White House Insider: Obama Battling Severe Depression
NewsFlavor ^ | 9/27/2010 | Ulsterman

Posted on 09/29/2010 9:11:32 PM PDT by Callahan

So you state that President Obama is depressed?  How did you come by this information?  From a direct source still working within the White House on a daily basis.  As I had stated previously, tensions at the White House have reached a critical stage.  The infighting among staff is off the charts.  More recently, the president has increasingly withdrawn emotionally from the day to day demands of his job – he has become what was described to me as “empty”.

 Empty?  That is correct – empty. 

....

 

But still…(interrupting) I would also add what you well know.  I have been quite accurate on my previous discussions with you. I indicated there would be a mass exodus of staff from the White House days and even weeks prior to those leaving became public.  Larry, David, Rahm, and more have or are in the process of leaving.  Your readers need only check the dates of when you published with the public announcements of those departures to confirm that fact.  I have been very truthful.  I indicated Pelosi was under intense pressure and challenge from within her own party.  That has also proven to be accurate.  What I have told you to date has been the very thing that has developed surrounding the White House – and what I am telling you now is also just as accurate.

Thats because he underestimated us. Thinking the United States could be won over in the pay for play way this Chicago extortion organizer was accustomed to. He is unaccustomed to anyone questioning him or expecting results. By the way, his anger is correctly targeted. If Fox wasn’t going around questioning power, his job would be easier.
So far my favorite Obama thin skinned moment was when he criticized Rupert Murdoch for pursueing a profit in the business he has over a billion dollars invested in. Like it just went over O’s head. He has never actually had a job and had to produce something or accomplish anything other than a smile, a speech and some graft. The incentive of Capitalism completely escapes him.
Heres the hard truth. Fox puts out a conservative view. CNN,MSNBC, ABC, CBS, any website with “truth” or “fact” in the name, and nearly every newspaper put out the liberal view. And Fox trounces the lot on a regular basis. Why? Because conservative Not only does he not comprehend why a successful investor wants to make a profit on his investment, but chastises him for not pursueing the governments policy.
Because all money is the governments property and it will be all rosey when we apportion it out equally the left says. Billionaires are “destructive” when they successfuly sell a product, in this case information, and not push the correct free speech.

There is a reason for free speech.

You gain weight on anti-depressants. Barry has been losing weight. The meds tend to dull you...diminish your affect. He’s not on meds, although he is a nutcase.

That’s mostly been refuted. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain mostly likely genetic in origin. Your environment on the whole has little to do with it with some exceptions. Life is capricious.

I don’t much like being used to help Dems forward their agenda. They want to swap Hilary in for Obama? Well then, ‘leak’ stories about Michelle’s unhappiness, Barry’s smoking and depression. Stampede the populace to drive them out?
I don’t believe Barry’s mental health has deteriorated since he assumed office. He always was a malignant narcissist with marked instability. How about the MSM interview where the reporter asked him if he was ‘punch drunk’ because he laughed inappropriately etc. The Dems DID NOT CARE. THEY installed an unqualified, unstable megalomaniac in office and called us racists for pointing that out.
NOW they want us to remove him? They claim the moral high ground for installing him and then, due to their manipulations, we get blame for removing him? Oh I could see why Dems would want that.

They want a ‘do over’? Obama didn’t come through on the public option and Hilary will? Obama didn’t close Guantanamo and Hilary will? And they want to stampede the right wing into removing Obama from office(hey we’ll have congress soon) so the left can call us racists again? (oh well they can’t get their hands dirty) They’ll call us a lynch mob and moan that conservative America was just not ‘ready’ to have a black man in office. The black voters who don’t believe Obama is unstable will certainly recoil in racial horror from the Republicans and return snugly to the Dem fold. Obama and Michelle themselves will publicly marvel at the lack of support for a black president. They could even magnanimously pretend to ‘give up office’ in the best interest of the country (if forced out) saying that ‘America has not yet embraced King’s dream...’
So this source leaked stuff that could be proven earlier in preparation for leaking this stuff that can’t be proven now? And the papers are carrying reports of Michelle’s unhappiness NOW? News FLASH: She was always unhappy.

We were in as much danger the first day Obama took office as we are today - he’s an unstable, America hating malignant narcissist who doesn’t like work. But now it’s jeopardizing Dem ‘40 year rule’ so it’s time for the Dems to use us to flush him out so they can install Hilary.

The problem with malignant narcissists is rage. If you pull them off their pedestal - stand back for epic rage. If he’s depressed - it’s out of impotent rage. Comments about his emptiness - yeah - he was always empty. OBVIOUSLY. It’s just now these details are going to be used by Dems to get a ‘do over’.

Whoa .. these interviews are really explosive! They have the
smell of believability. God protect us in this scary time
if he’s truly that much of a fractured narcissist, and
surrounded by a cadre of likewise incompetent, imploding,
devious, radical cohorts.

“Just prior to the midterm elections, a significant figure within the party is going to break out and talk publicly to the media about much of what has and is going on both at the White House and Congress.

We need to have a bit of a cleansing process as a party, and this individual is now willing to do just that. It may actually be more than one. From there we can start the process of rebuilding and recovery. It will be much the same as we did back in 1994.

That playbook is still as legitimate today as it was then. Don’t count out the Democratic Party – we will be back, and back in a big way, and I still believe back in time for 2012.”

Your comment has just the right mix of reality and irony.

Is this then the way the world of the Soros-Saudi-Soviet project deconstructs.

Hitler-in-the-bunker would be too coarse.

Amidst Satyricon on steroids, DICK (Deviate Islamo-Commie Kenyan) sees all of his fawning sychophants making their way for the door.

I do not discount an event, be it terror attack, or foreign mischief on the part of one of his fellow tyrants.

Wag the Dog would seem a panacea devoutly to be wished.

Cue Jim Morrison and the Doors, This is the end.

“Most depression is caused by a feeling of inadequacy “

I disagree. Depression is often caused by hopelessness. How would you feel if you were stuck with Michelle?

JUST PRIOR TO THE MIDTERMS? In order to sway the vote? Get people to stay the course with Dems? Is this the October Suprise???

Dear Lord .. I wonder and I pray for America
daily. This guy’s ‘confessions’ have been
very authentic sounding. Just read the rest
above. Seems very much an ‘insider’ .. said
he’s been a party operative for est. 30 yrs, was
on the transition team. God bless & protect us.

Starwise - I can’t quite agree with you (except your prayers to God - I am Christian too.)
The source may indeed be a 30 year insider. But he does admit to using this avenue of communication to help his party win. The ‘help his party win’ is the part I don’t like about this guy.

Following the links you provided, the source says “It is a mess of our own making, so we need to be the ones to clean it up. If we don’t, this country is going to continue hurting, and too many people out there are really hurting these days.”
And then the source cultivates leak channels and meets in secret to leak information that will appeal to anti Obama people (the right, for example) Sanitizing the Dems from attacking their own man - which would alienate their base and the black vote. That would further divide the Dems and we can’t have that, can we? No, no better to leak it to the wind and let conservatives stir it up so Repubs can be dismissed as racists and inhospitable to the black vote.

Why wait to have ‘someone come forward’ (the source hints at Dem leadership) until JUST BEFORE THE NOV VOTE? If it’s a dangerous mess now - you’d think decent people would have acted. But - they want to use this mess they created to help them retain power. So just before the vote - they come forward with a mea culpa and a promise to do better in hopes of swinging the Nov their direction? This is no altruist - when the source says too many good people are hurting - he means Dem pols hurt in the upcoming elections because they supported Obama and he didn’t look out for them in return. How do I know this? The source says so in the interviews linked.

A 30 year ‘loyal’ Dem operative is not someone I instinctively trust. I can imagine Obama behaving in an empty depressed manner right about now because he has lost his halo - but he is what he always was - a malevolent, unstable narcissist in an empty suit. This source is making use of this to grasp at the NOV election and again at 2012. The source, and other Dems like him, will say and do (or leak) anything they can to keep Dems in office. Just think what leaks the source is making up right now to tar the Repub candidates in the Nov elections...

“How do you intend to save 2012? I assume you mean the presidential elections?

Well, that is the top spot of course, yes. But not just the White House. There is Congress, we need to put in place like-minded governors, all of that. Right now the term Democrat is toxic to mainstream America. It’s as bad as I have ever seen it.

We are literally killing our political futures out of some need to keep supporting an administration that has in no way, shape, or form shown itself to be worthy of that support.

Those are strong words – but what exactly to do you mean by that?

What do I mean!? (Voice rising) What I mean is exactly this – we got Congressmen and Senators running for re-election right now whose political careers are about to be ended because they supported a president and a Democratic Party leadership that told them to do so.

They trusted they would be politically protected, that the American people would agree with the agenda. Well guess what? That hasn’t happened. Good people, good Democrats, are being tossed aside like so much trash – and this White House DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN.

In my eyes that is absolutely unforgivable. You just don’t do that to your own people. And some of these politicians are talking. They are – but for the most part the media is ignoring them because they don’t want to hurt the administration.

To that I say enough! Do your damn job. Report what is going on within the Democratic Party. We need to clean up this mess, and it starts by getting the truth out there. That is my motivation.”

Whoa...great song...and analogy.

“This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end”

Too, I like Buffalo Springfield...

Into your heart it will creep.
It happens when you’re always afraid.
Step out of line and the man comes to take you away.”

Absolutely beautiful, awesome graphic!

Read my last post, and his thinking does make
sense to me. He made the predictions of those
abandoning ship before they did .. and it all
just has a ring of truth to it... his disgust at
what’s happening with these screwups seems
visceral.

He’s all about recovering for 2012.

Seems logical that the veterans would be disgusted
at how the 0 crew have betrayed the trust of their
own .. left them to hang in the wind, and those folks
are losing their jobs in Nov due to their following
the WH line.

Time will tell ...obviously .. and when he’s
asked why he’s talking publicly, albeit
anonymously, he says to get this discontent
out there .. and as a signal to others that
it’s time to start speaking out.

And I’m seeing some Dems are starting to do that.

Time will tell.

Hmmm ... related?

http://newsflavor.com/politics/world-politics/nancy-pelosi-scrambles-to-keep-power-furious-at-obama-white-house/

... A member of the Speaker’s staff who wished their name not to be published, said the following regarding the relationship between Pelosi and the White House:

“The Speaker is absolutely livid – furious, at her treatment by some within the Obama White House. She has done everything in her power to forward the agenda of the Democratic Party and the administration, and now they wish to ignore those efforts and only seem to care about saving their own political credibility. The Speaker deserves far better than that – and the White House knows it. We are very disappointed. Rest assured, Speaker Pelosi will continue fighting for the best interests of her party, even if that means taking on the White House to do so.”
