Obama Advisers: Obama’s theory of government is he is the government

Examiner ^ | January 20, 2013 | Kevin Kervick

As was revealed in a breathtaking New York Times opinion piece today, many of Barack Obama's top advisers feel alienated from him. There is a sense within the White House that President Obama's theory of government is that "he is the government". Apparently, President Obama has personalized the presidency to such an extent that it is now seen as more about the man than about the position. Certainly that is not how the American Founding Fathers viewed the presidency.

The author of this article, David Rothkopf, characterizes the president as a poor manager who is also aloof and a poor listener. He describes a fragmented White House team that is dysfunctional.

The words we are searching for are...

Megalomaniac...Narcisist...self-centered...Tyrant.

He said...”I did it”

Notice that for any of us,.. to him it’s...”You didn’t build that”

but for Himself....”I did it”.

What a pompous ASS!

Nothing new, Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Bloomberg, etc. were/are the same.

I think Obama is a "low information" president. He thinks he knows, but he has been mal-indoctrinated, if I may coin a term, his entire life.

[crosshairs]

Time to shut down the government.

[llevrok]

Monarchy. Dictator. But certainly NOT presidential.

[muawiyah]

Actually the guillotine was used on Louis XVI, a man who actually supported the expansion of democratic governmental forms and the opening of French society to the dispossesed.

After that was a brief return to Louis XIV's form of government and 'la Grande Terreur' ~ that was followed by the Thermidorian reaction, etc.

Louis XVI in his last days was both defended by his cousins the Bouille family (see Lafayette) and hounded by his cousins, the Bouille family. There are dozens of folks by that family name in and around the French royal family in the early 1790s. They tried to save the king right down to the very end.

Admiral Bouille, a hero to Americans in the Revolution is actually condemned personally in the French national anthem. Stand only out of respect for the law ~ not for what they are singing ~ and never sing the song along with them. It is unpatriotic, and in some quarters, treasonous behavior!

All those who didn't notice that yet please inform the government that you can't
pass a background check for mental fitness and you need to be in a data base.

[TigersEye]

Paging John Boenher!

[YHAOS]

This is not a “government” . . . this is a regime.

There is a sense within the White House that President Obama's theory of government is that "he is the government".

Obama, the imperial president... or IMPOTUS if you will.

[dandiegirl]

Hussein and the Mooch’s arrogance knows no bounds. There will be a hard, long fall for these 2 at some point. I just hope I live to see it. I am BO’s age. Clinton had an ego but nothing like this and he likes people. BO is a whole different animal from Clinton, but he has Clinton by the scruff of the neck apparantly.

[Cheerio]

DICKtator Hussein. Didn't the world get rid of one of them a few years back?

[Argus]

Thanks a lot for keeping this under your hat til after the election, Times.

B. Hussein Obama IS the Anti-Christ for America.

The minds and emotions of Obama’s voting enablers have been frozen into oblivious support for whatever Obama wants to do.

Nicoleae Carpathia in the fiction book “Left Behind” is what Obama is in real life.

Those who see, and those who hear are ignored or otherwise marginalized by the Obama enablers.

As America struggles to awake from its “White Guilt” first Election (2008), the dawning reality of its first Bolshevik Communist Election (2012) has yet to reach the fear level of action that is the hallmark of American response to mortal danger, for example the Pearl Harbor response in 1941.

To put it in an historical context, the 2008 Election of B. Hussein Obama was analogous to the Japanese Fleet leaving Tokyo Bay for Pearl Harbor.

The Passage and Court approval of Obama’care’ was equivalent to the bombing of The Arizona on 12-7-41.

We are finished as a Republic as long as we continue to hire RINOs to be doormats for Communist Obama’s enablers.

The blame goes not to the Communists, as they are just doing what Communists do best.

The blame goes to the lack of loyal supporters of our Republic who are in the US Congress.

The end of our Republic will not end well if the current RINO leadership domination of Republicans in the US House and Senate continues - - - .

I suspect (just a prediction folks) that before the open shooting starts in CW2 ... many members of the asshat media and other worshipers of King Zero are going to start mysteriously disappearing. Some may commit “suicide” and some may meet their doom in “unfortunate” accidents.

[ArmstedFragg]

getting cynical, power-hungry, and detached from the mundane aspects of governing

Getting?

[combat_boots]

I saw this on tape, shortly after the 2008 election. It pointed at its chest and said, verbatim, “All change comes from me.”

It believed it then. It does now.

Two words:

Nicolae

Ceaușescu

... President Obama's theory of government is that "he is the government".

Of course he is. In his narcissistic mind. I am becoming more and more convinced the man has a screw loose. I know he's a radical leftist and is determined to turn the US into a turd world hell hole with him as dicktator for life. But I think he's actually ill.
