Hugh Hewitt interviewing Mark Steyn is like Sandy Koufax pitching to Willie Mays — a thing of beauty.
Affirmative action overrides the Peter Principle to move him far above his level of incompetence.
Perhaps peculiar, but alas not uncommon. Hussein Obama is just a reflexively anti-American commie SOB, like millions of others. ....hating America's traditional values and allies, and sympathizing with her enemies. But this particular one somehow, some way, astoundingly managed to become POTUS.
Obama’s “peculiar psychology” comes from his mentality which gives him more the attitude toward the US of an envious and resentful Third Worlder than of someone whose roots and traditions are deeply American.
Dinesh D’Sousa and others have written about this, and it doesn’t take the world’s keenest observer to pick up it. His treatment of GB and Israel, and his absurd apology tours in the Third World are major indicators.
In looking at pictures of Obama in England he looks like he is really working hard to keep it together. Im surprised he is running for President again as he gives no sense that he really likes the job
He doesn't have a brain, so you can't get inside his mind.
My observation? With obama it’s, open mouth insert foot. Then get angry & burn for a day or two before going out to clean up his mess. And that usually means we get a talking down to, because he thinks he’s mr. perfect and if there is a problem, it’s ours, not his.
With his nose up in the air all the time it’s a wonder to me that the man doesn’t drown when it rains.
Bottom Line:
Obozo is certifiable insane.
The way Steyn pronounces “Barack Obama” always makes me laugh. I’m not sure why, but it sounds like he’s making fun of him just by saying his name.
There's nothing hard to understand about it, but for some, I can see how it is hard to accept. For the mediots however, they were raised in the same leftist environs. Hence, everything about it seems reasonable, so it should work... but it isn't working... deny, change the subject, blame somebody else... etc. Just keep repeating the same memes and everything will be hunky dory. After all, it pleases the 'You're a peon' left.
Mark needs to get a copy of Dinesh D'Souza's book- "The Roots of Obama's Rage". D'Souza is a half black Indian himself and offers a completely reasonable and believeable explanation.

HH: Okay, I’ve got to play for you Joe Biden, because he was in your state last night, and he was talking to New Hampshire Democrats. And it’s just sort of a carnival every day with these people. On the eve of the D-Day celebrations, and Memorial Day weekend, here is Vice President Biden talking about the decision to kill bin Laden.
JB: …was that President Obama leads from behind, President Obama is not decisive, President Obama is not bold. Well, I sat there for four months, along with him, actually, that’s not true, with three other people, watching him meticulously plan the boldest, the boldest decision, the boldest undertaking any president has undertaken on a single event in modern history.
HH: So Mark Steyn…
MS: (laughing)
HH: (laughing)
MS: By the way, Hugh, he’s wrong on that.
HH: (laughing)
MS: I think the boldest undertaking that’s ever been undertaken in the history of human undertakings was when Barack Obama decided to make Joe Biden his running mate.
HH: There you go.
MS: Don’t tell me that’s not bold.
HH: That’s very bold. It sounded like a Monty Python routine, the Inquisition. One guy, no, there are three guys in the room.
The full transcript of my conversation with Mark, including his assessment of Joe Biden’s latest pratfall and the president’s toast to the Queen, is here.

The "journalists" who populate America's Democrat newsrooms simply scanned 'Dreams of my Father', shrugged, and said, "Okay then... There's nothing more we need to know."
I was reading about African-Americans who graduated from Ivy League colleges in the '60s and '70s, the first large intakes involving what would later come to be known as affirmative action. The expectation was that they'd be grateful for the opportunity. In fact there was much anger. They'd become very resentful and embittered.
Obama wasn't a part of that generation, but the attitude was very much in the air among his older African-American contemporaries. There's a sense of entitlement that takes life's obstacles as personal affronts or insults. One could speculate about the reasons, but at this point it's not something one can be surprised about.
“And the fascinating thing about this 1967 borders stuff is whether he intended it as a conscious shift in U.S. policy that would allow the Israeli government or whether it – with the casual arrogance of his half-wit 12-year-old speechwriter, it just somehow got in there and he finds himself up there saying it,” Steyn said. “That’s what I don’t understand.”
I suspect he just read what was on the teleprompter. You can psychoanalyze it as an indication of a mental conflict or ambivalence -- wanting to lean in both directions at once -- but it's doubtful that it was intended as a major policy departure.
“As we were talking last week, you know I think he has a — I think it’s hard to avoid the growing feeling that he is a contempt for long-time American allies,” he said. “I think he has in that sense a contempt for the United Kingdom and India. I hear from Indian politicians all the time and Indian diplomats who are amazed at his off-handedness toward India. And I think Israel falls into that category too. There are deep-seated historical reasons for this. I think there are perhaps some peculiar psychological ones in the back of his mind too.
More than France, or Germany, or Austria? If the "anti-colonial" idea so many people attribute to Obama has any relevance it's here. It shows up in the crappy present he got Britain's last PM, rather than in his policies at home: take someone of Obama's exact background minus the Kenyan dad, and he'd pursue Obama's whole domestic agenda, so it's not anti-colonialism that fuels his health care or energy or stimulus policy.
Arguably some remnant of his father's anger is behind his attitude in foreign affairs. But what about our old friend, narcissism? Couldn't it just be that Britain or India or Austria really doesn't make much of an impression on him?
Politicians can be funny in that way. They can be extremely ingratiating with people they need something from. But if you don't have anything to offer them, you're off the radar screen.
I would guess Obama is driven by some very profound psychological issues, a sponge-like absorbtion of leftist principles, combined with a total lack of experience in the real world. In short, he’s exactly the kind of person who should never hold elective office or any other position of power.
For someone of normal mental capacity to get inside Obama’s mind somehow makes me think of a camel passing through the eye of a needle. This is not a trivial undertaking.
Obama is a radical communist Muslim. Of course he has contempt for all Western nations and their allies. He is a MUSLIM.
