawa

      Well, it is springtime, and love is in the air, as they say, so it’s no wonder that hearts flutter when Thee One walks by in slo-mo, flashing that incredible smile–

      Why do birds suddenly appear
      Every time you are near?
      Just like me, they long to be
      Close to you.

      Why do stars fall down from the sky
      Every time you walk by?
      Just like me, they long to be
      Close to you . . .

      I can feel the tingles in my shoe getting ready to crawl up my leg just thinking about it. Sigh. Only trouble is, there is bound to be a lot of unrequited love turning to vengeful bitterness when the God of Love ultimately disappoints. You can feign omnipotence, but at the end of the day, you have to deliver the goods . . .

        LMAO. Yeah, just like he did in southside Chicago. It is a lovely place, now.

  • EWard

    Forget the trolls! They have returned to their pods.

    What’s important is convincing about a third of the American people that FraudObama is systematically destroying our economy. These are the ones just working everyday and not reading blogs. Obama is a cult figure. Listen to his speeches at D-Day or the University talk about foreign policy. He is always evoking his family. What the heck does that have to do with our security or well being?

    Let’s not waste our time responding to any Obots including the Baghdad Bob media!

    • pm317

      Eward, I don’t think it is a waste. We have to respond to register our protest.

  • EWard

    Right now, BO, the Dems, and media are trying to marginalize the opposition. Protest can come in many forms. What would really be effective is having half the work force in this country go on a nationwide strike for a day or more. I’m talking about calling in sick, turning off the left wing media, and trying to stop commerce.

    Until BO is impeached, the media and the Obots will spin their lies.

  • Texas Playwright

    Hey, Nancy Pelosi, can we put impeachment back on the table?

  • http://noquarterusa No-nonsense-Nancy

    Evan Thomas is beyond discusting. Even if the oligarchy of this world, the Bilderbergers or the Pilgram Society, do manage to create a New World Order why does the fraud think they would make him king of it? None of the world leades have any respect for him. He’s the laughing stock of the rest of the world. His ego is bigger than the world he wants to rule. Even if he would become world leader then what would he aspire to be, ruler of the universe? That may be a good idea, actually. We could just send him off to Mars.

    Acts 12:21-23

    On an appointed day Herod, having put on his royal apparel, took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them.
    The people kept crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
    And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

    • oowawa

      Should this event ever come to pass while Thee One is speaking, I hope Chris Matthews is covering it live . . . I can hear it now:

      Oh my God! The Worms came from out of nowhere and are covering his eyes! They’re coming out of his mouth! This is disgusting! My leg will never more tingle ever again!

    Well, well, looks like Homeland Security got it right when they predicted more acts by white supremacists and other right wing nut groups since we now have a half-black president. The Holocaust Museum was the site today of an unstable old man acting out based on the type of speech I so often see on this blog. Words matter and if anything ever happens to our President, I’m glad we’ll have a record of those who posted the insulting, vile messages I so often see here.
