Diane Sawyer Worships Barack Obama

Posted by Lonely Conservative On November - 21 - 2008

At the bottom of the hour on Good Morning America Diane Sawyer reverently read a passage from an essay Barack Obama wrote three years ago. It’s kind of creepy. Why don’t members of the main stream media just come right out and say they will no longer report news? They should just state that for the next four years they will do nothing but cheer on The One. They may actually gain some credibility.

H/T Newsbusters.

Transript:

DIANE SAWYER: But, we’re going to take a second. Because, there was something that made us all stop and think. And you know, it’s 60 days now. 60 days until the inauguration of a new president. And we were thinking what it would be like to be a president-elect facing that incredible responsibility. And we saw that President-elect Obama has a favorite photograph, which he looks at. And here are the words that he wrote in Time magazine. An essay. These are his words about that face and why it inspires him. ‘As I look at his picture, it’s the man and not the icon that speaks to me. It is those imperfections and the painful self-awareness of those failings etched in every crease of his face and reflected in those haunted eyes that make him so compelling. For when the time came to confront the greatest moral challenge this nation has ever faced, this all-too human man did not pass the challenge on to future generations. But I marvel at what gives me such hope is that this man could overcome depression, self-doubt and the constraints of biography and not only act decisively, but retain his humanity. He did not know how things would turn out. But he did his best.’ And I love that sentence. ‘He did not pass the challenges on to a future generation.’
