It's true. Ever felt like someone was staring at you in a crowd, then turned around and looked that exact person squarely in the eyes?
Ever wondered how you knew which person out of all those people was the one staring?
Ever think of someone you haven't talked to in a while, and then they call you on the phone out of the blue?
What made you think of them before the phone rang?
There is something to it. We have the capacity to put out a sort of mental energy that can be perceived by others. It can be positive, or it can be negative, and it can impinge upon others.
The man was wholly unprepared for high office and has discovered that an out-sized ego is no substitute for knowledge or experience, both of which he lacks in any significant quantity.
In spite of a glossy educational resume, I think we all know that the depth of his achievement was in reality as thin as onion-skin. And I think we all know why. And, regardless of Obama's admitted lack of executive experience, a history of successful legislative effort might at least have steeled his nerves and stiffened his spine. Instead, he served partial terms and often voted "present".
Tell me: have you ever heard of a person serving as President of a Law Review (and at Harvard, no less!) who never submitted a single article to it for publication and peer review? The words "empty suit" come to mind as much now as they ever have in consideration of our 44th President... but now it's serious. There is too much at stake domestically and abroad for an emotionally fragile poseur to be leading a nuclear-armed superpower in the throes of a Great Recession and increasingly provocative challenges from international adversaries.
Laugh if you must at this incompetent, blustering boob named "Barry", but also consider the danger he represents, on so many levels.
Good thread, Maggie. Thanks.

Ah, chill out. Smoking has nothing to do with it and you’re right. Being POTUS would cause anyone to smoke and even worse. Every president I can think of in recent history turned grey instantly. Bush aged 10 years after 3 years in office. If I were president I’d be a hot mess. Let’s not attack his appearance but his philosophy and disregard for American values. He can go back on vacation for all I care. Let’s not fold as Freepers and begin attacking each other.

Send in the clowns.
I agree, the "scuttlebutt" should be taken with a grain of salt. But, is this the face of a confident, healthy CIC?

President Barack Obama watches as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas motorcade departs following their bilateral meeting at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010.
He SHOULD feel sick! His agenda is a nightmare and has aroused his enemies. Us!
Early in his WH residency he said he didn't like being couped up in the WH. I put that statement in my "Obama is a Puppet" file.
Or handcuffs.
In a few months it may be Boehner or Pence... One can hope!
You are wicked, mlizzy! Now that image is burned into my brain. Should I *LOL!* or cringe in horror?

From a purely materialist perspective, it’s difficult to escape concluding that thoughts are things, with substance of some unidentified sort. From a religious perspective, thoughts directed to our Creator have long been known to be powerful, and that power is magnified by numbers.
The hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck sensation, that knowing you’re being watched feeling, is a different matter. It’s ancient, predator-prey stuff. Ignore it or become divorced from it at your peril. You really can tell, if you’re paying attention.
How? Don’t know.
All this represents is hope without factual basis. How th little tin god "looks" proves little if anything.
When he strokes out and head off for his final "reward", I'll be happy....but not until then.
Just call me a skeptic and leave it at that.
I'm surprised. I thought he would be enjoying the destruction of our country.
