A recent analysis by Roger Simon of PJTV Media maintains that Obama is showing signs of mental illness. A wide variety of commentators have observed that Obama displays severe narcissism. Obama is conceited, and he is demonstrating a serious disassociation from reality.
A recent case in point was Obama's bizarre and meandering 17-minute, 2,500-word answer to the simple question about how he could justify raising taxes for ObamaCare during a recession when citizens are already overtaxed. Obama's wildly inappropriate answer left the audience stunned and led commentator Charles Krauthammer to mockingly say, "I don't know why you are so surprised. It’s only nine times the length of the Gettysburg address, and after all Lincoln was answering an easier question, the higher purpose of the union and the soldiers who fell in battle."
This lapse of delusion occurred in front of a friendly audience. Overall, Barack Obama seems to be slipping into a slightly more delusional state these days.
On Monday, following his embarrassing answer on Saturday, Obama stopped by the Washington Nationals home opener to loft an effeminate toss toward home plate constituting the ceremonial first pitch. After this display, Obama was mucking it up in the press booth talking about his love of the Chicago White Sox. The announcers asked Obama which players he supported growing up a White Sox fan. After hemming and hawing for about 30 seconds, Obama responded that he grew up in Hawaii and was actually an A's fan. Again, he avoided mentioning any players by name. Obama seems to believe that he can say whatever he wants, and not reap the consequences or be forced to defend his empty assertions. Obama behaves in a manner so disconnected from reality that he is shocked when someone has the audacity to question him. Obama acts like his word is infallible.
In March of last year Obama was on “60 Minutes” with Steve Kroft. Throughout the interview as Kroft questioned about the economic downturn and people losing their life savings, Obama just kept laughing. A one point CBS’s Kroft stopped him and asked, “Are you punch drunk?" How will the American people react to seeing their president laugh off their predicament? Obama’s inappropriate laughter clearly demonstrated he has lost touch with the pain that people are feeling.
Obama portrays himself as the larger-than-life figure towering above the political fray. At the summit when Obama was pushing his health care package through Congress, he attempted to act as if he were the chief arbiter of truth. With petty insults, he slapped down what the Republicans proposed and audaciously claimed his was a “bipartisan bill.” Obama distorts the truth with such frequency that one must start to question if Obama even realizes he is lying or is so disassociated from the truth that he believes what he says.
A further example of Obama’s delusions of grandeur occurred when he gave himself a “good solid B plus.” Believing that his presidency was an above average success when America is hurting is absurd. Obama went so far as to claim that he would give himself an “A” once health care was passed. Obama is not living in the same reality as the rest of us.
As Charles Krauthammer wrote, “Not that Obama considers himself divine. (He sees himself as merely messianic, or, at worst, apostolic.) But he does position himself as hovering above mere mortals, mere country, to gaze benignly upon the darkling plain beneath him where ignorant armies clash by night, blind to the common humanity that only he can see."
Obama sees himself as the greatest man to be president in all time. He truly believes it when he said "we are the ones we have been waiting for," and "this is the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and the planet began to heal." He believes that he can do anything he pleases and the people will love him for it. Obama plans to radically transform this country and go down in history as, in his mind, the greatest ever. Obama is clearly disconnected from reality.
Obama is, according to Newt Gingrich, “potentially the most dangerous (president), because he so completely misunderstands reality.” Gingrich was referring to Obama’s inept and weak stance on missile defense amongst other things. Even Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that Obama is an amateur; so much for wowing the world. Obama lives in an alternate universe where he treats our friends poorly and expects our enemies to change and become our friends. Here’s hoping that the voters help to connect this president back to reality in November.
Awe....I’d be happy to ‘add’ you LJ. You remember to ping me too when you find stuff. My fav. interests include exposing the marxist thug in the WH, exposing his marxist buddies,and finding ways to impeach them all....LOL
No, you recall quite correct. The film is “Being There” (1979). It presented a classic example of the ridiculousness that ensues when “intelligent” people make a person more profound than what he really is. In other words, precisely what the MSM has done with 0 every day since he became a candidate for pres__ent.
Do we have standing now?
Hey - we’re on the same page!
I do a lot of hanging out on the “0bama ain’t eligible” threads. LucyT does a lot of pinging for those and BP2 and Candor7 also ping things.
(I’m not pinging them even tho’ I mentioned their names since they won’t mind and they’re busy! But you can freepmail any of them to be on any associated ping lists if you want.)
:-)
Ah - who left?
When the Rats start quitting in droves that will be a Huge Sign.
WHen some of them start singing that will be an Ultra Huge Sign.
ROTFLOL! You’re injecting some much needed humor! I need a laugh lately!
As a golfer himself, I think Obama should treat himself to a taxpayer-funded trip to the birthplace of golf...St Augusta.
lol We used to. As a group, I hope we still have standing as Americans and qualify as "others". So is Obama harming us, the American citizens, and, as Washington said, the "generations yet unborn"?
I mean, I’m sure he has conversations with the Evil One. I just don’t think they haunt him like Sarah does.
Psychopath - Zero is clearly a psychopath in the mold of Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
He’s just the man to start a war.
“Liberals believe that what they say is the Truth because they say it. And if they say something contradictory the next day they believe that, too, because Truth can change. Truth is a mental construct and can be altered at will to suit the goals of the Liberal speaker. This is part of the philosophy they learn in the Ivy League.”
Actually they learned it from Orwell who first coined the term, “DOUBLETHINK.”
I’m like you I just run for the remote everytime I hear this creeps voice. It’s pathetic. He’s on EVERY SINGLE DAY and must have done at least 4000 press conferences or speeches by now. Can’t look at him and can’t listen to him. Even Fox is overdoing it. Somebody should SHUT THE GUY OFF. Don’t give him hardly ANY press. He finds a reason to be on television every single day if not several times. CO
That picture of him with his neck stretched in the air absolutely enrages me. I would like to punch his lights out. Ever noticed that this is becoming his usual posture? The man is mad, I’m sure of it. Oh how great his fall will be!! CO
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was all wee weed up. Have noticed how skinny he is and how he bounds around like a long legged bird? Something is really “off” with this thing (not callin him a man). CO
http://www.eutimes.net/2010/04/french-leader-sarkozy-slams-obama-warns-he-might-be-insane/ Apparently, Sarkozy agrees with this assessment.
Actually, the more he’s in peoples’ faces, the sooner more people will become similarly sick of him and realized the clothes have no emperor.
Plus, if/when he has a nervous breakdown on live TV, just think of that!
I never thought I’d say it but as much of a moron as Biden is, we better elect a Congress that will make him president.
I used to cringe when I heard Clinton's voice, too. But he was on television a fraction of the time Obama is. About the only thing that we can hope for is that more and more people will get tired of hearing him.
BTW -- I do tend to disagree with one point you raised, and it's basically a semantics issue. He's held precious few actual press conferences. He excels at spewing words into the air and at reporters in attendance, but takes very few questions one-on-one. And even fewer that are unscripted.
I would like to see people wake up to Obama soon jeremiah. He’s becoming intolerable. But then, I guess the devil always over plays his hand. So he will go to far and the consequences will be swift and final. Just his finger poking in the eye of Isreal alone is enough to do himself in. God won’t be mocked and he also will look after the “apple of his eye”!! That we can count on. CO
