ABC Suggests Viewing Obama ‘A Religious Experience’
On the Obama Messiah watch, in the last half-hour of ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday, anchor Chris Cuomo interviewed photographer Pete Souza who has a new book of Obama photographs. In addition to cooing over photos of the Obama daughters and Obama with the Kennedys, Cuomo highlighted photos of women looking adoringly at Obama: “And now, of course, the insight you’re able to capture out on the trail. You say, it’s so much like a religious experience for people as they meet him. Let’s see the view that you get. Look at them with their hands clasped.” Hallowed be thy name, Barack?
Before that, Cuomo saw ”a continuum of leadership” from Abe Lincoln to Martin Luther King to Obama. Souza highlighted a rather pedestrian photo of Obama reading a magazine in his office, strangely touting his ability to relax. (Like so few Americans can?
Yeah, the Messiah image is all a Right Wing Plot, right?
It felt like a very warm Democratic family gathering at ABC, the supposedly nonpartisan news outlet.
