Shut Up, He Explained
Power Line ^ | August 7, 2009 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 08/08/2009 3:55:57 PM PDT by yoe

Earlier today, I'd intended to do a post with that title commenting on Barack Obama's (outrageous, arrogant remark:)

But I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them, but don't do a lot of talking.

By the "folks who created the mess," I suppose he doesn't mean Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and their fellow Democrats who have controlled Congress for the last 2 1/2 years. Nor, presumably, does he mean himself; yet I can't recall Obama ever identifying a single measure that he opposed as a back-bench senator that somehow contributed to current economic problems.

But Obama lacks any such self-knowledge. By "the folks who created this mess," whom he wants to shut up, he no doubt means Republicans and others who oppose his government medicine scheme and other crackpot plans.

I meant to do this post, but instead I went to a movie (500 Daus of Summer) with my wife and two of my kids; I recommend it. So (so Glenn Renyolds) beat me to the post title; others may have as well. But we can't repeat the message too often. Barack Obama is an arrogant would-be machine boss who fundamentally fails to understand representative democracy, perhaps because of his below-average knowledge of history, which we've noted on a number of occasions. Fortunately, "shut up" is not yet a winning political argument. Not in the United States of America, anyway.

This stupid remark by Obama has been posted earlier, however, I don't think you can be reminded enough what an absolute jerk this dangerous community organizer is - he surely isn't even close to being the man a United States President should be.,,Obama is just a Chicago Style Bully....ever wonder why those who started to run against him early on dropped out of the races? Those of you who are aware of the Illinois political machine, the money and the history knew better than to vote for this fraud...the rest of the cult were made to feel it was unnecessary to look into the real Barry. Political Correctness has many between Barock and a hard place...don't be intimidated, he puts his pants on one leg at a time and has ghost writers who wrote those books...he can't write.

I think it was at the Obama File site on the net that I read how he or his backers got rid of all his competitors while running for any office... it was really criminal as only Capone type politics can be, in my view.

Or is it Political Cleansing that he’s doing?

Yes, one way was to get their private records unsealed, including a divorce that was involving young children and the parents’ sexual habits.

Sleazy a-hole. How ironic he is fighting tooth and nail to keep his OWN records sealed.

This is an untrue statement. Barack Obama understands representative democracy. He simply hates it and wants it destroyed.

And if he isn't stopped, he will.

Besides that Obama is one of those progressives who are in love with parliamentary government like England’s where the Government proposes these
bills with exceedingly broad powers which are then implemented by Executive Order (as in privavy Council) where the details are filled in by the Permanent Government (the bureaucracies). Obama is not much into details, not being a real lawyer. Don’t think he ever did a lick of work for his employer, just sat around composing his imaginary life.

When Ross P. used the term “folks” he was called a raciest.
When Obama uses the same term... it's ok with the left wing media.

Have Barack and the Democrats enunciated ONE principle that guides their thinking about health care insurance besides: “The insurance companies are greedy.” (And who isn’t?)

My lst letter to the Kenyan President, he had his czar for communications sign it, and promised to be the most transparent, open minded administration in history...taking our opinions and having gov’t work for us. How HYPROCRITICAL.

I new as well - there were two reasons that McCain did as well as he did - Sarah Palin, and the fact that he wasn't the raving communist/fascist that his opponent was. Too bad that the republicans had such a lame candidate. And, too bad that so many were swayed by the leftwing media.

About a week or two before the election, I sent out a long-winded email to several friends explaining why they should NOT vote for Obama. Most agreed, though a couple couldn't see past his stardom or his skin color.

I heard this explained on G. Gordon Liddy comparing him to Hitler & Stalin....sounds like the devil with no heart or compassion. nar·cis·sism (när'sĭ-sĭz'əm) n. Excessive love or admiration of oneself. See Synonyms at conceit. A psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one's own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.

More from Mayo Clinic:

Definition
By Mayo Clinic staff

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and in other areas of their life, such as work or school. In particular, narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, emotional behavior, in the same category as histrionic, antisocial and borderline personality disorders. Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around psychotherapy.
