President Obama continues to live in a state of denial regarding the message of the midterm elections. He stubbornly clings to the belief that his policies had nothing to do with the historic "shellacking" the voters gave his party and instead blames the red tide on his lack of communications skills. What a change from the 2008 campaign, when Mr. Obama was being heralded as the great orator of the 21st century. Apparently, the 2010 election was lost because Mr. Obama didn't have enough teleprompters.
"I think that over the course of two years, we were so busy and so focused on getting a bunch of stuff done that we stopped paying attention to the fact that leadership isn't just legislation," Mr. Obama told Steve Kroft in a "60 Minutes" interview. "That it's a matter of persuading people. And giving them confidence and bringing them together. And setting a tone." The president is only now realizing that it's not a textbook example of effective executive leadership to ram through unpopular legislation while mocking those who try to point out the negative consequences of his ill-advised actions. He did set a tone, but it was one of arrogance, condescension and recklessness.

Fixed it. This is what Obama really meant to say. Obama, the malignant narcissist that he is, sincerely believes that he is so convincing that he can stand in front of you on a rainy day and make you believe the sun is shining and there's not a cloud in the sky. He really believes his lies. He really believes people adore him and will accept whatever he says as truth. He truly is emotionally challenged and cannot accept the reality that is in front of him. Obama cannot step out of his fog, because he must protect his inner-self of recognizing any faults he has. To do so would mean he would lose the faux person that he has created and presents to the world and the real Obama...the fearful, self-loathing, dysfunctional personality that is hidden, would be exposed. The breakdown is coming.
This trip was scheduled so he would have the massive crowds around him again, adoring him and shouting "O-bam-a". Whether the Dems won or lost, this trip was planned only for the purpose of boosting Obama's ego. His close advisors and staffers know he needs continual narcissistic supply to keep going. He would not have had enough of it here in the U.S. So, off to India...where so many things had to be done that reflect the importance of taking care of him as the most important person to ever visit India. It is all a gigantic effort to assure him of his significance and restore his confidence and self-esteem.
