Evan Thomas (re: barry): “He’s sort of God!”

June 11, 2009

No kidding.

I haven’t read anything at NEWSWEEK since we started this blog in August (moving here to WordPress in mid-December) and it appears they are as – I really don’t know how to characterize it anymore. It’s gone on too long to still be considered a mancrush or a lovefest. I guess it’s a full blown cultish delusion. Don’t these people have anyone living with them in the real world to orient them as to their madness?

EVAN THOMAS is as enthralled as ever. He still believes barry is actually who NEWSWEEK has propagandized him to be: the obamessiah! The one the cosmos has been waiting for. The one who will make the oceans rise up and celestial choirs sing! The one who will bring Muslims and Jews together in harmony.

Here he is on Hardball with another poor delusioned soul, Chris Matthews, who agrees with him.

EVAN THOMAS:

We were the good guys in 1984 – it hasn’t felt that way in recent years – so Obama’s had really a different task. We’re seen too often as the bad guys, and he has a very different job than Reagan. Reagan was all about America, and he talked about it.

Obama is ‘we are above that now’. We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something – I mean in a way Obama is standing above the country, above the world. He’s sort of God. He’s gonna bring all different sides together.
