The Secret Life of Barack Obama
FrontPage Magazine ^ | April 9, 2015 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 04/09/2015 5:22:35 AM PDT by SJackson

There is a unicorn lair in North Korea. We know this because the Dear Leader of North Korea, Kim Jung Un, tells us so. According to the official Korean Central News Agency, archaeologists have “recently reconfirmed” the existence of the unicorn lair dating back to the Koryo Kingdom (918-1392).

President Obama has his own unicorn lair. It is the world as it exists inside his head, Walter Mitty-style. In no way does this world resemble reality; it is a bizarre fantasyland of Obama’s own construction, in which he is all-powerful, all-knowing and always right. It is a world in which his foreign policy predictions come true, in which his policies are successful, in which the flaming world he has helped create sparkles rather than burns.

In President Obama’s world, Iran is not a threat, but an ally. Iran, in this world, is not an Islamic dictatorship, but a rational actor simply demanding the global respect to which it is entitled. The Ayatollah Khamenei’s public statements of “Death to America” constitute a rhetorical love tap, designed for a “domestic political audience” — presumably an audience to whom the ayatollahs must answer, despite the lack of real elections in Iran for well over three decades. Iran’s repeated statements that it intends to wipe Israel from the map simply show that Iran requires more concessions, not less. Iran’s open suggestion that snap nuclear inspections be ruled out of negotiations show it is untrusting, not untrustworthy. Iran’s expansionist policies in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen are all growing pains that can be eased by Western kowtowing.

In fact, in President Obama’s world, Yemen is a shining example of American foreign policy at work. Just months ago, Obama used Yemen as his paradigm of functional anti-terrorism; two days ago, Obama’s press secretary, Josh Earnest, said that Yemen “did serve as a sort of template for the kind of strategy that we would employ to mitigate the threat from extremists around the world.” Earnest claimed that the Obama administration’s anti-terror policy in Yemen helped to “stabiliz[e] the country so extremists can’t use it to plot against the West.” Last month, the American embassy closed in Yemen, with its Marine guard evacuated without its weapons.

Last week, the last American forces left the country, which has been plunged into full-scale civil war by the Iranian-backed Houthi militias.

But the real threat to global peace, in President Obama’s world, lies with the quarrelsome Jews some 1,200 miles to the northwest. There, the democratic country of Israel has endangered its status as a democracy by failing to negotiate with terrorism-backing Palestinians; there, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a troublesome Jew if ever there was one, insists that Iran, not Jews building bathrooms in East Jerusalem, represents a threat to global order. If only the United States could achieve some daylight between itself and the Jewish state, all would be well — even though Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have never drawn closer to Netanyahu, knowing that Netanyahu is a far better guarantor of their security against an Iranian bomb than Barack Obama.

Delusional dictatorship is a danger to regional peace. But delusional American leadership is a threat to global peace. Nonetheless, things are going swimmingly in Barack Obama’s head. Iran is a regional ally, Yemen is a model of peace and security, and Israel is an incipient enemy. The unicorns still roam free, even if free people live in danger of chains.

I saw Marie Harf again, on the news this morning. She was once more demonstrating and wallowing in, her total and complete naivete and ignorance. Once more, I was thankful that she was NOT an alumnus, nor had any connection to, ANY school I've attended, or been associated.

You'd think that after her first incidents they would have buried her away, but to the contrary, she is front and center as an example of the "best and brightest" [sic] the 0bama regime has to offer.

Marie Harf is the poster child for the governing peutocracy.

Peutocracy, from Purile Effite Urban Twits.

Well, the American people have their own little secret or two; doesn’t affect who they vote for at all.

I am beginning to think that Obama has become mentally unhinged. Recently his speeches and actions seem even more disjointed and his lashing out at critics are more than just politics. He seems increasingly delusional and unfortunately no one in the White House or Democratic party dares to question his actions

All these convoluted and fantastic analyses of what makes Hussein tick. There is one simple explanation with which everything becomes consistent. It is an Ockham’s Razor kind of thing. The man is a Moslem. Everything he does advances Islam. The Iran deal is perhaps even a set up to get rid of the two Satans in his Sunni worldview. Iran “cheats” on its “deal” and Tel Aviv gets nuked by Iran or it gets immediately blamed on Iran, at least. The remaining IDF lays nuclear waste to Iran.

And this was his Resurrection day message:

“On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love,” Mr. Obama said. “And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less-than-loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned. But that’s a topic for another day.”

Is he saying God and Christians that believe what God says about homosexuality are "less than loving"?

The problem is that it’s not JUST obama. It’s his WHOLE staff; everyone surrounding him. They’re ALL pro-muzzie, even at the expense of our entire nation.

That’s what boggles my mind - SO many there in DC with this mindset.

I fear we’re just toast.

When you’ve lived in a bubble and coddled your whole life while being protected by dark forces you probably have no idea of what the real world is like. He has no clue. He is a paid actor following a script given to him by very evil people. The problem is he’s enjoying it a little too much.

“I am beginning to think that Obama has become mentally unhinged.”

There can be no doubt. His world consists of ultimate power with no accountability. That is the recipe for madness.

Here is the money quote: “. . . delusional American leadership is a threat to global peace.”

Yes, Virginia, Obama is delusional!

And, he is a threat to global peace!

When will the USA and the rest of the world come to understand that?
