A Decade Of Drooling Over Obama


The drooling dates back to 2004.

Newsbusters has a comprehensive list of smarmy utterances indicative of the Cult of Obama...Farewell to a Decade of Media Drooling Over Barack Obama (emphases those of Newsbusters):
From the moment then-state senator Barack Obama showed up on the national stage to address the Democratic convention in 2004, the news media were in love. “Obama is a rock star,” NBC’s Andrea Mitchell exclaimed during MSNBC’s live convention coverage back on July 27, 2004. The next morning, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos echoed Mitchell’s enthusiasm: “He’s the Tiger Woods of the Democratic Party right now.”

When Obama ran for President four years later, news reporters led the cheers. “It’s almost hard to remain objective because it’s infectious, the energy, I think,” then-NBC reporter Lee Cowan confessed in an MSNBC.com video posted January 7, 2008. On CNN a few days later, Politico editor John Harris admitted: “A couple years ago, you would send a reporter out with Obama, and it was like they needed to go through detox when they came back — ‘Oh, he’s so impressive, he’s so charismatic,’ and we’re kind of like, ‘Down, boy.’”

As a candidate, the Associated Press celebrated Obama as “something special,” while as President-elect, the Washington Post drooled over his “chiseled pectorals,” on display during a vacation in Hawaii. As President, reporters touted his “prodigious talents,” his “amazing legislative agenda,” and his “huge achievements.” And as an individual, journalists fawned over Obama, calling him “one of our brightest presidents,” a “huge visionary,” “the perfect American,” “our national poet,” and “the most noble man who has ever lived in the White House.”

With the Democratic Party defeated, ObamaCare set for repeal, and incoming President Donald Trump poised to revoke a host of his executive orders, Obama’s actual legacy will likely fall far short of what his media fan club once imagined. But one aspect of his place in history seems secure: Barack Obama has been the lucky recipient of more biased, positive “news” media coverage than any other President in history.

Here are some examples from the past decade, starting with a video montage of the audio and video quotes detailed below....
Read the rest HERE.

November 2010 Newsweek cover:


Ten days until January 20. But Barack Hussein Obama will be waiting in the wings and still uttering his words of "wisdom." The mainstream media and other members of the Cult of Obama will lap up every word and drool some more — even as his political legacy is gutted.

End Presidential Term Limits?


Get a load of THIS!

Final paragraph:
It’s time to put that power back where it belongs. When Ronald Reagan was serving his second term, some Republicans briefly floated the idea of removing term limits so he could run again. The effort went nowhere, but it was right on principle. Barack Obama should be allowed to stand for re election just as citizens should be allowed to vote for — or against — him. Anything less diminishes our leaders and ourselves.

EPASEZ:

Whenever you think you are being paranoid, you are not paranoid enuf.

I don’t even have the words… but I do have the CHILLS.
As James Taranto said this AM, we would be so much better off if the IRS could steal another one for Obama…

Vilifying Us To Our Children?

From the Daily Caller:
Obama biography, required reading, tells fourth-graders that white Americans are racists

...The Obama biography [charges] that white Americans did not want to vote for Obama because of his skin color. However, it neatly explains, America’s 44th president was able to bring everybody together in blissful unity....
Much more at the above link.

So, what's going on in the school that YOUR child attends?

In a few years, you won't be able to have any political conversation with your own child(ren). Disbelieve me at your own peril.

The Apostleship Of Barack Obama?

Before long, it will be blasphemy to criticize Barack Hussein Obama (from the Daily Caller with a hat tip to Debbie of Right Truth):
Book compares Obama to Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King

Looking for something to read as Thanksgiving approaches? Or a unique take on what has made President Barack Obama such a successful politician? Or perhaps an explanation of Obama as an apostle and his “politics as religion?”

You could check out “The Gospel According to Apostle Barack” by Barbara Thompson (AuthorHouse 2012). The mouthful of the book’s subtitle is: “In Search of a More Perfect Political Union as Heaven Here on Earth.”

The book’s thesis is that Obama is not just the 43rd president of the United States. Much more than that, he’s an apostle akin to Martin Luther King, Jr. or even Jesus Christ.

According to Thompson, she began to have a series of unusual dreams as she formulated ways to help Obama win the 2012 presidential election:


I learned that Jesus walked the earth to create a more civilized society, Martin (Luther King) walked the earth to create a more justified society, but, Apostle Barack, the name he was called in my dreams, would walk the earth to create a more equalized society, for the middle class and working poor. Apostle Barack, the next young leader with a new cause, had been taken to the mountaintop and allowed to see over the other side.

The stated goal of Thompson’s book is to “unlock the answers” contained within Obama’s numerous speeches, so that “his followers” may have a guide “to creating and living in the reality of a middle class lifestyle that was so economically and ethically sound that it appeared to be ‘heaven here on earth.’”

The author, a professor, is a member of the physical education faculty at Florida A&M University.

The 220-page book provides an in-depth assessment of Obama’s political ideas, according to The Famuan, the student newspaper at Florida A&M.

The book also breaks down the policy accomplishments of Obama’s first term, including Obamacare, the economy and education. Thompson calls these various initiatives the “Good news” from the apostle, The Famuan reports.

Thompson’s son, Gibran, initially motivated her to write the book. He was badly hurt in an accident, and Thompson prayed for him to be healed.

Once Gibran did, in fact, recover, she dreamed that the spirit of God instructed her to take a journey with Obama. God’s spirit called Obama an apostle in the dream.
