Obama: More Catholic than the Pope but mostly just because he is God

The praise and adoration surrounding President Obama is unprecedented in American politics. That is, if you are watching the mainstream media. Americans in general seem to be starting to wake up to his brand of socialism. Rasmussen reports that his approval index has fallen to it's lowest rate yet, -7% (Obama Approval Number at New Low). This number is due to his policies, how every President should be judged. People largely don't understand cap and trade but they understand nationalized health care means higher taxes. They understand that the stimulus never stimulated. His talk of "saved jobs" rings hollow as the unemployment rate reaches 10%.

So how does the mainstream media respond, keeping in mind that they savaged Bush's economic policies when the unemployment rate was below 5%? They say he is more Catholic than the Pope (Why Barack Obama represents American Catholics better than the pope does. ). They call him "sort of God" If I had to speculate, Chris Matthews' leg tingle is probably unabated and possibly in overdrive.



Now to be fair, there are wackos on both sides. One moment that made me uncomfortable with some people's perception of Bush was on the documentary "Jesus Camp" in which there were cardboard cutouts of the then-President which children adulated. But the kids were not reporters and the entire exercise was roundly mocked in the media. This IS the media adulating Obama! Some in alternative media, notably Newsbusters, have mocked the media for this ridiculousness but it continues on. This is more than an annoyance, it is downright dangerous. On June 24, ABC anchored the news from inside the White House and aired a health care special that was purely a propaganda video explaining the "benefits" of nationalized healthcare. ABC even refused to allow opposing voices buy airtime in the form of commercials
(ABC REFUSES PAID ADS OFFERING ALTERNATIVE VIEWPOINT FOR WHITE HOUSE HEALTH CARE PROGRAM ). Does anyone believe ABC would have aired a special explaining the benefits of privatizing Social Security during the Bush years?

When the evening news is nothing more than an ideological extension of Obama, is there any doubt to why there ratings have sunk to all time lows across the board?
