Is this guy (and others) the same people who told us how brilliant Obama is/was?

What Budowsky does not realize, or cannot bring himself to admit, is that the White House does not want any other players involved. Between Obama and Jarrett they believe they know best on how to destroy the consititutional republic known as the United States of America. They are true believers dedicated to the idea of a victorious Soviet Union. They are both red diaper babies who have achieved the victory their communist parents and grandparents fought for: The control of the USA by the Communist Party USA, which owed its allegiance to the USSR and its Communist leaders, especially Stalin.

The Lonely Guy "........................ Obama told his biographer David Maraniss that he had learned a lot during his time as a second stringer on his high school basketball team in Hawaii about the value of “being more team-oriented and realizing that not everything is about you.” In practice, he often seems unaware of that truth. “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Obama told his 2008 campaign political director, Patrick Gaspard, now his ambassador to South Africa. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m going to think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

Such a statement suggests that Obama has least some level of self-awareness about this tendency. There is less evidence that he has done anything to really curb it..........."

My comment on The Hill. “Like” it, and thousands of libs will spew Starbucks on their keyboards.

The Russians had a saying that covered this situation: “Good Tsar, bad advisors.” They extended this even to Communist “Tsars” such as Stalin. “Oh, Dear Leader is being misled again by the bad advisors! If only our Dear Leader knew the true situation, he would fix everything!” Hogwash. President Obama knows exactly what he’s doing. He could care less if the Democrats take a drubbing in 2014, as long as the train wreck called the ACA leads to his lifelong ultimate goal of “single payer” AKA National Socialist healthcare rationing.

He discussed this very frankly in a speech to the AFL-CIO in 2003 when he said their common, ultimate goal was “single payer” medicine (i.e. the government uber alles), but that it would take at least a decade and many transitional steps to get there. The most important transitional step is the intentional destruction of the private healthcare insurance industry, and Obama’s plan is right on schedule for this outcome. With the insurance companies dismembered, dead and buried, Obama believes that the only “solution” left will be his goal of “single payer” National Socialist healthcare rationing.

Never mind its astronomical cost and staggering inefficiency, (British NHS, anyone?) this will be the final stake through the heart of American freedom forever. Your little Suzie needs a bone marrow transplant? “Oh, so sorry, Mr. Jones, we seem to have run out of our quota for this year. Try again next year, if Little Suzie is still alive.” But we’ll know what it really means. We already saw it with the politicized IRS being used as a weapon against conservative groups. (Remember Nixon’s Articles of Impeachment?)

So if you want that hip replacement, you’d better shut up and be a good comrade! This is how National Socialist healthcare rationing will be used as a political weapon, not merely chilling freedom, but killing it. The ACA-NSA-IRS “data hub” fusion centers will be used to dole out political rewards and punishments via the availability or withholding of needed medications and operations.

Now, shut up and be a good comrade, or we might “lose” your mother’s medical records. We’re watching you, comrade! No more “anti-government” posts on the internet, if you know what’s good for you!

Welcome to the USSA, comrades.

You can practically hear the frustration in the author's voice as well as his other "journalist" buddies: "If only he'd just listen to us, he'd be safe!"

What a bunch of clowns.

I really don't think Obama cares. I really don't think Obama is that much into governing.

I think Obama is into being “the man” with the trapping of the office. He gets all the perks and really is not interested in doing a whole lot. He's lazy, detached an uninterested. He'd rather hang out with Jay-Z and figure out basketball brackets.

Obama can get other people to make the decisions and do the hard lifting. He can go out and give speeches and hear cheering crowds.

If you think about it, Obama has never really been into the hard labor of being president. He can't make decisions and he wants others to digest all the information and then give him simple options, and even then it's hard for him to make the final decision.

One thing that DOES animate Obama is his hatred of Republicans. That he does know for certain and he passes up no opportunity to take shots at them. Whether their Republicans elected to office or people in general who identify as Conservative or Republican — he loathes them all and his decisions are often blindly driven by this animus.

He does not have a public relations problem or a political problem. He has a governing problem and a credibility problem.

Let me point out the forest to the author lost amidst the trees. Obama IS the problem. The other players are just symptoms.

I don’t think he’s bisexual. I think it was an unmitigated chore for him to sire Malaria and Sharia.

One of the only good aspects of being without any significant other, and all of the 'important' relatives dead, is that I am immune to such pressure.

F*** em.

Nothing about Obama is normal.

The arm chair psychoanalyst is me would say that this is a recognizable pattern in his life. A strong matriarch controlling figure in his life is a comfort zone for him.
