Newsweek editor Evan Thomas delivered this revealing comment when previewing the president's speech on the anniversary of D-Day Last June:
Reagan was all about America .... Obama is 'we are above that now.' We're not just parochial, we're not just chauvinistic, we're not just provincial. We stand for something -- I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above -- above the world. He's sort of God.
