What Is With Our President?
The National Review's Campaign Spot ^ | October 3, 2014 | Jim Geraghty

From the last Morning Jolt of the week:

What Is With Our President?

Contemplating President Obama’s confident – and erroneous – assurance that Ebola was unlikely to reach America, and that if it did, America’s hospitals and doctors were prepared to diagnose and respond immediately — a veteran speechwriter for cabinet officials wrote in:

In the times that I was involved in speeches for various folks in the previous administration they and those around him were highly attuned to hyperbole and statements such the one Obama made about Ebola. Now people can crack wise about Iraqi intelligence and the like, but from my experience those officials and senior advisers I dealt with always were asking: “Is this right?” “Should I be saying this?” “Can I say this? Or should I say be saying it another way?” “I don’t want to be out on that limb.” I get no sense that anyone over there [in the Obama White House] ever asks those questions — about speeches, timing of remarks, guests who surround him for said utterances, etc....

Explanation Five: He's an illicit, illegal, illegitimate squatter in the White House who sympathizes with (and outright supports, when possible) our Muslim enemies and wants to see the complete dismantling of the American way of life.

(this, and a little of Explanation Three, as well).

I agree with you.

He is wrong about Ebola.

Stop flying in people from countries with the outbreak.

Stop it. Right now.

I wonder how many white elementary school kids are going to have to get paralyzed or die before obama has to face a very mad, very determined dad?

Mr. Geraghty,

Mr. Obola may be YOUR President but he is not mine!

He’s very evil.

We’re going to see some kind of showdown and it will be ugly.

Either US or him survives the next 27 months.

What is with our president?
Start with "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)".

Also, technically, according to the requirements as laid down in the Constitution, we have no president.

Birds of a feather flock together....

...and some of them (of the family Diomedeidae) are coming home to roost.

Diomedeidae = Albatross (for those in Rio Linda)

Obama's only objective - to finish the work of his idealogical forebears.

We are being prepared to finish it properly.

He has no interest in the responsibilities of being President - he just likes being a celebrity.

The left can say anything they want, because they know the media will give them cover.

It is unlikely that Obama will ever have to face or even converse with somebody who will say anything he doesn’t want to hear. He lives in a bubble and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
