Obama: 'Sort of God' (or Better?)

Evan Thomas, the editor of Newsweek, is impressed with how Obama has risen above being merely American and has achieved deity, or whatever it is that comes above deity.

You can tell your grandchildren what these days were like.
They won't believe you.

Gee, if Obama is 'sort of God', can't he figure out a way to throw lightning bolts at the evil people commiting murder in his name? How about causing the thieves of Wall Street to break out in boils?

Gag me with a spoon, as we used to say...good thing the mainstream media isn't slanted liberal, eh?

This is the moral and spiritual consequence of our own indolence. We have annexed our responsibilities to this 'sort of God'.

We are hoping he can take care of us. Do we realize that this deformed relationship of citizen and state will result in the loss of our freedom?

Just like GM, when we choose bailouts from big government, we also lose our independence.

That's right. And the slow boil of American society has been in action since the 1920's.
