The Trauma of Obama
The American Thinker ^ | October 07, 2009 | Robin of Berkeley

Posted on 10/07/2009 2:26:43 AM PDT by Scanian

A new, conservative friend cracks up when she hears my phone message. As a therapist, I'm required to state, "If this is a psychiatric emergency, please call 911."

Roaring with laughter, she says, "Robin, the whole country is having a psychiatric emergency!"

And she's right, because people running this country are off: off balance, off-world, off-putting, off their meds.

Gallows humor, a knot in your stomach when Obama speaks, poor sleep. Your body is telling you that something is wrong.

Even out here, things are starting to feel spooky. While it's always weird central in Berkeley, now there's a malaise in the air.

Yes, there are plenty of people so far into the communist schtick, they would gladly sacrifice their children, their granny, and their life savings for the Left.

Well, she was on a roll until she quoted Maya Angelou.

Oh, dear. the Lefties are beginning to realize their version of the American dream is a Communist tyrannical life-destroying nightmare. It’s going to be a bitch facing reality when you’ve lived on self-imposed delusions all your life.

This is a spectacularly brilliant essay and very accurate concerning the mood of folks in my community. People are sick of the corruption and they are sick of those elected officials who refuse to speak out against the atrocities and the breaking of our Constitution going on almost every day. I believe if any part of that health care bill passes (which is the straw devised to break the back of America) it will be the spark which ignites the fire for real. Thank you, Robin, for seeing the light and for using your talent to help us guard our freedom.

Cut her some slack, she is a recovering liberal.

Get over it. We’ve survived 4 years of Carter, we’ll survive the obamian years too. The question is only how much will we suffer during this period.

A retiree told me yesterday that she didn’t know one person who wasn’t scared to death of Obama and what he’s been doing.

I think Maya Angelou was a shrewd choice.

Very articulate and accurate. She put into words exactly what many are feeling. Obama and what is going on literally makes me sick.

As I’ve commented many times here, I believe that the Obamanoids are cutting the old folks loose from the Dhimmi coalition and don’t care what happens to them.

There are millions of illegal aliens who can serve as able replacements and will gripe a lot less at town halls and tea parties.
