President Obamas rhetoric is finally coming closer to what appears to be his psychological truth: Because America victimized him and countless millions of others, any person or party or movement that opposes his views and does not yield to him is not just his adversary, but abusive, predatory and even threatening.

To: MeshugeMikey
    That is why he cannot accept responsibility for his own actions 
 and why he blames ANYONE ELSE , but himself , for his failures . 
 Don't forget that he was imbued in Black Liberation Theology through Rev. Wright for over 20 years 
 but doesn't remember any revolutionary talks . 
 Thorow in a Narcissistic personality ,.. and we got problems right here ,in River City !

    Well, duh. What is the default position assumed by a petulant child denied something? 
 
 This was all easily foreseen and predicted.

    Utter nonsense, by FOX News and Team Romney and Rove
 defending the indefensible, again. 
 Obama, the undocumented, has armed al Qaeda. 
 The Constitution is as clear on this.
To: MeshugeMikey
    Duh...he’s made a whole career out of manipulating and exploiting his perceived victimhood. It’s what community organizers do,
 
To: MeshugeMikey
    Now add in his main supporters : 
 Al Sharptongue 
 Bro. Jessie ..
 Ben Jealous .. 
 Rev. Wright .. 
 and the Professional Racial Grievence Committees .. 
 and then you will have some idea how and why he thinks and acts as he does !

    Yes. It's not so much that he wants to "destroy America." It's that his thinking revolves around victimization, minority rights, victim group self-affirmation, minority group identity, and things like that. 
 
I don't think you have to go into depth psychology. That's the way people think at universities. It's especially the way people in his role at universities think. I mean people who are supposed to represent the minority presence. I don't think it's really something conscious. It goes so deep in his thinking that he's probably not aware of alternatives. 
 
Some groups are victims (or disadvantaged) for him -- African-Americans, women, gays, Muslims. Some groups are allies that he doesn't feel so strongly about (Latinos, Asians). Some groups are victimizers (old white guys, rural or working-class White men). 
 
I doubt he wants to "destroy America." He's just working off the victimization script. I don't think he's any kind of Black nationalist or "anti-colonialist." He's using the familiar White liberal victimization script, but in some way he's not White, so the emotions involved are a little stronger and directed in somewhat different ways than they are for White liberal politicians.

 Yeah , Ben Jealous of NAACP 
 and Crump and Company of Sanford Florida fame ,
 and "Dream Defenders" , who were instigated by the "Just-Us" Dept ., CRS unit(Community Response Services).
 
 The very name of the CRS unit of the "Just-Us" Dept. strikes me as odd as well .

 Yup , that be them !
 The CRS unit solicited and recruited them, arrainged transport, and supported them while in Sanford to picket the Sheriffs office.
 The CRS unit, in doing so , violated objectivity and injected themselves into the domestic police affairs of the City of Sanford, Florida.
 Rather than acting as law enforcement 'peace keepers', they encouraged community disharmony 
and aggrivated the situation, by encouraging outside interests to participate in the demonstrations.
