Speaking on Hardball, Evan Thomas slipped and said what he actually thinks. Usually journalists won’t allow themselves to say something like this out loud:
In a way, Obama is standing above the country. Above– above the world. He’s sort of God.
In context, he was comparing Obama to Reagan, who, being a mortal, was concerned with America. Obama is above that. According to Thomas, that’s a good thing.
