Obama going off the deep end
East Valley Tribune ^ | 4.9.10 | Floyd & Mary Beth Brown

Posted on 04/10/2010 1:20:25 PM PDT by libh8er

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.

What has been concerning me the most is the Supreme Court’s “lack of interest” or “any Court” for that matter. Why but why all the dismissals of cases???? The whole thing stinks. Everybody but everybody KNOWS he’s a FRAUD but no one in authority will deal with it????? My question remains WHY????????? The Supreme Court is willing to let “their” country go to hell? I’m sorry, it stinks. It’s not different than a big fat elephant in the room trampling everything in sight and all the armed folks in the room won’t use their gun. ???? Not gonna be a good ending.

I can only hope that “they” (all the various “theys”) are waiting for critical mass.

So the more info is leaked out, the sooner that day will come.

In warfare there needs to be strategy.

And guts.

I hope there’s some guts in people who can actually make things happen.

“I don’t know about the rest of you, but I found Anne Kornblut’s report in the Washington Post — “Obama’s 17-minute, 2,500-word response to woman’s claim of being ‘over-taxed’” — to be deeply disturbing. Although I disagree with most of Barack Obama’s policies, I took no pleasure in seeing a political opponent wound himself by talking on and on to the point of agitating his audience. The situation is much too grave for that. This is our country — all of us, Republican, Democrat and Independent. And I am now convinced of what I have long suspected — the United States has a president with a serious personality disorder.

He is a complete nutcase. I knew it while he was campaigning and he has gone from bad to worse. Seriously, his is mentally ill. Pathological Narcissism is no laughing matter. I think he is borderline sociopath as well.

Profile of the Sociopath

Glibness and Superficial Charm

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

Other Related Qualities:

Authoritarian
Secretive
Paranoid
Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim’s life
Extreme narcissism and grandiose
May state readily that their goal is to rule the world

Sound familiar?

When this impostor’s head is turned his right side of it to the camera you can see a scar from surgery running from above the ear vertical about 1-1/2 to 2 inches and then the same horizontal backwards. Especially when he has had a close hair cut it is visible and yet we have never been privy to any of his medical reports either???

Obama moved into the venue where he could not be challenged on any front. His fancy education made him brilliant and superior. His minister, his buddies (Dorn, Ayers) and his wife set the tone and ran interference. And of course, ultimately any critique or criticism was racist.

So you see how this man glided through life unmarred, unchallenged and unquestionable. His monumental omnipotence is matched only by his monumental ignorance. He has never been confronted (What Michele has to say in private is unknown, of course, but not pertinent to the discussion either.) And so we see what we see – a pompous, self- absorbed narcissist who can speak of virtually nothing ad libitum. He needs a Teleprompter or surrogate. And if challenged or questioned or criticized, the shock and surprise in his eyes are sincere. He simply cannot believe it. This has never happened. It is not supposed to happen. It’s against the unwritten rules. Equal opportunity, affirmative action folks cannot be tested, challenged, criticized or ever, ever be wrong. And that is why, as he takes his health-care dog-and-pony show on the road he is absolutely rigid, and unyielding in what he wants. It is why he is so angry at being questioned or challenged. It is why his surrogates have ceased to imply and begun to scream and bellow the charge of racism against any person, organization, reporter, commentator, handicapped person in a wheelchair, and so forth and so on ad nauseam. Racism, it’s racism. Not rational, honest, open, fair, democratic debate and discussion. It’s racism.

One final comment: Obama is not socialist, he is a communist. What is the difference? Look around. In countries that have socialist parties and have had socialist governments– Scandinavia and other parts of Western Europe — they engage in debate with other parties, negotiate, and lose elections without revolutions. Communists never accept a loss as fair, will do anything to consolidate their power and control, and always follow the Marxist credo that the end justifies the means.

Thank you for posting this!

This is exactly what I have posted many many times here on F.R. the reason this guy has been able to get his foot into the door of the White House by a scandalous fraud with the DNC's blessings and some of the RNC as well and not to mention the SRM and most of the "Conservative"(?) talking heads including the Saudi/FOX!!

The Clintons were very effectively silenced by the RACE CARD and kowtowed into submission played out by the Chicago thuggery "Godfather"-style!!!

Remember the PUMA's outrages expressions during the primary voting for mcpain???

I have been convinced of this within weeks of his taking office, and the affect, presence and policies that he presented.

Hence my tagline.

Apparently there are posters at Roger L Simon's site and his commentary, that came to the same conclusion as you and I, and at the same time~ over a year ago.

If you read the comments on the Weird President post, there is much discussion.

I have radar for this kind of thing, probably someone close to me exhibited these symptoms.

It is my concern, as well as others who have expressed this thought, that WHEN he becomes a lame duck president after the November Congressional elections. he will go into meltdown mode, and we will have a Constitutional Crisis. His removal, if necessary under the 25th Amendment, will set back racial relations in this country 100 years. I dread what's coming.

Also, thanks for posting the pics of 0bama.

He has an EXTREMELY angry affect, cold eyes and is ALWAYS defensive.

If it is your practice... Pray.

I still have to take issue with the Saudi/FOX statement.

Where are you people getting this ..?? One person who owns stock .. does not mean they control the company. And .. the guy owns stock in News Corp - and FOX is just one part of that corporation.

I just don’t understand why this is becoming such a big deal. One stockholder and everybody’s going ballistic. Are people so ignorant about how businesses run - or have they been poisoned by the “big bad companies” garbage from the left - to the point that they cannot reason or investigate and find out the truth about things .. and instead they just blah blah blah the same talking points ad nauseum.
