In any setting, corporate, government, even social, when a person feels the need to constantly explain her/himself, they are expressing profound insecurity. A hero, a champion, a top performer simply preforms. There is no need for explanation because the results are apparent.
What we have from the man-child is an incessant need to explain to the public why he is so great and why what he has done so far has worked. If you have to explain it, then you have already lost.
Corollaries to Obama’s childish antics:
He argues constantly that his policies have worked and on the other hand, sometimes in the same sentence, he blames Bush or Republican or both for his policies not working.
He does not say plainly what he has done. He pleads. He begs you to believe him. This is a typical sign of a lie. If I ask where were you yesterday and you say, I was at the Mall. Ok That is the end of it. However, if you say, I was at the Mall. Really I was. I promise. I was there really. Then I have my doubts. If you have to ‘sell’ rather than ‘state’ a situation then there is a problem.
This is why he is never working. He is afraid of his job. Like an irresponsible child, he runs to what makes him ‘feel good’. In this case that would be carefully chosen adoring crowds and a fawning media. When he is at work, no matter who is in the room with him, no matter what the issue at hand, he is always the least qualified person in the room. Although his arrogance covers most of this, it eats at him. Eventually he needs another dose of adulation which he uses as a balm for his fragile and frightened ego.
Furthermore, when he is missing meetings and work while on a self-imposed junket across the nation, he gives himself, subliminally, an excuse for not attending all those meetings which intimidate him so much. Essentially, he is ‘running away’ in a very real sense. So no matter what decision is made, if the outcome is negative, he can always claim, I was out of town when they did that.
Obviously, in big-boy world this strategy can never work. But Obama has the mentality of a child and does not know that. In the end, he will be yelling, Why is everyone blaming me!? I was out of town when that happened.
Obama is a child. Eventually, we are all going to pay, Republican and Democrat, for putting this inexperienced, lazy, unqualified, rookie in charge of our country.
The sooner he is gone the better, not just for America, but for the whole world.
Yours is a very good post. There is no need to qualify such perceptive and accurate observations. I can't watch him anymore for many of the reasons you mention. It is painful for me to see him flailing and thrashing in an obvious attempt to administer to his bruised ego.
He really is a spoiled child in a suit.
Thank you.
What you said.
When you’ve got the Con (as in helm or Conning tower) you have the Con.
ANd when the ship runs aground, even though you were not in the wheel-house, it’s still your fault for the ship running agound. IT’S YOUR FAULT.
So Mr. ZERO, you have the CON for now. AND IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!
good analysis.
One of the best posts I've read on Free Republic in the past few months. I cannot disagree with any of your points. What is it that they say about sending a boy to do a man's job?
Wow - excellent analysis of his psychology. So true, we will all pay for it for years to come. But it is the delusional psychology of fellow citizens who voted him in that we have to co-exist with. Hopefully the dawning of his failing weltenschauung will wake them up from their dreams.
Excellent post - if it’s based on that he doesn’t know what he’s doing, a bigger concern is if he knows exactly what he is doing.
Well said! We are already paying for his incredible inadequacy and ineptitude.
“That is why he is never working.”
Have you noticed that he has the cleanest desk top of any president I can remember? Of any business man or woman for that matter?
It’s as if the Oval Office has been staged to LOOK like the actual Oval Office. It’s not real and neither is he...let’s get rid of this POS this November or sooner if at all possible.
Excellent Analysis!
