Obama Really Doesn't Like People
The American Thinker ^ | 11-19-15 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 11/19/2015 5:51:06 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

A comment made by one of President Obama’s closest aides explains his blasé attitude toward the lives of Americans. In late 2012, Neera Tanden, who had been one of President Obama’s closest aides, observed:

Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obama’s term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. “People say the reason Obama wouldn’t call Clinton is because he doesn’t like him,” observes Tanden. “The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people.

Barack Obama had been warned that leaving Iraq without a residual American force could lead to genocide. When questioned about this risk, he complacently answered that preventing genocide was not a good enough reason to have troops in Iraq .

Barack Obama’s coldness towards Americans -- and others, for that matter -- was obvious before 2012.

Barack Obama has long had an Empathy Deficit, as I wrote in 2010. He easily and coldly boasted he would destroy the coal industry and kill thousands of jobs with the aplomb of Chairman Mao and Josef Stalin reengineering their societies. The jobs that were promised after passage of the trillion-dollar stimulus plan never materialized because as Barack Obama jocularly put it two years later “shovel-ready was not as shovel ready as we expected.” When Texas was hit with devastating forest fires, Obama was cracking jokes at a California fundraiser, “You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change.” He has articulated his contempt for so called everyday Americans many times (see my 2012 column, What Obama Thinks of Americans and my 2014 column, Obama Thinks You Are Stupid, That’s Why)

Presents us with a kind of symmetry, because people really don’t like him, either.

He's a sociopathic narcissist. Lacking empathy comes with the territory.

From AsiaTimesOnline
Feb 26, 2008

"Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture."

Obama is a MSM-enhanced GOP-enabled
sociopathic Islamoterroristophile narcissist
whose goal is to kill every white American
through race war, imported diseases,
narcoterrorism, Islamic murder and slavery.

I think he likes people fine....as long as they’re a certain race or religion.

In all seriousness, the editorial is spot on.

Great Article.

If more Americans could read, they’d learn something in these pages.

At least Bill Clinton knew how to fake it.

Remember his audience shout-out after Fort Hood shootings...?

“Yo, my man TONTO..! Whassup..?!” or nearly so.

It was CREEPY.

As if the concept of OTHER PEOPLE were an arcane abstraction.

This is going to get much, much worse before January, 2016. Fasten your seat belts.

He knows New Yorkers are going to die. AMERICANS will die. To the extent that he cares, he’s happy about that. Obama is the anti Christ.
