CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I think the president invoking the massacre of children to essential say the Republicans need to accept his terms of surrender in the negotiations is not just a non-sequitur, I think it's sacrilege. And it's of a piece with the whole tone of his news conference and this is the way he conducts them generally, which is he is excessively self-righteous. He talks about the other side of being unprincipled, not interested in the national interest, slaves of ideology which he says makes no sense. And as you mention, invested in opposing him to the point they are willing to let the country suffer.

So it's a combination of self-righteousness and narcissism. It's just a very unpleasant tone and there is no reason he can't either avoid that or give some credit to the other side for sincerity in just seeing a different way to approach the crisis the country has. I think that would be respectful but it's a lot to ask of Obama and he never delivers on that.

Change has come to America. The only beliefs, institutions, and images allowed by Obama are the ones stamped with the Obama seal (mark) of approval. All else must be destroyed.

So it's a combination of self-righteousness and narcissism.

Obamacare isn't just about medical dictats. It's a whole-life concept. A contract (covenant) with death as it were. Obamacarrousel. "Renew!"

I think many of us feel the same way. Imagine my disgust when I saw the Time magazine cover with O as "Man of the Year." I very nearly lost my lunch, and that's no exaggeration.

It's really hard to stomach that the "social parasites" are the ones who elected him back into power this time and there weren't enough decent folks to vote him out.

And I say that with regret because my daughter is one of those who voted for him. She's not a social parasite though, just a very liberal person who hates all things conservative, decent, moral and holy. Egads, maybe I should rethink this..................

Don’t be surprised if Obama shows up at a press conference dressed in a toga, a laurel wreath on his head and a lyre in his hand. “Oh, what a great artist, the world has lost!”
You know who said that, don’t you?

[cradle of freedom]

Someone said that media is now the fourth branch of government.

And I bet you paid a lot to have her indoctrinated...err, educated.

‘Obama Carrousel. “Renew!”’

‘Logan’s Run’ - one of my all-time favorite movies.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

I think Obama was suggesting that there will be more massacres unless the Congress caves.

I met Jenny Agutter back in the day. Gorgeous and with it

Obama’s combination of self-righteousness and narcissism is a mathematical constant of his despicable character. How the Americans could vote for this schmuck TWICE is beyond comprehension.

Lucky dog.I just looked on her website.Still a looker with
an imprssive resume.

[Borax Queen]

I completely agree with you. It’s over until the final financial collapse when the system gets to rebalance and a work ethic is once again valued.

[Neoliberalnot]

Your assessment is outstanding. He is a deeply disturbed monster, not unlike several mass murderers. His soul is steeped in hatred for Americans. His war on America has been apparent since 2008.

[dennisw]

it was after Logan Run. She was in town acting in a play. Probably classically trained.

I don't know about that but they certainly are a Fifth Column...

Today is Ms. Agutter’s 60th birthday.

Welcome to maturity!

Did you have to remind me??? :D
