File this one under “Deluded Expectations.” During MSNBC’s coverage of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, daytime anchor Alex Witt seemed frustrated that the election of Barack Obama 23 days earlier — and the accompanying “global outpouring of affection, respect, hope” — had not caused an end to terrorist violence.

Talking with correspondent John Yang, who was covering the Obama side of the story, Witt conceded that while “you certainly can’t expect things to change on a dime overnight....There had been such a global outpouring of affection, respect, hope, with the new administration coming in, that precisely these kinds of attacks, it was thought — at least hoped — would be dampered down. But in this case it looks like Barack Obama is getting a preview of things to come.”

further proof of the delusional messiah complex nearly every follower of obama has

You know, the inevitable succession of let-downs may actually be fun to watch.

Have you heard? People nostalgic for the days of JFK, are callling the new administration "Bamalot". :laugh2:

People tend to look at the Kennedy presidency through rose tinted glasses. The reality is, it wasn't that successful.

Indeed, one of the worst in modern times. However, there really were reasons to think he may have been learning, but cut short. Hard to tell though, with the drug use and all...

Well, not really my point. Regardless of the truth, "they" think he was great, and they are comparing Obama favorably to him before he is even inaugurated.

This is typical of MSNBC. Like Chris Matthews, she is not afraid to show what a twit she is on national TV

Be careful what you ask for when you ask how stupid people can get. Because there is always someone who is willing to show you.

Which tells me that, should he turn out to be an abysmal failure, his chances of forever being viewed favorably are very good.

exactly, this guy has done nothing so far, oh wait, he quit his day job and is unemployed, probably living off his over half billion dollar "contributions" to his candidacy

[Kathianne]

No matter what, Obama will be a success. It's imperative history wise, that the first Black president be successful.

Good point.

[Kathianne]

Good point.

No matter his good or bad, it will be good. No way, no how is the first Black president going to fail.

Libs continue to tell us how great Pres Carter was - so yes - libs will tell us Obama 's adminstration was a success no matter how badly he fails

Which is why their radios stations and newspapers are failing.

Which is why they demand the Fairness Doctrine. If people do not choose to listen/read their talking points, the Dem government will force them to listen/read them

Well, we can't really have Bamalot with any dissenting voices now, can we?

Indeed. The comparisons to Carter or any WHITE presidents are for nought. It's not Obama's fault, rather the consensus of the left.

Joseph Goebbels felt the same way Abbey.
