Conservatives have long joked that the national press corps see Barack Obama as the second coming of Jesus Christ. Today, Newsweek – at least what’s left of it, an online product for tablets and e-readers – made it official.

Next to a side shot of Obama’s head, the “Inauguration 2013” cover story pronounces: “The Second Coming.”

It’s an article by long-time Newsweek veteran Evan Thomas, who left the magazine after Tina Brown took over from the Washington Post Company and folded the debt-ridden publication into her Daily Beast site.

Back in June of 2009, naturally on MSNBC, Thomas asserted: “In a way, Obama’s standing above the country, above — above the world. He’s sort of God. He’s going to bring all different sides together.

I'm not sure that conservatives were 'joking' about leftists' seeing Obama as their Messiah, but Newsweek has been the most pathetic, slobbering, worshipper outside of Chris Matthews.

I wonder if they have a clue as to how ridiculous they look.....

I'm starting a news/TV/media ban at my house which will last until Tuesday. If, on Tuesday, I find the slobber-fest continuing, the ban will be extended. He-wh0-must-not-be-named will not invade the sanctity of my home. At least for this weekend.
