Gosh people make me laugh

How the hell did people put this much trust in a man who came from no where?
Well ---- obviously she doesn't believe Jesus was the first Messiah, but like a typical liberal, she would have seen Bill Clinton as a Messiah. That would make Obama the second Messiah.

I wonder who are in the 43% who approve of Obama's performance; how deluded they are when he's been caught in lie after lie, scandal after scandal. How his signature legislation is a disaster. How US casualties in Afghanistan have skyrocketed since he took office. Drones, domestic spying, targeting political enemies, record numbers on food stamps, etc. Nixon's approval rating was only 14% lower AFTER Watergate. With how much hanging over Obama's head, it's amazing and very disturbing how so many people have convinced themselves he's a great President.

It seems no matter how bad things get, there's a certain segment who legitimately think things are going well because they want to protect Obama's legacy no matter what.

Barbara Walters on Obama:
If she really said that, she's an idiot.
Someone of her age, with her previous experience as an actual journalist would/should know better than to believe that of any politician, doesn't matter how charismatic.

I never believed Mr. Obama was anything other than better than the alternative either time I voted for him.
That's all.

And, yes, I still believe it.

Are you really so partisan as to not have noticed that Obama gets quite a lot of pushback in trying to run this country LIKE A DEMOCRAT?! The net result of filibuster and partisan gridlock is sometimes nothing. As I said, and I didn't stutter. IMO it would be better to actually RUN THE COUNTRY than to run down the man running the country. If you don't want to consider UHC for the unwashed masses, then do not, under any circumstances, allow Progressives to get control of the White House. If you fail to prevent that, then you will have to contend with the distasteful task of sabotaging their efforts at health care reform, environmental advocacy, Medicare expansion, infrastructure improvement and <gasp> Climate Change.

Centrist, leftie, extremist. It doesn't matter. Obama had to lie to get re-elected and he had to lie about Obamacare. He couldn't "build that" so the majority would like it and want to buy it. He had to FORCE his piece of crap.

The liberal media and celebrities sold him to the people as a messiah. It could be words, it can be images, it can be chants, anyone who dare speak out against him is demonized, called terrorist, racist, the list goes on.

It is very dangerous when the media doesn't do their job. It is dangerous when the media promotes any person to cult like status. The desperate and poor bought into it.

Jamie Foxx caused referred to President Barack Obama as "our lord and savior Barack Obama"

Even a narcissist like Obama can't go around calling himself Messiah or god-like.

The Obama-cult was like nothing I've seen before. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas summed up the worship pretty well when he said ---

"In a way Obama is standing above the country, above the world. He's sort of GOD. He's going to bring all different sides together."

The media stood with him for 5 years and in no way will throw him under the bus.

When one has abandoned objectivity, one has entered the realm of fanatacism.

Really, all liberals?

Not this one, bud.

He was put on a platform and his ego is big enough that he believed it himself.
