Barbara Walters made an appearance Piers Morgan’s show this Tuesday. She was giving her opinion as to why President Obama had not lived up to the hype.
“We thought that he was going to be – I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime, but – the next messiah,” she told Morgan.
The response came after Morgan asked why Obama has faced so much opposition, and “Why is he struggling so much to really fulfill the great flame of ambition and excitement that he was elected on originally in 2009?”
“He made so many promises,” she began. “We thought that he was going to be – I shouldn’t say this at Christmastime, but – the next messiah. And the whole Obamacare, or whatever you want to call it, that Affordable Health Act, it just hasn’t worked for him, and he’s stumbled around on it, and people feel very disappointed because they expected more.”
She added: “It’s very difficult when the expectations for you are very high. You’re almost better off when they are low and then they rise and rise.”
Notice that it is not the policy or the underlying beliefs that are at fault, but President Obama’s execution of them. I argue that President Obama has been quite successful in implementing the liberal or progressive agenda and that it is the principles that are to blame because they are flawed and non biblical.
