In Stockholm, Obama Loses Touch with Reality ("suffering from...dissociation")
Commentary ^ | September 4, 2013 | Peter Wehner

Most presidents, having presided over the Syrian debacle, would be chastened. But not the Great and Mighty Obama. He’s decided to begin to rewrite history so that he emerges as the hero.  

Consider what Mr. Obama, in Stockholm earlier today, said in response to a question about Syria:

Mr. Obama appears to be suffering from a variation of what psychiatrists refer to as dissociation, which is characterized by everything from mild to severe detachment from reality and one’s immediate surroundings.

...The cause of Mr. Obama’s dissociation appears to be the psychological trauma induced by his multi-year fiasco in Syria. And in order to cope, we are seeing signs of anger, petulance, and hero syndrome and, as is always the case with this president, blame shifting.

On a slightly more serious note, Mr. Obama’s presidency is being wrecked by reality. He’s being exposed at every turn, and in every crisis, as inept. He can’t handle that truth so he’s trying tot distort it.

I think his mental instability will become worse as more ugly reality intrudes into his narcissistic fantasy world.

He didn’t need to travel to accomplish that.

Stuff like this is the reason he is a laughing stock everywhere but the USA where the Media protects him.

I was wondering why they were selling these tee-shirts before the election. Now I know why.

That is just Obama’s normal state. Complete dissociation.

I think you’re right. We saw a similar disassociation kind of tactic during the sequester issue. It was his proposal (and largely his spending that caused the problem in the first place) but when it became contentious and painful, all of a sudden he blamed the congress. It was like he never had any involvement with the sequester concept. To displace blame, Obama directed his vitriol and dire predictions of financial pain solely on the congress.

Obama is a narcissist and people like that don’t deal well with criticism, challenges or failures. IMHO its just a matter of time before he has a meltdown in public.

obama is the consummate liberal. When the world does not conform to his fantasies, he finds fault with the world and clings to his fantasies.

Exactly. O's media wingmen protect him here, although it should be increasingly apparent that he is incompetent. I mean, a week of propaganda about going it alone in Syria and how action was essential and then over the weekend, nothing is essential and it's Congress' problem?? He sounds like Emily Litella, "never mind!"

But he is clearly a laughingstock to the rest of the world. Much as I despise the man, it is not good to have a President with no credibility who is a laughingstock.

By blaming "the world" for drawing his red line, Obama believes that he can change reality by speaking things into existence.

Only God can do that. But even God can't make square, round, or up, down. And while Obama may think that he is God, God knows that He is not Obama.

Ah, yes! The Nero syndrome.

Megalomania coupled with inferiority.

Nothing like a world conflagration to get the new order of things.

This is what happens when you coast thru life while everybody tells you how wonderful you are. Eventually you hit the brick wall of ugly reality which is something Obama can’t handle. The guy even got admitted to Harvard Law even though no one can remember him attending classes at Columbia.

I agree. He’ll throw a temper tantrum on the floor like a 4 year old, I hope.

At the press conference today, he looked like he was drugged up. Boorish tone, rambling lectures, long pauses, sleepy eyes, not animated or alert.

What normal person or leader looks or acts like this, especially when being hosted by another country?
