“There are lots of times when you get the sense that Obama views the powers of the presidency as little more than a shadow of his own person.”
He and his followers really do act as if the office of the president is beneath him and he is deigning to ‘help us’ for a little while...
I'm not so sure. People always have a tendency to protect their own partisans. But the facts revealed in this piece, and many we well be seeing soon like it, chip away steadily at peoples willingness to be a fool along with him.
He is becoming grossly out of fashion almost everywhere. The embarrassment people are feeling for ever seeing him as anything other than a pompous fool will wear people down. They will make some excuse, like "he's just not leftist enough for my policy tastes". But abandon him they will. He is becoming truly toxic. People hate him more as a person by the minute because he is truly contemptible, and it can't be denied any longer.
The 2012 Dem convention will be a funeral. By that time all the talk will be about whether or not Republicans will get 60 votes in the Senate or not, and how he can't campaign anywhere because nobody wants to be associated with him. Can't wait.
After reading devastating things like this, we can all puff out our chests a bit and say: Us right-wing rubes knew it all along, from the second we first laid eyes on the clown. We weren’t fooled for a moment. You Powell, Noonan, Frum, Buckley, Will, Parker, Brooks types were way to effing stupid to see it. So who are the smart ones, really?
Great article. Thanks.
He’s a lazy, vain, empty suit.
The Ones got this greater than thou affliction about himself. That's why he's destined to failure and this great article reinforces this premise.
As an aside:I used to bowl with a guy that bowled on 4 leagues and he carried 4 bowling balls in our league...thought he was a pro and had a 135 average???
Obama is a MEGALOMANIAC just like ADOLF HITLER.
And remember, Hitler took that with him all the way to the bunker...
They NEVER change. Why should they. They have fooled all of the people, all of the time.
A quotation by Bertrand Russell gives his interpretation of megalomania: "The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history."[3]
From Michael Bloomberg no less :)
What’s American about him?
“I find comfort in the fact that the longer Im in politics the less nourishing popularity becomes, that a striving for power and rank and fame seems to betray a poverty of ambition, and that I am answerable mainly to the steady gaze of my own conscience.”
Have to agree with Last, this quotation can only come from a blown out ego. Nothing from the accolades of brilliance and superior judgement all the way to ‘His’ deification square with the precipitous record of screwing over the country.
A must read article!
Maybe those of us who have called him a Muslim are wrong; all devout Muslims view themselves as answerable to Allah. Indeed the divine right of kings is based on each king being answerable to God. In this view he is answerable to no one and nothing other than himself, the typical attitude of all of history's most horrific dictators. Indeed. his characteristic stance of setting the teleprompter screens so he looks down on his audience perfectly shows that attitude.
I heard Rush Limbaugh tell an interesting story the other day, and I had never heard him tell it before.
He talked about how Michelle Obama introduced Barack at the convention when he got the nom (I think that was the situation) and how she gave a GREAT intro. Rush said it was the best spousal political intro he’d ever seen, she made Barack sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Of course, I’m paraphrasing but you get the idea, Rush was very impressed.
Then Barack walks out on stage, and walks right past Michelle, no Al Gore BIG SMOOCH, no little smooch, no nod, no nuthing.
Then he realized the big O had some serious personality problems.
Mirror mirror on the wall....
Do they really have to ask? Obama is incompetent, lazy, and has no leadership abilities whatsoever. He can't give a speech to a classroom full of fifth graders without using a teleprompter. For someone who has never managed anything in his live, the demanding responsibilities that come with being President of the United States are hopelessly beyond him. And to make matters worse, he also lacks the ability and understanding to seek help from someone who actually is capable.
Obama just expects things to work out simply because he has told someone else to work them out. Never mind if that person is equally incapable. Obama does not possess the skills to know whether someone is capable. He knows absolutely nothing about team-building. He is incurably naive when it comes to diplomacy, and he lacks even remedial understanding of the most elementary of economic principles.
Why has he failed? The question they should be asking is, "Based upon his lifelong lack of achievement, why did anyone ever expect him to succeed?"
Another great article exposing the serious mental illness of Little Barry.
David Limbaugh , in Crimes Against Liberty
devotes an entire chapter to Barry’s narcissism and
went into great detail about Barry’s
many bizarre narcissistic episodes.
And even discussed Barry’s clinical symptoms of NPD as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ,
the diagnostic manual
of mental health professionals.
The totality of this guy’s pathology is so overwhelming ,
it should be criminal that the MSM , in cahoots with White House insiders and Democrat Party operatives ,
covered up his illness for so long.
As they still continue to do.
Especially when they must know of even more incidents.
Great article.
This guy is truly a great big fat bag of nuthin’ yet he fancies himself God’s gift to humanity. Scratch that, I think he thinks of himself as some type of a god.
