For the record, he was not saying that Obama is God, but rather that he is attempting to a play an almost God-like role in trying to bringing all sorts of countries together for peace. It was probably a bad analogy, but this is ridiculous.

Yes, because of course one quote from one person is "proof positive" of the opinions of an entire group of people. I see you didn't exactly pass Logical Reasoning 101.

     It is pretty shocking how many people have such a high opinion of Obama, even though I doubt many of them actually think of Obama as God.

The rest of the article would have been nice.  Then, we could see how facetious the author is being.

That said, I agree with PiT.

CARL tends not to post urls with the articles he posts, so we often have to take his skewed context.

Interesting story: Evan Thomas is Norm "FF" Thomas' grandson.

You can't control what other people read and why would you read something twice if you thought the author thought Obama was God?  This is a non-issue.
