According to liberal source "Politico", President Obama held a meeting on October 8, with "conservative journalists" Charles Krauthammer, Paul Gigot, Kathleen Parker, Byron York, and Robert Costa. The meeting was described as "off-the-record". When questioned about that meeting the next evening by Bret Baier of Fox News, Krauthammer gave no real information.
This is worrisome news because Krauthammer graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1975 with his MD and was board certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1984. As recently as 2009, President Obama called upon Krauthammer's medical stature, inviting Krauthammer to a signing ceremony involving bioethics. Krauthammer, who has in the past given his medical support for euthanasia, declined the invitation citing differences on cloning.
The president has displayed alarmingly bad judgment in recent months. Bizarre equivocation is the only way to describe Obama's disastrous approach to Syria after reports of WMDs atrocities. Saving face through the intervention of Vladimir Putin, the President afterwards pushed his media teams to retell the actual events of his Syrian embarrassment in larger than life, self-congratulatory terms.
The list of unusual decisions involving the so-called, government shutdown continues to grow. He has ordered WWII vets barricaded out of their Washington DC memorial. He has ordered the Vietnam Wall barricaded to prevent Vietnam Vets from visiting. He has allowed illegal aliens to use the very locations he has forbidden the veterans to use. He has ordered no benefits be paid for heroes killed overseas, and just today had to reverse that position following a huge, public outcry. The timing of these horrendous, public relations stumbles amidst a shutdown debate has pro-Obama pundits sprinting to cover for him, and even has his friends scratching their heads over his bizarre decision making. A plunging approval rating suggests the American people are beginning to see the unusual behavior on the part of the president.
Petulance describes the Obama refusal to recognize that the House of Representatives, also an elected body in the American governmental system, is only doing its job when it says they do not want to increase his credit card limit. Slinging charges of extortion and blackmail at a governmental body doing its job of controlling his exploding credit card spending, the president again is alarmingly petty, overwrought, isolated, and ominously excitable .
These are just a few of the oddities making one wonder why, under cover of "conservative journalism", the White House invited a psychiatrist to an "off-the-record" meeting. Such a meeting allows both plausible deniability, and the reliability of medical confidentiality. Even if leaked, the decision to use "conservative journalists" as the cover would provide an immediate counter to what Obama’s inner circle could call an attack by political enemies. Since the meeting was "off-the-record", there is also no means of verifying any "off-the-record" private sessions with the president.
In short, the White House invited a brilliant psychiatrist. The president has been making odd, obstinate, embarrassing, and unfathomable decisions.
The Constitution provides in the 25th Amendment, Section. 4. "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President."
Obama isn’t in charge, Jarrett is and she answers to Soros et.al.
Obama doesn’t have to be sane.....he just has to do what the Iranian
shadow president tells him to do. She is the one with her hand up
his ass controlling him.
Sociopaths do not voluntarily consult psychiatrists. Anyway, Krauthammer is not a psychotherapist. Anyway, therapist or not, one meeting is not enough to achieve anything. There can be no doubt that Obama is already consuming a complicated mix of psychoactive drugs, some by prescription and some apparently not, and he has access to the best medical and mental health care in the world, so why bring Krauthammer in?
His mental illness is what makes him a good Democrat —
I would hope that since a shrink is in order Obama and
all walkingDeadocrat legislators could get the group
rate. Unfortunately there is no treasury money to pay
for it.
He's always slipped on occasion and shown his face, particularly when he's actually, been....you know....challenged. Now, as his fraud and pretense to being a competent manager who knows how to accomplish things crumbles, he can't stop himself from being the thin skinned fool he is.
Interesting article, however something tells me if Obama wanted to see a Psychologist it wouldn’t be Krauthammer.
Retrograde Clown Prince nobama is probably heavily sedated much of the time. I believe he should be on suicide watch. None-the-less, he should be in prison.
Krauthammer was very close-mouthed about the meeting on Fox this evening - very strange....

That struck me, too. He said something about being bound not to speak.....medical confidentiality oath?
Was that when he caught himself starting to say that he's always right, then paused, and then said that he's not always right?
I saw a clip of that. Unusual. His first inclination was to stand on his own sense of perfectness, but his political sense heard those words before they escaped his mouth.
It was a journalists off the record meeting. If Obama was seeking psych counseling, he would gave found a rabid liberal doctor who would die for him. They are out there..
Can’t trust anyone who would be credible and on his side
Yeah. He was doing the usual shuck and jive. He was admitting he had faults, by saying he was faultless. He views Michelle as meaningless. Reggie is all that matters to him. And Reggie thinks he has no faults.
Michelle has been silenced lately.
What’s up with that?
I doubt seriously that Krauthammer was there in a medical capacity which would have required any allegiance to professional confidentially, especially since he was apparently there with a bunch of other journalists - that’s what makes it so mysterious to me - what could Obama and a group of conservatives be cooking up that would require secrecy - inquiring minds want to know.....
Silence means cover for something, and one of the somethings that is on the list of possibilities is psychiatry. And, there are always wheels within wheels. Advisors could be hiding Krauthammer’s presence among a bunch of “conservative journalists”, but they could also be secretly soliciting Krauthammer’s observations of the president.
Obama thinks it’s only about conservative journalists.
Some aide (secret service?) might want a professional to observe the man.
There is no doubt, Intolerant, that he is acting bizarre. The whole thing with Fisher House defies reason. Let “Fisher” fund it and we’ll reimburse him, or whatever that deal is.
That, my friend, is an unbalanced decision. I don’t care who you are. It’s bizarre.
“Behavior too bizarre.”
Not bizarre when considering he’s being controled by Satan. And he is.
It sure makes you wonder, doesn’t it, about the relationship between bizarre and evil?
