This little gem must have occurred before the Forum existed though I had never heard about it until pursuing links at the Lena Dunham thread.

"Last night, in a particularly refreshing moment of candor, Barbara Walters shared her disillusion over the ObamaCare failure.

During an interview with Piers Morgan, she was asked why President Obama didn’t live up to his hype. This is a question that would not need to be directed at any conservative, because every conservative knew from the beginning that he wouldn’t live up to his hype.

“He made so many promises,” Walters said. “We thought that he was going to be − I shouldn’t say this at Christmas time − but the next Messiah.”

Actually, Ms. Walters should refrain from calling Barack Obama “the next Messiah” at any time, not just Christmas time.

However, we do appreciate the acknowledgement of her partisanship. She said “we”.

Of course, by “we” she means 1) anyone caught up in the excitement of a good looking Presidential candidate who was basically an empty suit back in 2008 and 2) every member of the lamestream media, including herself."

Liberals are such sad, empty little people. Their ideology will always degenerate into a "cult of personality" whether it be FDR, JFK, or a Barack. They invest all of their hopes and dreams into some (to them) charismatic individual and then begin to treat him like the object of a teenage girl's infatuation, perfect, blameless, above criticism. The adults in the room just don't understand him.

I doubted this was real when I read the headline but there is video at the link which proves she did.
